Battles have already been waged in a number of state legislatures with the Utilities winning (and consumers losing!) all too many of them. Those wins were all secured with the help of special interest money.<\/p>\n<p>One such battle took place in Indiana in 2015, with the first round being won by consumers due to strong grassroots opposition to a blatantly sweetheart deal for the Utilities. However, this \u201cwin\u201d was by a decision, at best, and the Utilities ARE bound to come out swinging in the next round in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The mission of The Fauxton Report is to shed light on the Utilities\u2019 war on rooftop solar and on the scourge of special interest money in our political system.
