Comprehensive Energy Bill for the 21st Century

[The Dowager Mod]

how much revenue will these tax breaks cost the government every year?

That is why i voted against it.

It would have been nice if you had aired your concerns when the bill was opened for discussion instead of keeping your mouth shut, and then later voting against it.  Being a real-life member of the Green Party, one would have thought you would have been a natural supporter of the bill.   

Yet another tax break for big bussines disguised as an environmental bill.
It was going to pass no matter what i would have said so i saved my give a sh**t for more important things.

You could have proposed an amendment or an alternative bill if you were so unhappy with it.

What is the matter with you?  Nothing is inevitable in politics -this bill barely passed as it is.  The least you could have done, as I have said above, was to propose something to improve the bill, instead of keeping your mouth shut when it was opened for discussion, and then later throwing a tantrum about it after the fact.

So why is it that you joined the Green Party if you really don't give a damn about the environment or renewable energy -its namesake?  You're not much of a Green.

Did you even bother to read my post?

Sorry i'm more interested in financial security than hugging a tree.

What makes you say that she doesn't care about the environment?

It's possible to balance financial security with good environmental policies.  It's clear that she doesn't think this is good on either angle.  I don't think that means she doesn't care about the environment.

Eh, I`m a Green too, and I`m not sure how I would have voted on this. She`s definitely got a point.
But it`s definitely possible to change minds in the Senate, gurl. Just look at what happened with the TVA. For a long time I thought that was probably going to pass narrowly, in the end it didn`t get a single vote.

Unfortunately there were no votes to switch, and in the end it was not worth twisting arms over since some good will come of it either way.

He signed it, but you're right it's not showing up now.
