On the other hand here's another Pete guy (note Pete says he doesn't accept fossil fuel money next to the donate button on his site):
Hamilton James—executive vice chairman of Blackstone, the world’s largest private equity firm
James hosted a Buttigieg fundraiser at his home on June 13, drawing finance industry support. James is a longtime Democratic donor who The New York Times described in 2016 as “one of the leading Wall Street contenders for an economic policy post in a future Clinton administration.”
Blackstone are significant investors in the fossil fuel industry, and while large donations from their executives don’t technically violate the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge, signed by Buttigieg and other presidential candidates, their firms are active drivers of the current boom in U.S. fossil fuel production. For example, read this about their credit division:
