No matter what President Obama does to focus America’s attention on the benefits of alternative energy, the sad truth is that the Tea Party House Republicans’ shameless obstruction on behalf of the Koch Brothers and Co. is blocking America from taking the lead in towards renewable energy and away from planet-killing fossil fuels.
Unbeknown to many Americans, Pres. Obama’s this year proposed a budget that included a proposal to make America’s energy grid as efficient as Germany’s, with 80% of energy by the year 2035 powered by renewable energy.
Of course, that budget was declared dead on arrival by Republicans in Congress. Adding insult to injury, Paul Ryan produced his own budget that call for massive cuts to renewable energy investment and called wind and solar energy “uncompetitive alternatives.”
I would keep going, but this excellent video by Thom Hartmann tells you everything that you need to know abut their epic battle on behalf of dirty fossil fuels.
Please watch the video (BELOW), let us know your thoughts in the comments section, and share this and other related articles on social media forms so that everyone will know the truth about the Republican Party’s war on renewable energies on behalf of the Koch Brothers and Co.
