Philip Clapp Quotations

Only one measure has ever stopped the growth of foreign oil imports and helped the Big Three auto makers stave off foreign competition: increased fuel efficiency standards for American-made cars.

The president's pollsters are telling him that high energy prices and his drill-only energy policy are driving his job approval numbers down. So he's decided to go out and tell Americans what the polls tell him they want to hear. It's just the same old oil guy doing photo ops at solar plants.

This is a series of photo-ops entirely driven by polls that tell the president that he isn't doing enough on energy. The president is talking a good game, but his budget doesn't back it up.

This deal means that the world is now constructing a global framework to deal with climate change, not just emission reductions by industrialized nations.

At a time when these controversial issues need a leader who can find common ground, the president could not have chosen a more divisive nominee.

It's all talk. The president hasn't changed his energy policies at all.
