ALEC on a Collision Course with Air Force over Renewable Energy

http://cleantechnica.com/2012/04/27/alec-on-a-collision-course-with-air-force-on-renewable-energy
The ALEC story has been migrating from the lobbying group’s role in controversial voter ID and “Stand Your Ground” gun legislation over to CleanTechnica territory, with news that the organization has been planning to thwart renewable energy goals on the state level. That’s where things could really start to get interesting, because ALEC’s determination to undercut state standards for renewable energy puts it at odds with the energy security goals of the U.S. Air Force, and for that matter the entire Department of Defense.

So conservative ALEC is fighting stated conservative goals of reduced government cost because said goals don't put money in the "right" pockets.
