Time to Wake Up: What Big Oil Companies Say Vs. What They Do
Pushing Back against ALEC
(American Legislative Exchange Council)
“ALEC is an organization, which works to undercut climate science and undermine climate progress at the state level, interfering in our state legislatures. ALEC has tried to roll back state renewable fuel standards and has handed out model state legislation to obstruct and tie up the President’s Clean Power Plan.”
~ US Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island, Speech delivered on the Senate Floor, March 12, 2015
ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) — the acronym and the name sound so innocent. George Orwell saw this “Newspeak” (no longer new) and the state of perpetual war far in advance of the rest of the world. It is one thing to speak the truth, but to be able to predict future events makes him virtually unique among 20th century thinkers. Big Oil = Big Brother?

George Orwell was not the only one who saw where humankind was headed. We just refused to pay attention and take action. Now, the countdown to total ecological collapse has begun.
Big Oil = Big Brother? I suppose they can be seen as two sides of the same coin.
