Chairman Issa, Ranking Member Cummings, and members of the committee, thank you very much for the opportunity to testify today.
I am Daniel J. Weiss, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a tax-exempt organization dedicated to progressive values and ideas.
The question posed for this hearing is, “Does President Obama really support an ‘all of the above’ energy strategy?”
What is an “all of the above” energy strategy? To most Americans, it means we must do three things:
- Develop the energy resources of today while using them more efficiently.
- Invest in the new, cleaner technologies of tomorrow.
- Reduce the public health threat from pollution generated by producing and burning coal, oil, and natural gas.
We just heard all the rhetoric. Let’s review the Obama record on the “all of the above” energy strategy checklist.
