I’m not conversant enough in the issues to comment one way or the other, but I thought that the Cato Institute was generally regarded as being a Republican (specifically, Koch Brothers, notwithstanding the silly recent lawsuit) mouthpiece, and very much under the sway of big industry. Am I wrong in this? Could somebody more up to speed on these things fill me in?
Edit - particularly when said CATO article is coming from Patrick Michaels, who admits that he receives 40% of his funding from the oil industry?
