ace...the oil industry contributions of over $100 million (mostly to repubs) over the last seven years gave them unfettered access to write their own regulations to the Clean Air Act (that will save them $billions while delaying existing regulatory controls over GHG emissions in power plants) and to write their own tax relief provisions in the administration's national energy plan.(including relief from $10 billion in royalty payments). In both cases, the final Bush/Cheney energy plan is almost word-for-word from the API recommendations.

Not a bad return on their investment of $100 million in political contributions.

If you like how that works..thats fine.

I think it stinks like a cow fart!
