Corporations don't serve on jury duty. Money doesn't buy speech, it buy a platform.
Money creates: CATO Institute,Competitive Enterprise Institute,Heartland Institute,George C. Marshall Institute,Ayn Rand Institute,John Birch Society,Encounter for Culture and Education,Inc.,Rowman & Littlefield Publisher's,Inc.,American Petroleum Institute,Charles Koch Foundation,Texas Public Policy Foundation,Searle Freedom Trust,American Enterprise Institute,Manhattan Institute,Americans for Prosperity,International Center for Economic Policy Studies,John Olin Foundation,Center for the Carbon Dioxide and Global Change,Global Climate Science Communications Action Plan,the Shelby Amendment,Hoover Institution,Hill & Knowlton,etc.,which all serve as a like-minded mouthpiece.
Oil depletion allowance and similar,annual, multi-billion dollar subsidies,which guarantee that a certain amount of corporate earnings are immune from taxation,absolutely provides for the underwriting of lectures,stipends,expenses,travel,publication,etc. ,of 'speech'.
It's all legal.And you'd expect the fossil-fuel industry to do no less.Some literally risk their lives to produce fossil-fuels so Sierra Club can contaminate the atmosphere as they fly around the Earth every year on admittedly the nastiest form of transportation,to hug a tree or sniff a flower in foreign lands.
