The Washington Post had an interesting front page article on how efforts to roll back renewable energy requirements are encountering stiff resistance even in heavily Republican states. The resistance is coming largely from businesses who are profiting from producing wind or solar energy. It’s striking that having a relatively small number of businesses who have profits on the line can apparently have a major influence on the political process.
