The political tactic of saying one thing and doing another is still not being properly, that is widely, reported.  National polling indicates time and again very different priorities than political punditry would imply.

According to a Bloomberg poll taken 3rd August 2006, 52% of the American public said the U.S. government should invest in alternative energy sources to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. 

If the November elections had different results, would this “administration” be talking about limited reliance on foreign energy at all?

To date, the Bush administration is increasingly intent on making it difficult for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Inspector General’s office to actually perform EPA oversight.  The fact of the matter is, if relationships are not exposed, the Bush Administration and K-Street lobbyists would continue to experience profitability from their unprecedented links to gluttonous oil companies and private contractors such as Exxon Mobil and Halliburton. 

Given 75% of Americans favor putting caps on carbon emissions, where is our federally funded national energy policy already? Will the Sanders/Boxer Bill pull through?  National polling in favor of such legislation exists; such poll results should be effected into immediate action. Additionally, despite seemingly popular political infighting witnessed earlier this week by former Vice President Al Gore, venture capitalists are on board with America’s oil free future. 

In 2007 where are mainstream media outlets in vigorously reporting the advantages of a conservative American society specialized in alternative energy manufacturing?  The International community and the majority of Americans remain disillusioned by the administrations ties to the Neo-Conservative think tank, American Enterprise Institute, and their shared repugnant efforts to disband scientific, political and economic action towards U.S. climate change solutions. 

We know full well it is this gangster like politicking that has kept us from making urgent significant progress.  

On HBO’s latest Real Time w/Bill Maher, David Frum, former white house Economist and representative of AEI, attempted to make claims about what American stratagem should be with regards to energy and foreign policy. 

letter to the NYTimes: 

         Self described conservative, student David J. Maxham III conceptualizes in his latest Daily Targum article A Thousand Times, Vote No!, "the establishment is neither conservative nor liberal, neither Republican nor Democrat.  It simply is, and its momentum is awesome."   As recent alum of Rutgers College, I am engaged in American politics and have been following student government happenings of late.  Sunday 4th February 2007, the NY Times' David Brooks reported on his findings when he asked Duke University students to "write a paper defining their political philosophy, because (he) thought it would be useful for them to organize their views into a coherent statement."   He found students "main axis of their politics is not between left and right but between idealism and realism."

          As Mr. Maxham III voices utter concern about the power of the Rutgers College Governing Association and lists a timeline of events seemingly bent on preventing the appointment of a fraternally affiliated Mr. Jordan Young, I am deeply worried about the future of those currently involved in student government at Rutgers.   

           If these heard it through the grapevine attempts at swaying the student body and lack of student trust with regards to National electioneering say anything it is that the students need to compile the support necessary for a new daily university news outlets; The polarized require better means to fully express themselves. On the same day the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released unequivocal evidence of the human, namely Americas, contribution to global warming, The Daily Targum ran an article entitled "Right Wing Group focuses on Poverty: Conservative equal to NJPIRG bypasses environmental concerns to center on Needy."   

        As a lead volunteer for Environment New Jersey, a sister organization to NJPIRG, I find this sole political mention of the state of our environment especially lacking.  The fact that Global Climate Change is happening is not political but the way we solve it is.  Every "Right Wing Group"pigeon holing itself to combat one issue is right to do so but that should never take away from the expected student reporting on issues of International urgency. What about NJ's legislation to cap CO2 emissions?

"Global warming is the greatest and most urgent environmental challenge of our time.  Governor Corzine rose to the challenge today by establishing a firm, far-reaching, science-based commitment to reduce New Jersey’s global warming emissions.  Further, his support for policies needed to achieve steep reductions will ensure New Jersey tackles this problem head-on and sets a vital precedent for strong national action."(Suzanne Leta Liou, Environment New Jersey)

        NJ is a bigger contributor to climate change than Israel, Greece, and Argentina. With bipartisan support, the Global Warming Response Act (A3301/S2114), is a coalition backed bill that will require mandatory limits on our states total global warming emissions.  "On Tuesday, February 20th, at 7 pm, the New Jersey legislature will be holding a public hearing on ground-breaking global warming legislation at the West Orange High School."
