Apple leaves U.S. Chamber
This week, Apple will be added to the list of businesses that have left the U.S. Chamber of Commerce due to the business group’s approach to climate policy.
The Chamber is asking the Environmental Protection Agency to hold a formal, “on-the-record” hearing giving the Chamber and other groups an opportunity to question EPA witnesses on the validity of their rulings, a trail some are calling the “Scopes Monkey Trial of the 21st century”
Last week Nike resigned from it’s board membership and in September PG&E, Exeoln, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. all resigned their membership.
In a statement made to the press Apple said, that they “strongly object to the Chamber’s recent comments opposition the EPA’s effort to limit greenhouse gases,” the statement said. “Apple supports regulating greenhouse gas emissions, and it is frustrating to find the Chamber at odds with us in this effort.”
