Rockefellers Pull Out of Fossil Fuels THE descendants of US oil tycoon John Rockefeller are slashing their investments in the fossil fuels that helped create their vast fortune, diverting the money to renewable energy. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which oversees US$860m of investments, made the announcement in the run-up to a UN climate change summit taking place today. It says that the move reflects its “deep commitment to combating climate change,” and will start immediately. “Our immediate focus will be on coal and tar sands, two of the most intensive sources of carbon emissions,” the group says in a statement. “We are working to eliminate the fund’s exposure to these energy sources as quickly as possible.” tcetoday/latest%20news/2014/september/rockefellers%20pull%20out%20of%20fossil%20fuels.aspx#.VDxtIahdWJA
