Tennessee withdraws from Wal-Mart energy audit program

AP:

“We’re supportive of Wal-Mart’s broader initiative,” Will Pinkston, senior adviser to Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen, said in an e-mail. “But we’ve had a couple of false starts that probably were unique to Tennessee, and we’ve run into some unrelated issues that frankly complicated things.” Pinkston did not elaborate on those issues.

Anybody know what's up with this? Sounds like a Wal*Mart PR stunt gone sour.

UPDATE: Sean Braisted speculates on what this is all about, citing a Nashville Scene article re. some inside hardball, which may or may not be related.
