"In a breathtaking surrender of America's energy future to Big Oil profiteers, Romney revives the maniacal fervor of the "drill, baby, drill" crowd, pushes "fracking" with a vengeance, runs the filthy Keystone XL pipeline right through the heart of America, zeros-out federal tax credits for wind and solar alternatives to oil, and maintains the $4-billion-a-year subsidy for oil corporations — among other giveaways.
Then he doubles down on energy stupidity by undoing Teddy Roosevelt's logical decision that our national lands should be under the control of ... well, national policymakers. Instead, capitulating to industry's wildest dream, Romney would cede control over drilling and mining on nationally owned public land to the various states, most of which are run by industry-coddling, corporate-financed politicians. It's like asking a coyote to guard your last lamb chop!"
