Proving Too Much

Planet Gore on National Review Online

So . . . they just did the wind and solar thing, dumping billions into alternative energy, again (after all, we’ve been subsidizing these dogs for decades to the tune of billions). Unless [Obama] would like to footnote this boast with an admission that these schemes remain on life support despite yet another taxpayer-funded infusion larded on just a couple of years ago, we now know we’ve checked that box. Congress, during Obama’s very few days of service (certainly in policy terms), already did that thing he insists we do now instead of the thing that would actually address a problem of transportation fuels — like opening prohibited areas to exploration and production of legitimate economy-driving energy sources.

That, my friends is progress. I’m even willing to not call it a flip-flop. We’ll just chalk it up to another little confusion about that 2005 bill. It seems we’ve got agreement that it’s time to head offshore and north to Alaska.
