Clinton’s Close Ties to the Oil, Coal and Gas Industry-Press Release

[leftcoastmountains]

NEW YORK – The Clinton campaign on Friday held a conference call with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to discuss Secretary Hillary Clinton’s record on clean energy and climate change.

Unfortunately, the Clinton campaign left out some important facts.

In 2001, Clinton voted to kill a measure backed by most Democrats and spearheaded by Sen. Bill Nelson that would have restricted drilling off the coast of Florida. Sanders voted for the restrictions.

During the 2006 election, Clinton accepted $74,000 from oil and gas interests while running for re-election that year. According to a scorecard of Senate votes compiled by the League of Conservation Voters, Clinton cast two votes in support of 2006 legislation to vastly expand drilling in the Gulf. Those votes put her on the opposite side of then-Sen. Barack Obama. That same year, Sen. Bernie Sanders voted against a measure in the House of Representatives to expand offshore drilling.

1. But but Hillary said that the money her doners give her have no effect on her

So I guess this is just another example of her poor judgment just like her vote on the war on Iraq and her using a home cooked email server.....

2. That oil money had no effect on Obama.

The greatest oil boom in this nation's history has occurred during the tenure of self-proclaimed environmentalist Barack Obama.

5. TTIP Energy Deal could dramatically change the City by making thousands of buildings too expensive

to heat and cool.

nat ural gas expprt is estimated to irreversibly increase heating gas and electricity prices by some unknown but fairly substantial amount.

Which could result in a lot of shifting in neighborhoods as poorer people could not afford to re-rent at market rate, their residence in the city is tied to a specific apartment. At the same time, real estate developers will make out like bandits.
