The democratic and republican parties have vastly different stances when it comes to the importance of climate preservation, healthcare, preservation of forests, and clean energy. Because of this, fossil fuel and oil industries tend to contribute mostly to the GOP, while climate preservation and green energy companies tend to fund the democratic party. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002, also known as "McCain-Feingold", is the most recent major federal law affecting campaign finance, the key provisions of which prohibited unregulated contributions (commonly referred to as "soft money") to national political parties and limited the use of corporate dollars in elections. It also doubled the contribution limit of hard money, from $1,000 to $2,000 per election cycle, with a built-in increase for inflation.
