Hollywood screenwriters could come up with a fictional scenario that
makes Congress look worse than it did in real life last week.
But it’s hard to see how.
Both Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress have professed their
undying love for renewable energy resources. Their affection, however,
took a back seat to rock ‘em, sock ‘em partisan politics when the
Senate failed to move legislation extending various tax incentives for
renewable resources.
If the game of chicken goes on much longer, the tax incentives will
expire at the end of the year, and billions of dollars in wind, solar,
and other clean energy investment capital is likely to go elsewhere,
where the politics are less toxic and the financial certainty more
solid.
Rather than putting money where their energy mouths are, both parties are playing for political trophies.
Reckless and feckless, that’s what they are.
