RICHARDSON URGES BUSH TO PASS ENERGY PLAN

For two years this socialist had the opportunity to do something about our nation's energy inadequacies, but did nothing. He was too busy planning his next move into politics and the goal was surprising simple: run for governor of New Mexico

He knew what was happening to the generating and transmission facilites: they were sold to a foreign corporation. He also knew what was happening to the big chunk of the utility bills that went to the government. This non-generating and transmission portion of your utility bill is almost half of your monthly cost.

The Los Alamos Laboratories scandal was another inept chapter in the life of this globalist.

If he wasn't the governor of New Mexico chances are he'd be tapped by Arnold as part of his Kalifornica team.

nuclear and coal subsidies, the drilling in Alaska.

Why are these unecessary items in an "energy" bill?

[fishtank]

Richardson said: "The utilities should pay for it, but eventually it's going to be passed down to the consumer."

Another bit of wisdom from Richardson the dope.

This bozos' boss had 8 years to address it and nothing was done. The whole reason for Mrs. Clinton blasting Bush within hours after the blackout is clear indication they wanted to deflect their 8 years of errors and incompetence.

Presently, has she voted to accept the bill in the Senate that the current adminstration put together, or is she stonewalling?

The legacy continues.

I'm hoping you forgot to put your (/sarcasm> tag on your response.

[arichtaxpayer]

This Administration has to get out there and be seen--fight back and point out the faults of the previous administration. They seem to just sit back and take it!

[So Cal Rocket]

And also point out that it is the Dems in Congress that have been delaying the Energy Bill with parliamentary tactics.

That was scarcasm? (/scarcasm>

When I moved to NM in 1980 there was an ongoing plan to build a power line from the Four Corners to the Santa Fe area. After more than 20 years of lawsuits against building the line, the power company gave up. Richardson was EngSec during this time. He gave no support to building such lines.

Perhaps "Power Line Infrastucture" is important enough that some bureaucrat will invoke the Patriot Act and force these lines to be allowed. It's for The Children.

The incompetent Richards has no credibility. He is responsible for more than one mess. I just wish the media would stop hanging on to his every word.

[taxed2death]

I say we do absolutely nothing to the grid.

As a conservative Republican, it's much more important that Bush piss away 15 BILLION dollars on Africa / AIDS.

[biblewonk]

I sure the energy bill includes the PTC for windmills.

[ConservativeMan55]

I completely agree. They should defend themselves.

[Sangria]

I agree. He and his Boss, Clinton, were in the White House for 8 years and didn't do anything, so he can just shut the heck up as far as I am concerned.

You forget, He spent much of his time helping Monica with career advice..

These Clinton admin hacks sure know how to talk. Talk, talk, talk. Yep, talking is their strong point allright. Good thing the adults are in charge now, because they will actually DO SOMETHING about our problems.
