Democracynow.org: Coal Company on Worst-Polluter List is Major Bush Donor.

Well, well, well...

An American power company named in a new report on the world’s worst polluters is also a major donor to President Bush. According to the Centre for Global Development, Southern Company is in the top two of the worst utility polluters in the U.S. and ranks sixth-worst in the world. One Southern plant in Juliette, Georgia emits more carbon dioxide every year than Brazil’s entire power sector. Finance records show Southern Company employees have donated more than six million dollars to Republican campaigns since 1990, including more than two-hundred thousand to elect President Bush.
