The major coal-powered utility American Electric Power spent $4.6 million to lobby Congress in the first six months of the year, $1.3 million more than it did over the same period last year. By contrast, "I don't think you can see the renewable-energy lobby compete on a dollar-by-dollar basis with the fossil-fuel and coal lobby," says Mataczynski...
