OilWatchdog colleague Carmen tells us that this month’s European junket throwing together energy execs with California regulators and legislators cost $8150 per person (including $800 in spending money!). Belgium, Germany and England on only $1,000 a day. And it’s all on the tab of a foundation, the California Climate Action Registry, funded by Chevron, Shell and BP, among others. Sweet… except for the consumers who, unlike the oil and power company execs on the trip, don’t get days on end of luxury-filled face time with the people who are supposed to make energy companies play fair to consumers and the environment. The San Diego Union Tribune recently took a hard look at an even bigger and shadier junket spender, the California Foundation for the Economy and Environment.
