ALEC calls for penalties on 'freerider' homeowners who install solar panels

Yelp, Facebook and Google are members of ALEC. Hopefully this latest development will provide the public attention needed for them to drop their support, although I'm not particularly hopeful.

For those who are unaware, ALEC is well known for their lobbying efforts in:

  Stand Your Ground laws
  Voter ID
  Anti-Abortion choice
  Privatization of Education
  Privatization of Prisons
  Killing renewable energy adoption
  The Keystone XL Pipeline
  Arizona’s SB 1070 Immigration Law
  Stopping the EPA from regulating the coal industry
  Pushing against bans on cigarette branding outside the US

There are few things in life I can count on reliably. ALEC generating terrible model legislation is one of them.
