But donating the millions they do to charity doesn't make up for the damage they do. I guess I am cynical of the actions of fossil fuel companies given the industries history of lying and environmental destruction. The Kochs also donate to good causes, that doesn't mean their other actions are good. The good some companies do pales in comparison to the cost of what they do.
