Republican candidate Mitt Romney unveiled a new plan that would
radically alter the nation’s energy policy. On Thursday, Romney called
for ending the longstanding federal regulation of oil and gas drilling
and coal mining on government-owned lands, and instead transferring
responsibility over to the states. The move would mark a huge win for
oil and gas companies as states notoriously have weaker regulatory
mechanisms than the federal government.

Romney unveiled his plan just days after taking in nearly $10
million from the oil and gas industry in two fundraisers. According to
the New York Times, Romney’s staff drafted his plan with energy
industry executives, including the billionaire oil tycoon Harold Hamm.

New sock puppet same as the old sock puppet. As I stated a month
ago, this errand boy is an effing shoo-in for President. Book it.
