Despite that President Obama made Cap and Trade and other green policy plans a focal point of his early days in office -- not to mention his campaign for president -- the White House has quietly scrubbed from its official website many of Obama's promises and green initiatives. I guess the era of Obama really is "change you can believe in"?
Especially interesting it the sudden disappearance of Obama's plan to commit $150 billion on clean energy research and development.
In 2008 as Obama was preparing to take office he featured on his "Office of the President Elect" website a pledge to spend $150 billion on energy R & D. As of today, that pledge is still there.
This policy was a major plank in his green initiatives plan and was featured on the White House website until July but just short of the two year point in his term this pledge has vanished from the White House website.
Also gone is any clear pledge to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions via his formerly touted cap and trade legislative efforts. For instance, the section once titled "Closing the Carbon Loophole and Cracking Down on Polluters" is now vanished down the memory hole...

They can't just speak things into being.
What a great observation.
With $150 billion one can buy a lot of bribes.
Sham scam. Wow.
The list, ping
Anybody know what happened to all those new nuclear power plants he was promsing?
Bump!
Seems to be good news, unless they replace them with bigger and more extreme AGW stuff.
Actually, if we had an ethical government (and honest scientists!), I would not mind researching new energy technology. We will eventually run out of fossil fuels. But WRT corruption, we can't always trust the GOP either.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Hum. I wonder if Miskoczi’s work has finally been recognized buy the White Houses science adviser? Golly, you might just thin they noticed CO2 is irrelevant in the Earhs climate?
Well now. Who would have thought that?
I heard he took back all the Obamacare promises also.
Two or three thoughts: Things he’s already done (legally or illegally), stuff that the Senate refused to pass, and perhaps most importantly - the fact that the Democrats are trying to hide their extremist agenda under the rug until the mid-term elections are over.
Thanks.
New Plan,....Ocean Acidification.....caused by CO2.
The irony being that from what I understand, the damage from "ocean acidification" occurs when the concentration of H+ ions relative to CO3-- ions gets too high. Since the normal ratio exceeds 2:1, one could add an unlimited quantity of H2CO3 to the ocean without making the ratio any worse.
