Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) maps out a national energy policy which unburdens the American people of foreign oil dependency. The plan helps citizens pay their utility bills and cope with the economic windfall of dramatically higher utility costs.

Bush vs The Enviroment

In remarks from a recent interview, former President Jimmy Carter suggested the current Administration, adding to some of the most traumatic policies ever visited upon the United States, is about to make the worst mistake in the history of the environment.
As Senator Clinton explained, "Loosening environmental standards or opening up a new oil field or two is not going to offset this seismic shift. Her plan redirects the hidden "tax" that Americans are already paying to OPEC and the oil companies, but lasts only long enough to kick-start the alternative energy market that we all know is out there, she explained. Her plan unburdens the American people of foreign oil dependence, investing a portion of the profits into the U.S. energy future, instead of regimes we would never choose to subsidize.

By contrast, the Bush Administration wants to turn over decommissioned military bases to oil companies for use as refineries and open up drilling in Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge. President Carter termed the refuge one of “the most wonderful areas on Earth.”

Behind the scenes, where most real policy change occurs, the Bush Administration has allowed more than 400 rollbacks of major environmental mandates. This new regime is severely weakening the protection of our nation’s air, water, public land and wildlife.
