Do you think that "alternative energy" money isn't being "targeted at big business"?

Go look up the US Climate Action Partnership - it's a "who's who" of big business. They're pushing "Cap and Trade" through Congress, possibly even putting some $$$ into the pockets of "undecided" politicians.

I heard that the bread for "Cash for Clunkers ver 2.0" came from some TARP or "recovery" slush fund set up by COngress.

How come nobody is discussing how this "cash for clunkers" is hurting working poor folks? You know, the folks who buy clunkers to get to work and back? Doesn't anyone think of them, or are they invisible because they don't have lobbyists in Congress?
