Republicans on the Anti-Energy Reform Warpath for 2010Listening to Rush and Hannity and other talking heads, the talk is the same: cap and tax; it's cold out so forget about global warming?; it's just nature's cycle, man has nothing to do with it; drill, drill, drill - the supply of oil is endless.
This unfortunate headline caught my eye in today's GreenWire: Political Fallout of Vote for Climate Bill Tested in House Race in N.M. Turns out a well known Republican politician is preparing to try to take his seat back in the House of Reps--by focusing squarely on the fact that his opponent, Democratic incumbent Harry Teague voted for the climate bill. As per usual, he's falsely casting the bill as nothing but a giant tax. The worrisome thing is that this tactic appears to be spreading across the country.
Funny thing is, what if they are wrong? Mother Earth cleans us out. Nothing to risk in reducing, reusing, recycling, going green... Only thing to risk is less bucks in the wallets of several large companies - which in turn means less money in the pockets of many politicos.
