Harvard: energetic!

When I wrote earlier this year on The Big Con about research institutes at universities who are actually outposts for industry interests, I thought I'd found quite a score when I discovered one at so distinguished a university as Tufts. More distinguished universities than that wouldn't dare so prostitute themselves, right?

Now I've just learned about the Harvard Electricity Policy Group - find a list of its eminently disinterested funders here - and their "thirty-one reports supporting energy deregulation in California. HEPG research director William Hogan explicitly advised the state to adopt the 'Enron model.'"
