Mike Malloy - The Koch Brothers Are Massive Killers



At long last, the Koch brothers and their conservative allies in state government have found a new tax they can support. Naturally it's a tax on something the country needs: solar energy panels.

For the last few months, the Kochs and other big polluters have been spending heavily to fight incentives for renewable energy, which have been adopted by most states. They particularly dislike state laws that allow homeowners with solar panels to sell power they don't need back to electric utilities. So they've been pushing legislatures to impose a surtax on this increasingly popular practice, hoping to make installing solar panels on houses less attractive.

and need to be brought to justice. The word is out on them and the proof is all there. Let 'em lawyer up and spend their money in court rather than shelling it out to ALEC and beholden politicians.
