William Koch is the President and founder of the Oxbow Corporation, which according to it’s own website is:

โ€œโ€ฆ made up of more than two dozen companies with yearly aggregate sales approaching $1 billion, combined assets of over $425 million and over 600 employees worldwide. Oxbowโ€™s primary businesses are the mining and marketing of energy and bulk commodities such as coal, natural gas, petroleum, metallurgical and calcined coke, and electric power generation. โ€œ

According to the local Cape Cod Today, โ€œCoal, oil and gas magnate William I. Koch, of West Palm Beach, FL and Hyannisport, is the third โ€œAdvocatesโ€ director listed on the incorporation papers. Koch has been identified in several published reports as a major financial supporter of the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound in its efforts to stop the Cape Wind project. Koch also is a current director of the Alliance.โ€
