watching fox news and the republicans in congress do the heavy lifting for the oil and coal industries attempting to stifle any alternative energy advancement in this country is like watching a rerun of an awful reality show that hasn't aired yet. of course oil, gas and coal companies want all the free taxpayer money for themselves and don't want any wussie sunlight getting a piece of the action, so they are hoping that they can pound obama and the solar industry at the same time with another inane scandal. david dayen has been all over this stuff on fdl with lots more on the hilarious antics.
the tell is pretty easy here: the republicans never bitch about the outrageous cost of nuclear energy. fox news never spends 96 hours straight emphasizing the billions in direct subsidy of the oil industry. the congress never holds subcommittee show trials exposing the state of the coal industry. it ain't about the money or the well-being of the nation.
