Faith-Based Climate Change Ad Frames Energy Company as 'Evildoers'

Taking from the poor?
The bill proposed here will impose a very regressive tax on those least able to afford it. The $1,600 per year burden on the average household (according to the Wall Street Journal) that these people want to impose on families in these diffilult times appears to be the thing that is hidden in a dark place. Perhaps even darker is the anticipated impact on the climate, after a hundred years it will be unnoticable. Taking from the poor for 100 years for a project that will have no mesurable result, now that's dark!
Where's the Beef?
It is sad to see political rhetoric masquerading as religious purpose. This ad is more of the fog-and-mirrors of the fraudulent political discussion we are having on this and many other critical issues. This ad is no more than a sound bite created to evoke emotion rather than appeal to reason. PS - Not all Christians would agree with this ad in the least.
Southern Company Statement
While we respect the rights of individuals and groups to express their opinion, we feel it is important to set the record straight. We support legislation that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, keeps electricity reliable and protects our customers who can least afford to pay from exorbitant price increases. We also support the expansion of renewable energy where it's available and makes economic sense for our customers. In our view, keeping electricity affordable for all and protecting our environment can be done together, if done right. For more details on our position, see http://bit.ly/UBBRh.
It's good to see some
balance on Christian Radio, even if it has to be bought as paid ads. It's really good to see this coming from well-meaning people of faith. And, best of all, the targets are CORPORATIONS.
The key to this working is that the science people put up from the from the "right", who insist that climate change is not man-made, must be debunked.
