Simply put, it's a values issue.

The irrational position of the US Chamber of Commerce should cause member companies to rethink their position within the organization. PG&E, PNM Energy, Apple, and Exelon Energy have already quit the Chamber, rather than continuing to support an organization which is so out of touch with reality.

Ultimately, companies must ask themselves - is it worth my company's reputation and brand to stand on the wrong side of science and history?
