Seator Whitehouse Explains The Scam Behind Trump's Attack On Clean Energy And How That Screws Everyone But The Fossil Fuel Oligarchs

I'm old enough so I remember when Ronald Reagan, in one of his first acts as president removed the solar panels from the White House that Jimmy Carter had had installed.  The Republican Party has been in the pocket of the oil, gas and coal industry since at least then.   And, of course, the Supreme Court scuttling of clean election laws on the pretext of, you know "The First Amendment" clearly has been, too.    If he has some free time I hope Senator Whitehouse would do an estimate of how much corruption and oligarchic theft we have suffered from the Buckley v Valeo and its ever more corrupt progeny have cost us.   While racists have cost us enormously,  the rich have cost us ever more in concert with the "civil liberties" industry.
