Political Factoid
The 2012 GOP energy plan
announced by GOP presidential
candidate Mitt Romney focused
on:
- Domestic, non-renewable fossil fuels
like oil, gas and coal
- Turning over control of federal lands
to the individual states*
- The most aggressive "drill-baby-drill"
offshore program ever imagined
- Largely abandoning renewable wind
and solar energy**
* |
with developers benefiting from bidding wars
between states, e.g., for least regulation
|
** |
as exploitation of non-renewable resources
is more profitable with the GOP tax code
