If you look up on NextEra on OpenSecrets, their 2022 cycle donations were 60/40 in favor of Democrats. Earlier cycles tilt the other way but the larger point is that if you want a utility company where you're not going to support shit you disagree with, you're probably going to have to go Ted Kaczynski and find a cabin in the remote woods.

"everybody gives to both sides" doesn't cover it in this case. It's significantly misrepresents the difference in the influence of these two companies. That is, with the limited information given so far.

Follow your own logic. Assume I'm not Ted kaczynski. Therefore, assume I'm going to have to make compromises. Assume I've accepted that there isn't a utility company that does zero I disagree with. The idea that that means I have to consider these two companies equal is stupid.

This binary thinking is childish.
