Romney: Coal ‘not a four-letter word’ in Romney administration — Oil & gas exploration to be ‘dramatically accelerated’ | JunkScience.com

Romney: All Obama-era regulations to be reviewed — EPA Utility MACT ‘perfect example of a rule that makes no sense’ | JunkScience.com

Romney: Would impose a ‘regulatory cap of zero dollars’ — No additional regulatory costs at this time | JunkScience.com

Romney responded:

The federal government has become a sprawling and largely unaccountable bureaucracy. To rein it back in, I believe we need both strong presidential leadership and sensible reform. As President, I will appoint cabinet heads and regulators who understand the needs of the American people and who see their own role as to get Washington out of the way wherever possible. I will also return the power to makes law back to Congress, where it belongs. I will ensure that every major new regulation faces an up-or-down vote in Congress. And I will impose a regulatory cap of zero dollars: if an agency wants to impose a new rule that imposes new costs on the economy, it will need to find other regulations of equivalent cost to remove. Our economy simply cannot afford any additional regulatory costs at this time.

Climate change week: can Attenborough jnr's 24-hour climate change play make a difference? - Telegraph

Global warming and climate change were hot topics about three or four years
ago and they seem to have been replaced, among other things, by the
recession, unemployment and university fees. I think that Climate Week as a
whole will reawaken the debate.
