Senator Inhofe Refuses To Explain What He Wants From The Clean Energy Bill

Only one Republican member of the Environment and Public Works Committee made an appearance at day two of the clean energy legislation markup. Senator James Inhofe showed up to discuss why his Republican colleagues boycotted the previous day's session. Senator Arlen Specter asked Inhofe, "What is it that you want aside from the details specified in your letter?" Inhofe replied, "I don't have to answer that question. I have that in writing."

Wingers refuse to govern. They hate government but they want to be in the thick of it so they can draw a paycheck while not governing.

Does anyone else get the impression that Inhofe may be satan? Take, for instance, his utter contempt for the human race and it's continued survival on the planet... Then look at his head, especially the one on his official website. If his hair wasn't already fireproof, it'd burst into flames.

@gbhobson WHO'S A LIAR? CLIMATE CRIMINAL Exxon was caught funding a huge disinformation campaign about global warming. This is one of the reasons so many people don't understand the realities of global warming, or they are complicit or participating in the criminal disinformation scam.

@microflex22 What is really wrong with your comment is that kids would have to wear masks so as not to breathe in CO2. Concentrations in submarines can be as high as 8,000 ppm vs our atmosphere which is 385 ppm. In percentages, this amounts to 0.0385%, not even 4/100's of 1%, a very small number. It is proven in greenhouses, more CO2 = more plant growth and more efficient water usage! CO2 is not pollution!

[microflex22]

sure.......and the opposition to green energy is just a charade. Opposing something because the other side is for it. Give me a break.

Maybe when your grandchildren are wearing Co2 masks to go to school, and putting on sun screen to check the mail, you'll then change your mind.

IPCC and all the Al Gore slurpers need to just pick up their little cups of kool-aid and leave the planet.

"Global Warming" is nothing more than a fictional idea dreamed up by snake oil salesmen looking to make some easy money. Perpetrating fraud on a global scale has been their claim to fame, and they need to be held accountable for it.

Take your "Cap & Trade," OPC15 and "Green Agenda" and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

Send a clear message to Congress demanding clean energy and climate solutions at One Million Calls For Clean Energy. Google it now!

I would like to see nothing from any "Clean Energy Bill". If people want clean energy, they can we build and pay for it themselves.

If it was a bogus question, then it was a bogus reply. This was all postering and pandering for the cameras by Inhofe. Say what you mean, mean what you say and you'll never be misunderstood.

[mavrek47]

Senator Inhofe can be seen wearing a HUGE bandage on his chin due to ALL the excessive "Tea-Bagging" he's done lately with GOP dumb-shits.

RIP GOP!

@regretregret2

You are too stupid to argue with. It is on all the gas pumps in California. Regular gas will be minimum 77 cents per gallon more when cap and trade is law.

Are you always the last one to get the word.?

Part of that 10% who never gets the word?
