The usual BS
Despite that I am in a great mood, the republican party has once again shown why they are the party of “No.” Spewing the usual bullshit of excuses while at a meeting with president Obama at the White House on energy reform. It is so ridiculous how much they care about the big corporation interests and are unwilling to move forward on an issue that without question would be an enormous benefit for the entire country. During the meeting they flat out said no cap and trade mechanism will pass the senate, not even slightly working on a negotiation, just refusal, an absolute no. If there is no cap and trade, then fine, put in a carbon tax, SOMETHING to spur the innovation and growth of the clean energy sector.
I find the move that Senator Lindsey Graham did completely jacked-up too. He put in so much time to work on an energy and climate bill that would be able to get bi-partisan support and then pulled out and has since refused to support a piece of legislation he helped create. All because of politics. From my understanding he believes that the deep water horizon situation in the Gulf Coast makes it MORE difficult to pass clean energy legislation, not easier. Only because he wants more off-shore drilling because apparently the whole numbers game doesn’t logically fit into his thought process, which I will explain a bit further in the post. (more…)
