White House Explains Transport-Energy Future

Posted by Soulskill on from the get-a-bike dept.

blair1q writes "Today on the White House Blog, the President (ok, his staff) released an infographic showing various facts about transportation energy, and how current gas prices need not be so worrisome. Highlights include rapidly increasing domestic production and rapidly decreasing prices for electric-car batteries, requesting Congress to shift tax breaks from oil producers to wind/solar/geothermal energy producers, and increasing domestic oil production (yes, there's a conflict there)."

  1. Lower Taxes & Cut Regulations. Poison the Eart by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If Obama's energy strategy doesn't involve tax handouts to the oil companies and shortsighted environmental rules then I don't support it.

    Of course, I'm retarded so I was probably going to vote for a Republican anyway...

    Yeah then rich people who live close enough to their employers can get more tax credits. And the poor who drive to work, if they are lucky enough to have a job, can pay for you, asshat.

    Hey don't let facts get in the way of a good liberal rant. If you backup their claims with facts they will look dumb and uneducated. Thus hurt their primary claim that I am liberal because I am smarter then the conservatives.

    if you didn't like this post try parsing it like this (I am a bit out of practice on my regular expressions).
    s/liberal/OTHERGUY/g
    s/conservatives/liberal/g
    s/OTHERGUY/conservatives/g
