<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for A look at Mitt Romney’s environmental platform and record]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by hikerreese http://www.grist.org/article/romney_factsheet/ Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:10:00 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/romney_factsheet/1 sounds like Bush

Remember when W said the US was addicted to oil but then went on to commit no change whatsoever.  Romney's committed to drill in the ANWR though.  That fixes things.

the only good thing about Mitt is that he would easier to defeat than Giuliani.

If anybody's wondering about his animal welfare views, this incident is telling:

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/specials/romney/ ...

"Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. He'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog.

Then Romney put his boys on notice: He would be making predetermined stops for gas, and that was it.

As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours.

As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management."

It is too bad that Mr. Romney is all talk and little action.  All of the candidates say they want better climate control regulations, but few are willing to back current proposed standards like the 2007 Energy Bill.  

While the Romneys of the world may come and go, global warming is here to stay until the proper regulations are passed by the Federal Government.  There is still time to learn more about CAFE and RES standards and how fuel and energy upgrades will benefit the American economy and environment.  Go to http://energybill2007.us to sign the petition for better climate control!

Mitt Romney can really divide people on environmental issues, but how does he fare against his Republican opponents? The creative do-gooders at TitanGreens.com had a little fun with this idea in the 2008 Climate Cup tournament. Which candidate survives the high-stakes tourney?
