AMERICANS FOR ENERGY SECURITY AND INNOVATION RELEASES TAXI AD: “OBAMA IS A HYPOCRITE”
Washington – As President Obama prepares to travel to Paris for a global conference on climate change at the end of November, Americans for Energy Security and Innovation is releasing a new ad that highlights his hypocrisy on promoting clean energy. President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency is gutting the successful Renewable Fuel Standard that has created jobs and cut our dependence on foreign oil.
“Regardless of your position on climate change, it’s clear that President Obama is talking out of both sides of his mouth on renewable energy. Despite his environmental rhetoric, the Obama Administration has tried to gut the Renewable Fuel Standard – the only successful federal law that has effectively promoted clean fuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The President’s stunning hypocrisy has undermined his credibility and proven that he cannot be trusted to keep his word and follow through on his promises,” said American for Energy Security and Innovation Chairman and former United States Senator Jim Talent.
The ad will run in Washington, DC taxicabs.
