All of them, but the lobbyists are not the sole problem for rising oil costs. There are currently 6 major oil cos world wide, of which hold a monopoly on oil business, thus they are liberty to set prices at any level they so choose because there is no competition for them. The US EPA is also part of the problem, they have not allowed drilling within our country especially off the coast of California, and throughout Alaska where there is enough oil to keep the USA abundantly supplied for the next 20 yrs, thus we would not be dependent upon foreign oil sources. Recent studies have shown that the pipelines that currently exist in Alaska have not harmed wild life nor the tundra in any form, in fact the exact opposite has occurred, the wildlife has flourished do to the warmth that is generated from the pipeline, so the bottom line is that we need to tell the EPA to stop lying and allow US drilling ASAP.

All of them do. Just about every manufacturer in the US has lobbiest there to pressure Congress into voting for their cause. They are paid by the companies or causes they represent. Most of them don't agree on the subject, but money speaks louder than words.
Watch the Eddie Murphy movie " The Distingushed Gentelmen" It gives some truth of how things don't get done in Washington DC

The Center for Public Integrity has an excellent site called The Politics of Oil. It has a directory of all the oil companies that are active in Washington.
More information than you could possibly ever use.

Technically he did now no longer take money from extensive oil, yet he used the comparable artwork-around the Republicans use. they grant to the occasion, the occasion spends the money helping the candidate. It grew to grow to be into deceptive, yet now no longer faux. Being intentionally deceptive is as undesirable as mendacity, if now no longer worse.
