This article outlines the move that NY Gov. David Paterson made the week, in which he announced he would reconsider taxing power plants and other energy organizations proportionate to the amount of greenhouse gases they emit into the atmosphere.
This, of course, outraged environmental advocacy groups. They not only think this sends the wrong message to the Obama administration in Washington, but also believe that the energy industry has donated much money to the Paterson's campaign who in turn is now giving the undustry what it wants.
This is a well-written article in which both sides of the issue are presented. However, there are more dissenting opinions presented than there are supportive ones, which might show a sign of bias. However, this could also just mean that there are more people who do not support Paterson's move than there are people who do.
