Hassenboehler was paid $138,289.44 by the Federal Government in 2010
Hassenboehler supported climate denier James Inhofe’s trip to Copenhagen, where Inhofe hoped to prove that climate change was the “the second-largest hoax ever played on the American people, after the separation of church and state.”
Hassenboehler played a major role in working to derail efforts by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and former Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) to pass a cap-and-trade bill in 2008. “He joined just before Lieberman-Warner cap-and-trade bill hit the floor and was instrumental in working to defeat it,” Matt Dempsey, Inhofe’s spokesman, said.
As a counsel on the House Energy and Commerce Commitee for rep. Joe Barton, Hassenboehler made several trips funded by the natural gas interests he now represents as a lobbyist.
Hassenboehler wrote a letter to the EPA opposing the Waxman-Markey climate legislation and questioning the existence and science behind global warming.
Hassenboehler’s current employer is America’s Natural Gas alliance (ANGA), which is an alliance of 31 independent natural gas companies. ANGA was formed in March 2009 because industry executives feared climate legislation would disadvantage the fuel compared with competitors. The group beefed up lobbying in the Senate after the House-passed climate bill gave a boost to coal-fired power plants.
ANGA has hired multiple high level republican staffers since the 2010 election, which gave republicans control of Congress.
