Through a shadowy group called the American Legislative Exchange Council, the billionaire Koch brothers have helped advance a number of state laws that benefit corporate and right-wing interests. An internal document shows ALEC is tracking 131 bills which, among other issues, seek to roll back renewable energy standards, combat federal coal regulations and tout the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. ALEC's efforts recently paid off in Oklahoma where Gov. Mary Fallin has signed a measure allowing utilities to charge and fine customers who generate energy from solar panels or small wind turbines. They also will no longer be able to get paid for the energy they input to the grid! Those with solar panels or turbines will be fined EVEN IF they do nothing against the fossil fuel power companies.
.....living off the grid is now sort of 'illegal' in Oklahoma! Now that is what I call American style 'progress'! Yeehaa! Stone age, here we come! ::::::
