United States' New Energy Economy Hindered by Significant Division Between the Old and the New
The politics around progressive energy policy in the United States are proving to be a tricky game, and one that doesn't appear that it will be sorted out anytime in the near future.

A recently leaked Republican energy strategy document shows there is little room for agreement between the two parties regarding energy regulations already set in place, let alone coming together on a comprehensive federal policy addressing climate change and energy production.

Since winning a majority in the House of Representatives last November, the Republicans (GOP) have set their sights on revoking environmental regulations and development of alternative energy technologies. If there was any doubt about the party's position, this document erases it.

1. Our corporate enemies are trying to strangle rooftop solar in favor of massive projects they control
so that we cannot generate our own power without their permission and extortion. Every house and building in the USA should have solar on the roof where the sun shines often enough, subsidized by the saving to the government of slashing the parasite military.
