The amount of political heat that the Obama administration took for, the amount of effort that they poured into, their new coal regulations makes me skeptical of your claim.
- alexc05 10y agoIn fairness, quite often we see examples of "political heat" being driven by wilful ignorance and disingenuous outrage. In order to "score points" with the people who are watching them yell at their opponent. A politician might pretend their opponent has a position on something (A) and get very angry about that publicly, while knowing the whole while that actually the truth is (B) or sometimes they might even know that (A) was actually the only viable choice the whole time.
