ALEC calls for penalties on 'freerider' homeowners who install solar panels
- ddeck 13y agoYelp, Facebook and Google are members of ALEC. Hopefully this latest development will provide the public attention needed for them to drop their support, although I'm not particularly hopeful. For those who are unaware, ALEC is well known for their lobbying efforts in: Stand Your Ground laws Voter ID Anti-Abortion choice Privatization of Education Privatization of Prisons Killing renewable energy adoption The Keystone XL Pipeline Arizona’s SB 1070 Immigration Law Stopping the EPA from regulating the coal industry Pushing against bans on cigarette branding outside the US http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legislative_Exchange_Council http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legislative_Exchange_C...
