"Helped shape" != "Dictated". It makes perfect sense to have industry members be a part of discussions about regulations and problems related to their industry. Industry members shouldn't be able to dictate the outcomes of those discussions, but they should certainly be able to participate in them.
I don’t think is one of those cases where it’s helpful to have everyone “have a seat at the table.”
The oil industry would make more money than anyone else at that table and have outsized influence.
They also have a history of misleading the public and outright lying about climate change.
