re: #129 Gus

It’ll be the fast-tracking of the pipepline permits for the Southern XL line. Which I’m fine with. The way to get us off oil is not to restrict the amount being produced, it’s to end subsidies for oil production and increase them for alternative energy— as well as just massive infrastructure spending.

I don’t think that the GOP will actually let Obama do either of the last two, but at least he’s trying. Hopefully the GOP’s internal troubles will sap its political force enough to get them out of the way, but that’s far from a sure thing in this demon-haunted nation.
