Lobbyists wield far too much influence and now we know that a company that works for a company that was working for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity sent forged letters opposing climate legislation to Congress. The forgeries are being blamed on a now-fired temp employee. It’s no wonder so many voters are cynical. The American Clean Energy and Security Act, which was narrowly approved by the House in late June, is pending in the Senate. For more info on the forgeries, check out Green Inc.’s report.
Kudos to the Charlottesville, VA paper that broke the story.
