Nick Surgey hopes that the recent attention to climate change has created a tipping point. Surgey is research director for the Center for Media and Democracy, a group tracking ALEC that in 2011 revealed much of the group’s agenda by releasing its library of model legislation — boilerplate bills co-written by lobbyists that state-level legislators present as their own. “It seems to me that everything that happened over the last few weeks — the UN talks, the climate protest in New York — has amounted to a big shift,” Surgey told BillMoyers. “It’s not exactly new that ALEC has been denying the existence of climate change or pushing policies the make it impossible to take action on carbon. But what is new is that we’ve reached this tipping point that any companies that are concerned about brand damage are deciding that it’s not worth risking the ongoing damage to their reputation through ongoing participation in ALEC.”
