What are the fine folks at ALEC up to these days?



CFACT takes the stage, delivers important message to ALEC attendees

CFACT teamed up with the Heartland Institute to deliver a takedown of the Green New Deal’s energy policies during a “standing-room-only” side event.

The 52nd Annual Meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council took place last week in Indianapolis, drawing together conservative and libertarian-minded state legislators from all 50 states. Prominent in this gathering was CFACT, which used the opportunity to sponsor four “model bills” and to make a presentation on the perils to the grid from green (solar and wind) energy.

Speaking before a packed chamber filled to “standing room only,” CFACT President Craig Rucker teamed up with the Heartland Institute’s president, James Taylor, to offer the attendees a takedown of the Green New Deal’s energy policies. The panel, hosted by energy expert Steve Milloy, was kicked off by Taylor who took aim at the shoddy science backing up the climate alarm theory and the exorbitant costs imposed by transitioning the grid from reliable to unreliable energy.



President Craig Rucker takes time to chat with New Hampshire State Representative Jeanine Notter about energy concerns in the Granite State.
