Drilling for an Answer
Will Someone Defend the Energy Bill?
By Matt Singer, 5-02-05
Looking around blogs today, it is rather tough to find support for Bush's energy bill. Who likes it?
- Not Dave Budge who thinks the markets can solve.
- Not Rich Lowry who thinks the energy bill ignores the markets and represents a principled attempt to stick it to enviros.
- Not Ezra Klein, a liberal who has offered to "kill the goddamn caribou" himself if the bill contained provisions worth adopting.
- Not John Cole, who thinks that a reasonable bill would include domestic drilling and wacky things like conservation and CAFE standards.
- Not The Economist, which views the bill as a bloated, ineffective mess.
