Mitt Romney’s claim that we can be energy independent by 2020 relies on using oil, and coal, which is not the way to energy independence.
- Asked if the United States could ever reach energy independence, Alex Flint, a nuclear energy industry official and former top Senate GOP aide, replied that such a plan wouldn’t rely so heavily on oil.
- Romney’s efforts to encourage a sweeping expansion of U.S. offshore oil production would expose him to the same set of challenges faced by Obama, who has been president amid record increases in domestic oil and gas production despite fallout from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster…The environmental community also would be itching to fight Romney. As they proved during the George W. Bush administration, greens often are most effective when forced to play defense. “The energy independence plan that truly matters is the one that makes us independent of dirty energy sources that are destroying our health and our planet. And the Romney energy plan makes no progress toward that goal,” said Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, a green group that has endorsed Obama’s reelection. “His plan is of, by and for his Big Oil buddies.”
America there are no energy bills from the right. if you need confirmation look no further than the words spoken by Romney "my plan is to change nothing".
why would they want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs? big oil, coal all the lung killing, choking, stagnant moving of the country, "nothing changes" they will still be doing us whatever style they choose. recognize
green is for go so let's leave the stuck in the mud only benefiting the rich policies the ROMYAN, and really move the country and not their bank acct, the one's we have partial knowledge of.
