−	In 2009 a memo from [[Jack Gerard]], President and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute (API), was leaked to Greenpeace. The memo revealed that the API and its membership were targeting the Waxman-Markey bill and other legislation like it in a PR campaign aimed at persuading the public that such measures would mean high petrol prices and job losses. The memo revealed that in the eyes of API at least, the PR campaign was a success.
