America's Top Polluters for Bush (pdf)
Bush's top supporters (over $100000) are called "rangers" and "pioneers". Does every single thing about the Republican party have to be so sickeningly cringe-inducing? Is there somebody who makes sure their PR is as horribly tacky as it could possibly be? Who makes this shit up?
The dirtiest power plants in the U.S. generate more than their share of harmful pollution. And their parent corporations go the extra mile to generate campaign cash for President Bush.
The dirtiest facilities represent only 5 percent of the nation's plants, but cause 43 percent of sulfur dioxide, 31 percent of carbon dioxide and 43 percent of mercury emitted by the entire power sector. When the corporations that owned these plants faced EPA enforcement, the utility industry generated $6.6 million for Bush's campaigns -- and gained influence over administration policies in return.
