George Allen launches "American Energy Freedom Center" (funded by ExxonMobil)
George Allen officially launches his ‘industry-backed anti-regulatory group.’

Earlier today, former Republican senator George Allen officially launched his latest venture, “an industry-backed anti-regulatory group” called American Energy Freedom Center. In a webcast today, Allen claimed that he wants to “tell people the truthful story about America’s energy potential that has never been told before.” Allen’s new organization is a partner group to the Institute for Energy Research, which is partially funded by Exxon Mobil and run by Robert Bradley Jr., who worked at Enron. In 2003, Bradley wrote the book “Climate Alarmism Reconsidered,” which argued that “that climate alarmism and its corollary, policy activism, are unwarranted and counterproductive” in the face of global climate change.

3. Asked about the source of that statistic, Allen said ...
He said the cap-and-trade plan would cost Americans an average $200 to $260 per month. Asked about the source of that statistic, Allen said "various studies from MIT, whatever studies you have, Congressional Budget Office, there's plenty of studies and there's a range of costs."
