Will Romney hire Obama's climate-change guru Holdren?
Hot Air ^ | Oct 15, 2011 | Ed Morrissey

This week, however, the blog Moonbattery found a very interesting memo from Romney's office in 2005 announcing tough new regulations on emissions ...

Governor Mitt Romney today announced that Massachusetts will take another major step in meeting its commitment to protecting air quality when strict state limitations on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants take effect on January 1, 2006.

In other words, the Romney administration in 2005 essentially did what Barack Obama's EPA wants to do now. He imposed CO2 emission caps - the "toughest in the nation" - in an effort to curtail traditional energy production. Not only did Romney impose these costly new regulations, he then imposed price caps to keep power companies from passing the cost along to the consumer. As we have seen in RomneyCare, regulation and price controls eventually drive businesses into bankruptcy or relocation.

“And who advised Romney on these regulations? Why, none other than Obama’s chief science adviser, John Holdren”

Yet another reason I don’t believe I can vote for him - even in the General election...

Thanks, Lazlo. I chuckle when I remember her dumb blonde routine on that show. And the go-go dancing.

We would not miss Laugh-In at our house. It was just too funny.

Sock it to ME?

I spend most of my time in a different era. I live like it is 1971 every day of my life. Who knows why?

This is what I listen to in my factory 8 track player in my 1969 Vista Cruiser on my ride home from work during the Summer.

I think if Dumbney really believes that CO2 is a pollutant, he should stop exhaling. Just sayin.

Might as well keep Obama as to elect a white RINO Obama.

Then drop Rick Perry because he'll fold like a cheap suit if he thinks regulating carbon will buy him anything.

Interesting that Romney- A MORMON, who believes in very large families, is hot to ‘control energy production’.

What kind of future energy usage will those large MORMON families require?

Will Any of them realize that Romney was one of the architects of such policies???

I cannot vote for Mitt under any circumstances.
