The Daily Outrage: Stimulating… what exactly?

Published December 7, 2010 5:00am ET



WHO: U.S. Department of Energy

WHAT: Awarded around $2 billion in stimulus money to about three dozen of the nation’s worst polluters.

WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: The Obama administration has constantly touted clean energy, but granted the corporations exemptions from basic environmental oversight. Among the recipients were Wester Energy, Kansas’s largest coal-burning plant, DuPont chemical plant, and Duke Energy in Texas.

WHERE TO VENT: Department of Energy: 800-541-1625.
