In reply to the discussion: ALEC calls for penalties on 'freerider' homeowners in assault on clean energy [View all]Old and In the Way
(37,540 posts)27. Energy policy is political.
The Koch party is all about coal and oil. Democrats need to understand that renewables are all about decentralization, subsidizing Big Oil with Defense expenditures, and ruining our environment with dirty coal. One policy gives future generation of Americans a better environment and economic opportunity...the other makes the Kochs richer at our personal/national expense. I truly wish the rubes that vote against their best interests will figure this out befiore it's too late.
