  • Accelerated Attacks on Clean Energy by Koch Bros
    Checks and Balances Project Documents: Accelerated Attacks on Clean Energy by Koch Bros. $192 Million to 72 Groups Associated with Opposition to Clean Energy Solutions and Climate Change Denial from 1997-2013 $108 Million to At Least 19 Groups to Fight State Renewable Energy Policies 2011-2013 (Over 18 months, Checks and Balances Project conducted the first in-depth investigation into Koch Industries, Inc. AND what we call the Koch Advocacy Network. Over 350 low-profile regulatory disclosures and more than 8,000 legal disclosure forms drawn from over 60 public agencies, databases and courts were examined. Research was completed prior to the 2016 election.) In August 2015 President Obama singled out the “massive lobbying efforts backed by fossil fuel interests, or conservative think tanks, or the Koch brothers pushing for new laws to roll back renewable energy standards or prevent new clean energy businesses from succeeding.” The President described these anti-clean energy efforts as “rent seeking and trying to protect old ways of doing business and standing in the way of the future.”1 Charles Koch responded that, “We are not trying to prevent new clean energy businesses from succeeding” and warned against “subsidizing uneconomical forms of energy — whether you call them ‘green,’ ‘renewable’ or whatever.” He continued, “And there is a big debate on whether you have a real disease or something that’s not that serious. I recognize there is a big debate about that. But whatever it is, the cure is to do things in the marketplace, and to let individuals and companies innovate, to come up with alternatives that will deal with whatever the problem may be in an economical way so we don’t squander resources on uneconomic approaches.” 2 The defense outlined by Charles mirrors the strategy of the network he oversees.

  • Billionaires Tea Party
    1 THE BILLIONAIRES’ TEA PARTY How Corporate America is Faking a Grassroots Revolution [transcript] Barack Obama: This is our moment. This is our time. To reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that where we are many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes we can. Man on Stage: They’re listening to us. They are taking us seriously, and the message is: It’s our county, and they can have it when they pry it from our cold dead fingers. They work for me! NARRATOR: Where did it all go wrong for Barack Obama and the democrats? After sweeping to power with a promise of hope and change, a citizens uprising called the tea party movement emerged. Their message was “no” to big government spending, “no” to healthcare and climate change legislation, and “no” to Obama himself. Woman: Obama is a communist. He says that he doesn't believe in the constitution. NARRATOR: Then, two years into Obama’s presidency, tea party endorsed candidates emerged to sweep the republicans to victory in the House of Representatives. Male News Reader: 32% of the candidates that were elected last night across this country are affiliated with the Tea Party movement. Rand Paul: There's a Tea Party tidal wave, and we're sending a message to 'em. Female Reporter: And they see it as a repudiation of the President and his policies.
