Yea why is Harper wasting tax payer money on lobbying something that will be approved anyway?
A couple posters in a train station? Wow!
This never was about environment was it?
The real problem with the energy legislation is that it provided tax incentives for renewable resources. That's leftist crap which is totally unacceptable.
GE is scooping all the good subsidies Real cash taxpayer money not tax credits but GE gets those too.
Big Business is the enemy of the American people because it is in bed with Big Govt. Only Big Business can comply with Big Govt.'s regulatory state. Get with the program.
GE is the Democratic Party.
How Much Were Your Taxes? General Electric Paid $0
Nobody but nobody has more to gain from promoting climate change, blocking oil pipelines, fighting coal, creating the smart grid, promoting NG, solar, wind and hydro, GMO, weapons, aerospace and gaining control of Eurasia.
GE is more powerful than all the oil companies combined and is their biggest competition.

US Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden just got a big job with a Ukrainian gas company. Can anyone say nepotism and influence pedaling?
"The youngest son of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, has been appointed head of legal affairs at Ukraine's largest private gas producer — a move he said would benefit Ukrainians and the country's economy.
In a statement published Monday on its website, Burisma Holdings announced Hunter Biden would join its board of directors and head the company's legal unit.
"As a new member of the board, I believe that my assistance in consulting the company on matters of transparency, corporate governance and responsibility, international expansion and other priorities will contribute to the economy and benefit the people of Ukraine," Hunter Biden said in the statement.
Burisma owns several Ukrainian oil and gas companies, including Esko Pivnich and Pari, Lenta.ru reported Tuesday. The company also has assets in Ukraine's Dnepr-Donetsk, the Carpathian and the Azov-Kuvan basins..."

For GE? Hell yeah. They are big enough to create the AGW myth and walk off with trillions in green contracts and free money on top off their non-green enterprises. They even profit from the energy ears in Eurasia with weapons contracts. Win win win.
It's listed.
Considering Harry Reid wanted a vote on the bill, how would the Republiklans' stopping it from coming up for a vote constitute a "stranglehold" for Harry Reid?
Bring on the dancing baby Spiderman.
Please T-Bones... you can't be that misinformed on what happened.
Harry Reid said pass my energy bill as is and with no amendments and THEN I will put your bill up to vote. So the GOP was to give into Reid and hope that he doesn't screw them by finding a reason to not allow the bill to go to the floor.
Read up on it.
I will decide when I will post the dancing baby Spiderman... or you can go post one yourself.

DBSM or GTFO!
I know that (though the Republiklans were able to make amendments earlier in the process). Just that my definition of "stranglehold" doesn't include "your wishes can be blocked by the other guys."
They were... and what happened to the bill?
Yes they can be blocked and Harry Reid does block over and over. He's an obstructionist. Obama's lap dog.
Obama has had to veto only two bills because of his snake in the senate.
