In a Jan. 26 announcement at a donors’ retreat in Palm Springs, California, the Koch brothers announce their plan to spend nearly all of the future generation’s well-being to support conservative candidates in the 2016 elections.

The plan comes as no surprise to political commentators and is in line with the gradual uptick in campaign spending since the Citizen United ruling in 2010.

“We’ve got all the money in the world, and as such we feel as though we have the responsibility to decide the election for our poorer Americans,” David Koch said to open their Palm Springs retreat. “Of course, our decision will reflect our current energy interests.”

The Kochs promised to spend nearly $900 million on the 2016 election, but they said that this is a small amount in the scope of the long-term effects.

“With our efforts, we hope to put a coal-friendly candidate in the White House. Coal is a clean, sustainable source of energy and it wouldn’t make sense to find alternative sources of energy when we have so much clean coal right here in the United States,” Charles Koch said.

When asked about how their goals conflict with contended issues like climate change at a Jan. 30 press conference, following last month’s grave IPCC report, the Koch brothers were honest and stuck to what they know.

“I’m not a scientist, so I can’t fairly speak on the matter,” David Koch said. “But I am rich as shit, so I’m convinced the best thing for everyone is for me to sell more coal and make even more money.“

The more informal tone of the press conference showed a more personable side of the brothers that the public rarely sees. Their plan has received generally favorable reception among local Republicans.

“I definitely like what they’re doing,” said Lincoln resident John Green. “Sure, I think that we might be somewhat responsible for the changing climate, but that’s not a problem I’m going to have to deal with in my lifetime, so who cares?”
