Having done enough damage on Gun Control, ALEC sets its sights on GREEN ENERGY [View all]

[TrollBuster9090]

The 2013 ALEC Conference in Washington, featuring keynote speakers Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz, will focus on ways to eliminate GREEN ENERGY in favor of the good old Fossil Fuels industry. (I guess they figured they've done enough to ensure the profits of the Gun Manufacturers, and were ignoring their other patrons?)

They are even going so far as to push FINANCIAL PENALTIES against people who put SOLAR PANELS on their own roofs. Observe a little bit of their handywork in Arizona, and see what lies ahead in YOUR State.

"In November, Arizona became the first state to charge utility customers for installing solar panels. The fee, which works out to about $5 a month for the average homeowner, was far lower than that sought by the main electricity company, which was seeking to add up to $100 a month to customers’ bills.

Gabe Elsner, director of the Energy and Policy Institute, said the attack on small-scale solar was part of the larger ALEC project to block clean energy. “They are trying to eliminate pro-solar policies in the states to protect utility industry profits,” he said."

So, let me get this straight. The Electrical Utility companies (via their sockpuppet ALEC) want to lobby State governments to charge households a fee for NOT using THEIR electricity? Nice racket, guys.
