If that is what Hastings is doing then it’s a good political tactic.

Attack Obama on not doing his job well enough. Most people won’t look hard at the attack to see if it is legitimate or false. But the “He’s not doing his job” will stick.

OTOH, Hastings is from the state of Washington. Is he perhaps speaking up for renewable interests in his state (or the western region)?

Some deeper level reporting might clear this up….

Isn’t that clever. Your party is doing all it can to destroy clean energy so you attack the Administration for not going faster.

Yeah, that’s coherent.

i agree that there are plenty of underutilized places in the urban environment where we can put solar — but think that we also need these utility-scale projects as well. getting off fossil fuels fast is needed.

& i know we’ve covered the story in that second link, at least, here on cleantechnica as well as the benefits of small-scale and decentralized solar a number of times

Seems like I read a version of this somewhere that made Hastings efforts seem more of a Trojan horse for natural gas and other extraction activities.

Part of the ‘screw regulations – Drill Now!’ program.

Thanks. That clarifies it a bit… or as much as we can expect clarity from the GOP!

thanks for the quick response. yeah, maybe i should have put this in context better. added this link to the first sentence of the first paragraph and added an extra line there and at the end of the second paragraph.
