Pelosi: More Hot Air from the Bush AdministrationWashington, D.C. – House “The world needs decisive action to prevent global warming; instead the Bush Administration keeps offering the American people more hot air. “Rather than stepping forward with bold ideas to take on the challenge of climate change, Bush Administration officials repackaged their research and development plans and presented them to the House Science Committee as a new strategic plan. There are precious few new ideas in this ‘strategic plan,’ and no new funding. More importantly, never-ending research isn’t enough – we need strong policies to get new technologies to the marketplace and reduce global warming pollution. “Even as the Bush Administration put forward its warmed-over plans to limit its climate activities to research and development, the Congressional Budget Office issued a report concluding that relying exclusively on R&D is insufficient and will increase the cost of reducing greenhouse gas emission in the long run.” |
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ” Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi |
