America's great polluting industries have been creating fake grassroots groups (astroturf, in you're new to the lingo) to give their viewpoint a folksy community quality for some time. Think Progress has another one to watch out for, the Iowa Energy Forum.
Financed by the American Petroleum Institute provides at least part of the funding, according to their own rhetoric the Iowa Energy Forum is "a growing community of concerned citizens committed to two goals: achieving energy security for our country and holding our elected officials accountable for shaping energy policies."
Just in time for the politicos vying for those Iowa Caucus votes. Yes, those polticos urging "drill, drill, drill" and a complete obliteration of the EPA.
