Senator Alexander’s views on renewable energy were well illustrated by a Photoshopped poster he circulated of a windmill towering above the University of Tennessee “Vols” football stadium, which is considered sacred ground by most(but not all) Tennesseans. Our next governor will likely be Bill Haslam, owner of the Pilot Oil Company, but at least he carries E85 and biodiesel at all his new fuel stations.
