Southern Company and cap n' trade lobbying

Environmental super lobbyist Neill Herring called my attention to this piece by The Center for Public Integrity breaking down lobbying efforts on last week's climate change legislation:

With 63 lobbyists, the Atlanta-based energy giant had nearly twice as many climate lobbyists as any other company or organization, according to registration statements filed with the Senate Office of Public Records for the first quarter of 2009. (The second quarter filings won’t be available for a few weeks.) Eleven of Southern’s climate representatives were in-house, while the rest came from a dozen different lobbying shops.
