Hippies and libertarians have become unlikely allies in a war against solar power
Cool & correct piece about solar power. - http://qz.com/119215/hippies-and-lib...t-solar-power/

Interesting article. I heard on the radio the other day that individual producers of solar energy are the next target of an ALEC legislative crusade.

To be honest with ya, the more corporate ownership of Congress I see, the more appeal some libertarian ideas have. But . . . there has to be some way to check corporate power and I don't see them behaving if we get government out of the picture altogether. One possible way - and the most appealing Idea I ever heard from Ron Paul - is for stringent enforcement of anti-trust laws.

On this subject, I thought I heard on the radio last night that the NFL is still legally a non-profit and Senator Tom Coburn was going after them...? Have you heard about this? Are they really a non-profit? |
Bad headline--they should have said 'allies in war to save solar power."
But interesting article, for sure. I'd heard some murmurs about this before. Needs to be on the radar. |

I can see a couple of positives from this.
First, alternative energy is finally becoming affordable, therefore viable. Second, people, or at least some, are beginning to realize that our current bought and paid for two party system is doing a poor job of addressing their needs. Chas |

Interesting article. I was wondering how the energy companies would survive without any customers if we all switched to solar.
I notice the abundance of advertising now for solar leasing programs. Sounds great, clean renewable energy, I'd love to do it, but what happens to the thousands of ConEd workers and such? |
