Hillary Clintons Energy Plan Puts GOP Rivals in Hot Seat
On Sunday night Hillary Clinton rolled out the first phase of her energy plan with a fact sheet and video putting the crisis of climate change in stark terms.
Narrating the video, Clinton wonders, as many of us do, what we will tell future generations when they see how weve plundered the earth to create energy when safer, cleaner options like solar, wind and geothermal were at our disposal.
Clintons plan rests on two pillarsthough she promises to expand her agenda in the coming months. First, she wants to have 500 billion solar panels installed by the end of her first term. That represents a total of 140 gigawatts or a 700 percent increase from current levels.
Second, she wants to generate enough energy from renewable sources to power every American home by January of 2027.

If she want to generate that much energy, she's going to need a bigger bicycle.

I've always believed one of the best ways to approach this is to give incentives

Hillary will have a slew of accomplishments under her belt before her first term ends. Every American will be in position to reap the benefits.

Since a vote for Hillary is a vote for Keystone, I can't see what else the GOP can do?
