The President released his blueprint today with language that has noticeably evolved to reflect the sequester mindset now in Congress—the need to lower government costs. Phrases like “double…energy productivity”, “cut energy waste”, “safe and responsible…clean and secure energy future” follow the theme of doing more with less. His current proposals are modest, building on current […]
