Yeah, that Harry Reid is about as big of a dysfunctional POS as Obama.Oldtimer said:Steve said:what.. you are surprised that private industry is pushing forward despite your buddy Obama sitting on the fence like a post turtle.
I'm glad something is being done.. I only wish Congress had passed a long term energy/enviormental bill years ago- and more of these countries would already be doing this... Which could have also included more stimulus input with money and taxbreaks put into building infrastructure (roads, railroads, pipelines, etc...)
But again- the dysfunctional Congress has not been able to act on any of these type long term laws.....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-burnett/us-energy-policy_b_4190320.htmlEvery so often, President Obama talks about energy policy. During this year's State of the Union address,
blah blah blah..
Nonetheless, little happened.
In many ways, the president's energy policy has mirrored his handling of the Syrian civil war.
During the past five years, the White House had three domestic policy objectives: the economic recovery, jobs, and homeland security. On other important domestic issues -- immigration reform, gun safety, education, infrastructure repair, and so forth -- the Administration has not sponsored a major initiative. To paraphrase Mark Danner, "U.S. energy policy has been a series of ill-advised, ad hoc, and often improvised words and actions."
But the most important thing the president should do is propose a real bridge to the future.
The White House needs to provide real leadership and address the tough questions at the heart of a responsible energy policy.
