Romney wants to give the power to explore and drill...sm


Posted: Aug 23, 2012

on federal lands to individual states rather than the federal government.  He also wants to repeal the Clean Air Act.  Thoughts?

Power to the states? YES. I will have to read up more - on Clean Air act before I opine.

Our energy problems will never be solved by policies that that keep us tied to finite, nonrenewable resources. We have been at this energy game for more than 40 years now with little improvement - largely because of fat cat politicians who follow the money - and we can look forward to another 40 years of energy dependence and policy impasse if Romney gets the chance to implement the retrograde practices described in his energy policy.

If he thinks we have the drive and intelligence to be energy-independent by 2020, it begs the question: What have we been waiting for? The answer is this: There is little impetus to change a broken system when it is so profitable for those at the top of the corporate food chain - and Romney's retrograde policies affirm this fact.

It appears Romney has little faith in the bounty of America's intelligentsia and our talent to innovate and develop cutting-edge technologies. What a profound waste of resources THAT is.

Sounds like a viral email to me - nm

Drill Baby Drill? SmApr 29, 2010
Accidents like what is now happening in the Gulf of Mexico are why we need to be very cautious about where we drill for oil.  A spill at one oil rig out of thousands in this area is all it takes to have a major environmental disaster.  The shrimp, oyster, fishing industry in the entire gulf area will be severely affected for years to come. ...

I Will Give Romney This...Aug 31, 2012
He truly seems like a very, very loving family man.  He seemed much more humanized to me tonight than he's been before.  I even thought there was a moment during his speech when he was on the verge of crying, which, to me, was genuine.     I think it hurt him that the nice video introduction was later followed by Clint Eastwood's appearance....that part will make a lot of people forget what they just watched on the video montage!    Mitt Romney has a lov ...

Identify the ways in which the imposition and intrusion of the federal government with regard to the states now differs from that of England's relationship with the colonies at the time of the American Revolution.

What Do You Do When The Power Is Out?Jan 24, 2012
I always want a place with a wood burning stove, something for heat other then power, comes in very handy and is the main source of heat at this time.At this time I have enough gadgets and power for them to most likely last a week, and there are ways to cook, lighting, food, water stays on etc... so it is mostly an entertainment issue when the power goes out and with all these gadgets these days it is easier to stay entertained.

The Power To Say NO Is Huge.Nov 01, 2010
As few as 41 senators, which could represent as little as 12.3% of the U.S. population, can make a filibuster happen.  The Republicans have been using the filibuster continually, even filibustering bills they previously were FOR, just because they believe it makes Dems look bad.  The Republicans currently have 41 senators and block everything.  The Democrats have 57 senators, so by the rules they cannot override the Republican obstructionism.   ...

Palin Star Power Must Be Aug 13, 2012
