As the now-famous prank phone call demonstrated, there is a tight bond between Wisconsin Republicans, their drive to balance budgets on the backs of the middle class, and their slavish devotion to the far right wing ideology of the Koch Brothers, who have contributed so much to Governor Scott Walker, and to Republicans nationwide.

The Kochs have enormous investments in fossil fuel energy, and many have questioned whether special provisions in Governor Walker’s budget legislation are configured to benefit the Kochs specifically, at the expense of Wisconsin tax payers.

But that’s not all. The republican legislature in Wisconsin recently upended a statewide plan for development of wind resources, one that was carefully worked out over two years, in a move that may shut down the wind industry in Wisconsin for the forseeable future.
