It isn't even bad for business. It just shifts what counts as good business away from oil extraction. These Republicans are acting to protect very particular businesses from the direction the market would otherwise take.
From the article,
Of course this is all signaling so they don't really care if its a workable proposal. They're just continuing their bullshit fight to block votes they disagree with. In politics its disenfranchisement and whatnot and here its blocking shareholder votes. As you point out, even if they succeed in muzzling everybody they disagree with they'll still be forced to confront the business reality: this stuff is real and good businesses plan when real shit goes down.
These fucktards don't seem to care though.
