Companies like as eBay, IKEA and Mars are increasingly supporting US clean energy policies
[...] Business is becoming a powerful new ally in the U.S. political battle to stop climate change. Driven by pressure from environmental groups and by the increasingly competitive prices of wind and solar, many companies have pledged to power their operations with clean energy. But the legal and technical complexity of U.S. electricity markets has stalled corporate progress on their clean power goals. This has prompted companies as diverse as eBay, Mars, IKEA and Walmart to push for public policies that expand the generation of renewable energy in the U.S. and make it more accessible through mandates, incentives and other regulations.

The big shots
Increased business lobbying for clean energy policies by the likes of Nestle, Salesforce, Unilever and other large companies has the potential to tip the political scale in favor of a carbon-free economy and help the U.S. reach or exceed Paris Agreement emissions targets.
[...] There’s little evidence of a slowdown in lobbying by fossil fuel interests, so the question is whether corporate lobbying for clean energy will ramp up fast enough to change the course of U.S. climate and energy policy.
