Mitt Romney’s ‘pro-pollution’ energy platform: more drilling, more coal and fewer regulations

Joe Romm, editor of ClimateProgress.org and author of “Language Intelligence,” discusses Mitt Romney’s recently released energy plan with “Viewpoint” host Eliot Spitzer. Romm says the plan “mentions oil 154 times,” but does not include a single reference to global warming.

“Everything that could reduce pollution and make people healthier, he’s against,” Romm says. “If it’s pro-pollution and makes the oil companies richer, that’s what he’s for.”
