Has the responsibility for energy issues been assigned elsewhere?

Hopefully to the people of America, where it belongs.

Hey, how about this? You’re on a CONSERVATIVE site, ever think that maybe the market can handle many of these issues? If compact flourescent bulbs are better, then consumers will buy them. If windmills make sense, they’ll be built, etc.

You seem to imply that this nazi/marxist committee was the only one addressing anything at all regarding energy issues. Please don’t say you actually believe the gw bull*hit.

What do you mean the rest of the industralized world is paying a lot of attention to these issues? The U.S. is probably the most suffocated, regulated industrialized nation on the planet. Who is paying attention? China? Japan? No

Here’s a link for you.

Congressman Webster (R) (Grayson (D) Replacement) is being placed on Rules Committee and the Judiciary while my Congresswoman Sandy Adams (R) (Kosmas (D) Replacement) is being place on the Science and Technology and Space Committee as well as the Judiciary.

Hopefully they can help clean up all that muck as well!

I give ZERO credit to the RNC/GOP for this... This is the START of the PEOPLE taking back our Congress... the RNC/GOP is still dead IMHO ! If the RNC/GOP wants to be relevent at all in 2012 they have a LOT more work to do.
