YDB Daily Crap: Republicans Back Polluter Industry
Congress finally passed an energy bill, one weakened considerably by Republican capitulation to their buddies in the oil industry. From the NYT:
"The oil industry conducted its own campaign of opposition to the tax provisions, arguing that it would impose burdens on the industry when it needed all the resources it had to find and develop new sources of energy."
How's that development of new sources of energy coming along?
We'll never have more progressive energy plans until we replace the Bush/Cheney Big Oil Presidency with someone more progressive.
