Apr 2016

the Sanders campaign took in $24 from Nathen Causman, a lobbyist for the LNE Group, whose clients include American Municipal Power Inc.

although this is a extremely small amount, this still qualifies for saying the campaign took in money from fossil fuels....BUT

It’s important to distinguish here between the different ways the candidates (their affiliated Super PACs aside) can accept money from fossil fuel interests, however.

Neither campaign accepts money directly from fossil fuel companies (that wouldn’t be legal).
Neither campaign takes money from fossil fuel-affiliated SuperPACs funded by individuals in the industry.
At the same time, neither campaign rejects contributions from workers in the fossil fuel industry.
And neither campaign rejects money from lobbyists who represent the industry.
