What President has done more than Obama to reduce our dependence on foreign oil & what did they do?
$8 billion in loan guarantees to build new new nuclear power plants.
Approved new oil and gas drilling off Virginia’s coast and in other parts of the mid- and south Atlantic, in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and in waters off Alaska.
$2 billion to fund the development of renewable energy manufacturing – specifically focused on the creation of new plants or retooling current plants to create materials in support of the renewable energy and alternative transportation economies.
$16.8 billion in direct spending for renewable energy and efficiency programs over the next 10 years.
$2.5 billion for research and development of new renewable and efficiency technologies.
$1.6 billion of new clean energy renewable bonds to finance wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower, landfill gas, marine renewable, and trash combustion facilities
Everything I listed is easy to verify.
Carter tried… but couldn’t get anything through. Obama is actually accomplishing the task. This will stimulate jobs, the economy, and help us end our dependence on foreign oil.
