Not-so-smart ALEC: How the lobbying group uses bad data to fight clean energy http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1361816848
Renewable energy is clean, sustainable, non-polluting, reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, improves the health of communities surrounding power plants, and protects the natural environment. Who could be against it?
Answer: The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a lobbying group that is active in drafting and advocating controversial state legislation.... ALEC wants to speed up the permitting process for mines, oil and gas wells, and power plants -- and to eliminate all state requirements for the use of renewable energy. The latter goal is packaged as the "Electricity Freedom Act.”

I hear ALEC is changing their name to Enhanced Volition for Independent Legislation (EVIL).
