Got to wonder who funds them. As for the states fighting to lower energy bills, do these include the ones blocking natural gas pipelines, pushing for expensive wind and solar, pushing for costly transmission, sucking taxpayers for subsidies, etc.?

    The only "climate pollution" being emitted is the propoganda from the likes of the League of Conservation Voters.

    Critical thinking and civilized debate needs to taught in all schools starting in kindergarten.  Legislators should have to pass standard IQ prerequisites and demonstrate a healthy level of common sense before being elected to any office.  Lobbyists should be banned in order to protect the integrity of our elected representatives.
