Rick Perry

The governor of Texas, Rick Perry, recently "accused federal environmental protection officials of 'actively working to do more economic harm' to the state through potential regulation of carbon emissions linked to climate change," according to the Houston Chronicle.

This is because he has his hand in so many energy-producing pockets that he would stand to lose part of his growing personal fortune. He wants companies to worry about their emissions and the government to stay out of it. That way, companies can continue to cut corners and make decisions based on economic want and not the good of all.

Figures.
