No I am retired. I am a conservative not Republican, I consider them almost as bad. I am for common sense, the common sense that tells me we must free ourselves from most if not all foreign oil. Then the rest of the world can kill themselves over it.
The bill you refer to that the republicans were blocking contained little about renewable energy an a whole lot of everything else. It's my opinion the Democrats have stuffed the bill with stuff that has no place in an energy bill knowing the Republicans wouldn't go for it, then very publicly cry "obstructionism"

WHAT DOES ANY OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY?
Please go read for yourself. The bills I have been posting that were killed in committee by the Democrat leadership were straight forward and NOT full of garbage, just renewable energy. I am simply highlighting the political games all the nitwits in Washington are playing with our futures. This is the exact reason that 35 years after the first oil crisis Congress is still playing political games and were left holding our backside waiting for them to do something....anything.
In all honesty, yes I don't like the Washington Democrats, they are phony's, say one thing and do exactly the opposite, the Republicans are almost as bad at least they don't try to fool folks by pretending to care with great fanfare.
