ALEC: For-Profit Environmental Destruction

We often wonder why our energy policies are going down the toilet.

Well, when you take a look at the
Energy Task Force of the ALEC
Task Force Committee Roster as of 6/30/2011
as found on the Common Cause Webpage – you get a pretty good idea why our energy policies are going to hell in a hand basket at the state and federal levels and the reason is the American Legislative Exchange Council corporate profit sector members manipulating energy legislation through ALEC “model” legislation.

The roster shows that there are 233 members.
A recent review of the roster shows that 138 of the members are ALEC legislators.

Then you have 95 environmental antagonists on the task force:
