With Chesapeake Energy currently going through difficult economic times, Denise Bode - the former propaganda minister for Aubrey McClendon- jumped ships last year and is now working for an outfit called the American Wind Energy Association. AWEA joined with a number of other environmental groups to sponsor a "green inaugural" event yesterday. Check out the list of groups co-sponsoring the event with AWEA, It's a regular who's who in environmental wackoism:
American Wind Energy Association; Clean Tech & Green Business for Obama; Google; LiveFuels; Organic Soul, Inc.; Sierra Club; Solar Energy Industries Association; The AES Corporation; National Wildlife Federation; U.S. Green Building Council; Activate; American Council on Renewable Energy; Clean Power Campaign; Climate Change Capital; EcoAmerica;First Solar; Trust for Public Land; Wind Capital Group; 1Sky Education Fund; Alliance for Sustainable Colorado; Chicago Climate Exchange; Defenders of Wildlife; Earth Day Network; EarthJustice; Environmental Defense Fund; Esty Environmental Partners; GroSolar; League of Conservation Voters; Natural Resources Defense Council; Rocky Mountain Institute; SunWorks LLC; The Wildnerness Society; Zenvironment.
You may ask how could a good conservative be involved with these groups? Did we forget to mention Ms. Bode was a card carrying Democrat in an earlier life? Her's an excerpt from a 2006 OKPNS post:
Below is from a 1985 People Magazine article titled:PULLING STRINGS ON CAPITOL HILL, THESE LOBBYISTS ARE TRYING TO UNRAVEL REAGAN’S TAX REFORM “Bode was still working in the Senate three years ago when she showed her mettle. Exhausted and eight months pregnant, she helped shepherd the 1982 gas tax bill through the Senate.”
