Addendum to climate bill article

You know that link at the top of the list at the right? The one about the Center for Public Integrity's Climate Lobbyist Investigation? Well, their reports were mentioned in the climate bill article as well.

One particularly dandy piece of information from the article:

"As of the first quarter this year, Atlanta-based Southern Company, the corporate parent of Alabama Power Co. and Mississippi Power Co., had 63 lobbyists seeking to influence climate change legislation, far more than any other U.S. business or interest group..."

I doubt these companies really have the people's interests in mind.
