Welcome to the Federal Government of the United States, the place where good policy goes to die by the pen of one man, the President of the United States. White House economic advisor Allan Hubbard stated yesterday : "it appears Congress may intend to produce a bill the President cannot sign.".
At Issue: US states must make at least 15% of their electricity from renewable sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal, by the year 2020.
FIFTEEN Friggin’ percent people!
If we assumed that every state was starting at 0% now (which would be a faulty assumption), it’s only 15 PERCENT in thirteen years.
