Ron RichterU.S. Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and National Resource, released an investigative report titled, “The Solyndra Syndrome and the Green Stimulus Delusion.” Senator Barrasso said the investigative report examines the parallels between the Obama administration’s failed green stimulus policies and the policy priorities of the Biden administration.
Barrasso said President Biden has taken executive action to damage the oil and gas industry by signing an executive order to stop construction of the Keystone Pipeline, ending the prospect for roughly 11,000 American jobs this year alone. Barrasso said Biden has also implemented a moratorium on new oil and gas production on public lands that if made permanent, could cost one million jobs and jeopardize nearly $10 billion in revenue.

Is this an example of the kind of research and reasoning that lead to your approval rating from the AMA? Personally, I would not chose to operated on by a Dr. with a C- rating nor be served by a Senator with a similar record of shoddy thinking. Your continued groveling to Trump, you’re continued championing of the deadliest industry in the world, and you’re continued belief in the unicorn of clean coal are a few of the disqualifying you have demonstrated in the last 6 years. Please take your lips off McConnel’s but and resign.

Did you read the report? Solydra cost substantially less than Foxcom in Wisconsin which created 0 jobs and saw an entire community lose it’s homes through government eminent domain.Numerous green initiatives, some right here in Wyoming, have proven successful.
