Ballsy Reid Finding His Inner Dirty: Lets Hope Makes A Green Jobs Bill and scrap Cap&Trade For Cap & Dividend

[kovert]

Ol' Dirty has thrown down the gauntlet.

The Repubs will have a harder time (http://democrats.senate.gov/journal/entry.cfm?id=322355& - broken link) claiming lack of bipartisanship.

Man, I'm sure Ol' Dirty has been giving the GOP many sleepless nights.

Man, what has gotten into Ol' Dirty lately.

I've never seen such defiance in a Dem in a long time.

Is the Grayson epidemic spreading?

These are exactly the types of innovation that we should have been focusing on for years. They should be built here too. China is surpassing us in solar panel production and it would be really screwed up if these things were manufactured outside of the USA.

Yeah, Ol' Dirty been asleep at the wheel.

"Instead, five years after federal land managers opened up stretches of the Southwest to developers, vast tracts still sit idle.

At a time when the nation drills ever deeper for oil off its shores even as it tries to diversify its energy supply, the federal government has, so far, failed to use the land it already has – some of the world's best for solar – to produce renewable electricity.


Nowhere is this more evident than in Nevada, where a Goldman Sachs & Co. subsidiary with no solar background has claims with the BLM on nearly half the land for which applications have been filed, but no firm plan for any of the sites."
