RWE

Under a U.S. settlement to abandon offshore wind leases, RWE will receive $1.2 billion and is allocating about $900 million to buy a stake in the Louisiana LNG project from a private equity fund run by Michael Dorrell, a major donor to Donald Trump. Lawmakers and advocacy groups say the transaction raises conflict-of-interest and taxpayer-waste concerns because the settlement required investments in oil, gas or nuclear but did not specify recipients. RWE and U.S. officials say the company chose the investment independently and that the agreement defines only that funds be spent on conventional energy; congressional probes and lawsuits seek to recover or review the payouts. » More on yahoo.com
