Cavalcade Of Hacks: Former Bush II Energy Officials (Now Lobbyists) Just Can't Wait For Bush III
EDIT
Energy insiders say it's still early to gauge how the former Florida governor's environmental policies would shape up if he became a presidential candidate. "His general philosophy is he's a conservative; he's basically conservative, and his message is basically conservative," said Gray. "And he hasn't been more specific really than that."
When it comes to being pragmatic on environmental issues, "I don't know that I would distinguish that much between the father, the brother and Jeb," said the former George W. Bush administration energy official. "I don't think that there would be enough distinction on those issues that would cause people not to be interested in Jeb."
Bush's views on climate change haven't been particularly clear in recent years. "I think global warming may be real," he told Fox News in a 2011 interview. "It is not unanimous among scientists that it is disproportionately man-made."
Asked in 2009 whether he believes global warming is primarily man-made, Bush told Esquire, "I'm a skeptic. I'm not a scientist. "I think the science has been politicized. I would be very wary of hollowing out our industrial base even further ... I think we need to be very cautious before we dramatically alter who we are as a nation because of it."
Still, Bush built up fairly good rapport with at least some environmentalists during his time as Florida's governor, and some expect him to take a moderate stance on energy and environmental issues if he wins the presidency. Said GOP energy strategist McKenna, "If there was ever a Republican president who would sign a climate bill, it would be Jeb."
