Koch Brothers oppose solar power


These guys don’t  quit.  First they are on a mission to buy the American electoral process.  Not wanting any opposition to their schemes, they go on another mission to destroy unions.  Now they are campaigning in Kansas to overturn a mandate that 20% of the state’s electricity must come from renewable sources.  They will start with Kansas and then move on to other states.  They have also enlisted the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in their fight.  (Info from an article by Evan Halper in today’s Morning Call entitled “Solar’s Power Challenged.”)

There are possible reasons why they are doing this.  One is that renewable sources of power will cut the revenues from oil and tar sands, the major reason that Charles and David are the second and third richest men in America.  Presumably they hope to be #1 and 2.

The other reason is that they are truly subversive men, out to destroy not only American democracy, but also the future of the planet.  

Or both.
