Koch versus Solar

[RichardC]

Like some very wealthy people the charity is both a tax dodge and a cover for the awful things done to aquire the wealth. I'll bet that the Koch's give away a much lower proprtion of their wealth that the poor -- IRS data shows that the poor and middle classes are miuch more generous givers (as a proportion of income) than the rich. The Koch's giving for them is chump change and it can't possbily make up for the harm this family is doing to our planet. IMHO when the worst of the impacts of climate change are realized their names will be held in the highest contempt.

There have been a number of studies and reports on the breadth and implications of their activities, for some examples see:
