Here’s Rep. Pricey Harrison’s thoughts on yesterday’s Energy Citizens rally:
“We have a finite amount of oil in this country,” she said. “That’s not sustainable. We have got to wean ourselves off fossil fuels.”
Harrison and others at the counter-rally dismissed the Energy Citizens event as an “astroturf,” or fake grassroots effort, funded by “big oil.” “What they’re doing is funding oil employees or whoever they can get to look like there’s this groundswell opposition to clean-energy legislation,” she said. “I just have not heard that kind of opposition to it from people at the legislature.”
But I can’t help but wonder just ‘who the people at the legislature’ are. The same ones that just raised taxes?
