A secretive group known for authoring and pushing through right-wing laws is preparing a new campaign against renewable energy and environmental regulation. According to The Guardian, the American Legislative Exchange Council, ALEC, has prepared a number of model bills that include blocking President Obama from cutting emissions, slowing the Environmental Protection Agency, and weakening state policies promoting clean energy. One measure would charge homeowners fees for installing their own solar panels. The new energy bills follow ALEC’s sponsoring of at least 77 energy measures in 34 states last year.
