"So Hillary says, in 2005, the United States Congress adopted the Bush-Cheney energy bill, which gave $27 billion in subsidies to nuclear, oil, and gas and coal. The only thing that was justified was clean coal, because countries are going to be using that. We have to figure out how to take the carbon dioxide out of it. The rest of it is waste. If you elect me, I'll repeal those subsidies. And put them into a strategic energy fund that will create American jobs for America's future with clean energy."

If you coughed and missed the "Hillary says" in that sentence you might be surprised when he reaches the "if you elect me" part of the pitch more than 60 words later.

:p

To all you P&N blah blah people.... This is OT material. It's funny, and you have to wonder if it wasn't entirely unintentional.

Okay, I'm about to turn this into P&N material: Didn't Bill put the kabosh on using one of the largest deposits of clean coal in the world in Utah during his tenure? I vaguely recall something about it......

LOL Laissez-faire Republic. What is this, 9th grade history class?

There's no such thing as clean coal.

Edit: Oh he's talking about carbon sequestering. That's something else...

it is lower sulfur coal
greenies can bitch all they want, but as oil prices continue up up up, pressure will build to use more native sources , like the utah coal and the ANWR oil

greenies will be outnumbered by the average joe that wants enough money left from his paycheck after filling the pickup with gasoline to be able to buy a few cases of beer and pay the cable bill so he can watch NFL football games

it's easy to see he is continuing the 'so hillary says' bit, and that he is implying hillary said 'if you elect me.. blah blah blah'
he should have broken it up and said, 'and then hillary continued...' or something along that line...
it's hard to understand long quotes when they are in spoken form. don't take it out of context though.

while we all know Bill is going to want to try and push a few policy ideas through Hillary, we all know she is too much of a bitch to let Bill get his way, unless she agrees with it in the first place and thus Bill really didn't do much except maybe remind her of said policy ideas. Because she's also a dumbass and might forget which side she once stood on for particular issues. she's proven that a few times. :p
