Southern Mounted Lobbying Blitz On Climate Bill

摘要

The Southern Co., the nation's largest electricity generator and one of the fiercest utility opponents of capping U.S greenhouse gas emissions, had the largest contingent of lobbyists of any company or business group seeking to shape Democratic climate change and energy legislation approved by the House last week, according to an analysis by the Center for Public Integrity, a non-profit investigative journalism organization based in Washington.rnThe analysis, described in an article posted Wednesday on the Center for Public Integrity's Paper Trail blog, is based on lobbying registration statements filed at the Senate Office of Public Record during the first three months of 2009.
