Reaction to the president’s Oval Office speech seems largely negative. I agree — it was a wasted opportunity; a talk that lacked specific and clear action steps. A speech heavy on prayer and light on how we progress from here, even as the oil still gushes. I nearly cried when he used similar language to describe energy proposals (re “good ideas from both sides”) as was used during the painful health care debate. (We can’t go through that again!) And asking Congress to pass real energy reforms — a body seemingly incapable of bold action on nearly any subject, never mind one as fraught as fossil fuels — is like asking BP to provide an accurate flow rate. Ain’t gonna happen.
At least the “small” people will get some money out of them.
