Obama talks climate change at fundraiser; Keystone still a pipe dream for many
source: wikimedia commonsAs Obama campaigns in California to his liberal base, European companies are flocking to the U.S. to tap into our wealth of natural gas. He’s still pimping his green energy future, still dithering on the Keystone pipeline that has been given the go-ahead by everyone in his cabinet, and taking credit for reducing “carbon emissions” in the U.S. (by shuttering coal-fired power plants and making it impossible to open new ones). All at the expense of the economy and jobs. So how much to have dinner with Obama? $34,200 a head. From ABCNews:
In the first fundraisers he’s attended since winning re-election, President Obama discussed climate change with California donors while opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline protested outside of one of the events.
“Despite a very aggressive agenda on the other side to block action, we’ve been able to double fuel efficiency standards on cars. We’ve been able to take mercury out of our air. We have been able to reduce carbon emissions in this country and have made not only this a healthier place to live, but have also begun to address in a serious way one of the biggest challenges of our time, and that is the challenge of climate change,” the president said at the first of two San Francisco fundraisers Wednesday night.
