A Pushback on Green Power? It's Got the Koch Brothers' Fingerprints All Over It

A victory for the Koch Brothers in Ohio.

A Pushback on Green Power.  (The New York Times, 5/28/2014)

See ALEC model legislation on energy issues.  Eli Miller, Americans for Prosperity’s Ohio state director, backed by the billionaire industrialists David H. and Charles G. Koch, called the proposed law “a prudent step” to re-examine standards that could be a “potential impediment to job creation and job growth here in the Buckeye State.”

But Gabe Elsner, executive director of the Energy and Policy Institute, a pro-renewables group that sees efforts to weaken incentives and mandates as part of a campaign by utility and fossil fuel interests, said the temporary halt could do away with the law entirely.
