Romney Checks In (4.00 / 6)

"[Romney] will allow the wind credit to expire, end the stimulus boondoggles and create a level playing field on which all sources of energy can compete on their merits," a spokesperson for the Romney campaign told the Des Moines Register.
....
"We should not be in the business of steering investment toward particular politically favored approaches," Romney notes on his campaign website. "That is a recipe for both time and money wasted on projects that do not bring us dividends. The failure of wind mills and solar plants to become economically viable or make a significant contribution to our energy supply is a prime example."

Crazy Horse:

"We should not be in the business of steering investment toward particular politically favored approaches,"

like we republicans have been doing for fossil fuels and nuclear for decades, absolutely. that's not political favourisation, it's business.

well, as a (mostly) proud Democrat, I will have to admit that we are (almost) as guilty as the Republicans in this regard.
