Yesterday, we told you that the Environmental Protection Agency checked out the climate bill that’s in the House right now, and liked what they saw. And the Obama administration has been talking about renewable energy a whole lot, so they gotta be amped about this bill, too. So, what’s the administration’s official position on this?

Eh…they’re not sure yet.

Obama administration officials said Wednesday that an ambitious energy and climate-change proposal sponsored by House Democrats could help create jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but they stopped short of endorsing it.

Huh. Well, what’s going on here? Energy Secretary Steven Chu and EPA head Lisa Jackson showed up at a House hearing about the bill yesterday (wait, I thought the EPA was already on board here?), and said that the bill “could help accomplish President Obama’s goals of moderating climate change, spurring clean-energy technology and reducing dependence on foreign oil,” but were still studying the details. As well, both admitted they had not read the whole bill, and that the “administration had not given its blessings to the bill.”

Wait. Hadn’t read it all? I mean, in their defense, the thing is 650 pages long…but they knew they were gonna be quizzed by Congress on this, right? Though at least they’re positive about it. It’s a start. Until the government gets this thing going, takepart with We Can Solve It to work to prevent climate change.
