Free Market’ Republicans Give the Koch Brothers and ALEC a Monopoly Over Ohio’s Energy"
snipit,
The Koch brothers who use their substantial fortunes to buy conservative politicians and anything their f*****t hearts desire, but their billions-of-dollars cannot buy the Sun or the wind to maintain their monopoly supplying dirty energy. However, they can buy Republican legislators to pass the Koch’s American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) template legislation to eradicate solar and wind competition. Unfortunately for Ohio residents, the Kochs and ALEC celebrated their first success restricting consumers from accessing the Sun and wind for their electrical power needs. Maybe the Koch’s cannot buy and eliminate the Sun, but they can, and will, prohibit its use.
Across America many states, and consumers, are overwhelmingly moving to embrace cheaper, cleaner, and renewable wind and solar energy, including Ohio v**ers who are strongly in favor of clean energy standards. The Koch brothers and ALEC could not care less what Ohio v**ers want and on Wednesday the state’s legislature passed an ALEC bill that rolls back its renewable energy standard (RES) and freezes mandates requiring utilities to add clean alternative energy. The now-dead RES required utilities to get 25% of their power from wind, solar, and (not) clean coal production by 2025, but there was no chance the Koch’s were going to allow a competing commodity to cut into their monopoly. ALEC alumnus and Ohio Governor John Kasich is expected to sign the ALEC-Koch legislation into law despite Ohio v**ers and a conservative business organizations’ objections.
To be clear I'm not picking one side over the other, but rather debating the fact you said it's mostly liberals, with that I disagree. Monopolies are not good for the country competition and the the best competitive price for the consumer. I would rather see 20 locally owned businesses that one giant store like Walmart.

Looks to me like the kettle is calling the pot black. George Soros has control of more area's in our economic system and political groups than the Koch Bros ever will have. How in the world can you explain that wind power is producing a viable product when they are paid even when the turbines are not producing power? I do agree that solar power in the future could be a money savings for all Americans but that is far off in the future unless a better solar panel is invented. If there were more local stores than those like Walmart the poor person would be hurt more than people in the middle class because prices would be high because, of the stores not being able to buy in a large quantity.
