Statement

Issues: Energy Elections

Today, Ranking Member Henry A. Waxman released a statement in response to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's announcement of his energy policies:

"Mitt Romney's plan is just more of the same oil-above-all agenda. He wants to protect billions in subsidies for oil companies while raising taxes on clean renewable energy. The Romney plan takes us in the wrong direction by increasing our dependence on oil, ignoring the reality of climate change, and attacking commonsense environmental protections and successful clean energy programs. It shows as much ignorance of science as Todd Akin's understanding of pregnancy."
