tom delay is a terrorist
i got this in an email (you can tell because it uses capital letters), but i want to pass it out because of some of the stuff it does. a) it gives out my tax money in ways that directly oppose the energy conservation and development of renewable energy principles on which i stand b) "relaxes the rules on
export of bomb-grade uranium"!!!!! and we're worried about iran? take a look at your own government, people. all those senators and representatives and judges and presidential hangers-on, they've got nuke-proof bunkers to which they can escape. not that a government does them much good when the country's been wiped out, but at least then they can rebuild the world in their own images. corruption at the highest levels, insincerity and evil everywhere.
It seems like everyday there's more bad news coming out of Washington -- today's recess appointment of John Bolton is a case in point. On Friday, our movement for an America that reflects our values suffered a particularly devastating blow -- Congress passed a terrible energy bill. This legislation makes us more dependent on dirty energy, and hands out billions of unnecessary corporate pork along the way.
The bill gives away more than $8.5 billion in tax breaks over the next 10 years to oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear power, and electric utilities. The nuclear industry alone gets $1.5 billion in direct subsidies, $2 billion in "risk insurance," and loan guarantees for future new reactor construction.
But as if that wasn't enough, Representative Tom DeLay managed to slip a provision into the bill at the very last minute to enrich an oil and gas consortium in his district to the tune of $1 billion. Another last-minute addition to the bill (incredibly) relaxes the rules on export of bomb-grade uranium in order to benefit a single medical isotope manufacturer based in Canada.
