where the anti-regulations warrior brothers are, yes, fighting for more regulations on solar energy technology. Charles and David have for years used Americans for Prosperity to wage an anti-renewables war across the country, most notably in Florida and North Carolina

Undeterred by public outcry as ever, the Kochs are getting some backup from, well, themselves — or ALEC, anyway. A newly-adopted ALEC resolution endorses and seeks to legally entrench the Kochs’ plan to suppress the growth and adoption of solar energy.

According to the Koch-backed Heartland Institute , the resolution aims to stop an effort to institute “market-share carve-outs to allow the solar power industry keep ownership of the equipment – and the government subsidies given to the owners of solar power equipment – and sell solar power rather than the solar equipment directly to consumers.”

While individuals can under current law purchase solar power technology outright, allowing companies to maintain ownership of the panels and other equipment, and effectively lease it out by charging customers for the power, would in theory cut down on consumers’ fixed costs and broadly expand their ability to access the clean energy technology.
