Many thanks to Connor Gibson and Greenpeace for the lift. Another strike
against ALEC and another win for clean American energy (but see below re:
our current OH fight).

Greenpeace blog link focuses on fossil fuel front groups, nuances included
(we won't assume this is a permanent win).

> Rep. Hager did much of the work for us by alienating many Republicans who
felt he'd two-time them by editing out their amendments once the bill
landed back in his committee (or so I've been told from the ground).

> This means ALEC has lost the first two of its three major anti-clean
energy plays. The odds seemed to be against us in both Kansas and NC, but
local groups and businesses were aggressive in pushing back against the
flawed data that ALEC/Beacon Hill Institute are pushing into the hands of
lawmakers. We provided background support to expose the other State Policy
Network groups and fossil fuel interests that have supported ALEC, like the
Heartland Institute, American Tradition Institute, Americans for Prosperity
and the Institute for Energy Research.

> Ohio is still in the thick of this with Sen. Bill Seitz's hearing
yesterday. If we can keep ALEC from getting their first RPS repeal trophy
there, this will be a rough start for one of Todd Wynn's stated national
ALEC priorities in 2013-2014.

> Thanks to all who supported and helped us connect on the ground, I hope
to send good news on Ohio soon...
