"both Bush and Hoover took steps to inhibit certain forms of new energy – Hoover passed prohibition, which eliminated ethanol, and Bush refused to pass any bills that promoted renewable energy."
Somebody needs to read a history book...
- wmeredith 17y agoYeah, that sounds like Pop history to me. I could deduce something similar from taking in mainstream newsertainment, but it's hardly accurate.
- jgervin 17y agoSorry should have been 'upheld' not 'passed'. And please show me where in history ethanol wasn't kept out of the market with a heavy burdensome tax, making it to expensive? Also show me a bill passed by the Bush administration that gave more subsidies to renewable energy than to big oil?
- jibiki 17y ago> Sorry should have been 'upheld' not 'passed'. That's mainly what I was complaining about.
