Obama Scrubs Whitehouse Website of "Climate Change" Promises, Media Mum

Hey guys! Remember this????

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvJJP9AYgqU]YouTube - Obama: "Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America"[/ame]

Yeah, that hope and change!

Despite the fact that President Obama made Cap and Trade and other green policy plans a focal point of his early days in office — not to mention his campaign for president — the White House has quietly scrubbed from its official website many of Obama’s promises and green initiatives. I guess the era of Obama really is “change you can believe in.”

Especially interesting it the sudden disappearance of Obama’s plan to commit $150 billion on clean energy research and development.
In 2008 as Obama was preparing to take office he featured on his “Office of the President Elect” website a pledge to spend $150 billion on energy R & D. As of today, that pledge is still there.

Invest in a clean energy economy and create 5 million new green jobs: Obama and Biden will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid. The plan will also invest in America’s highly skilled manufacturing workforce and manufacturing centers to ensure that American workers have the skills and tools they need to pioneer the first wave of green technologies that will be in high demand throughout the world.
​

This policy was a major plank in his green initiatives plan and was featured on the White House website until July but just short of the two-year point in his term this pledge has vanished from the White House website.
Also gone is any clear pledge to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions via his formerly touted cap and trade legislative efforts. For instance, the section once titled “Closing the Carbon Loophole and Cracking Down on Polluters” is now vanished down the memory hole.

The differences can be clearly seen on the website Versionista, a site that tracks changes in the White House website.

Apparently, actual science and people doing and thinking for themselves scares Dave!!! What's the matter? We're not bowing down to your "approved" sources? They're actually talking about doing experiments, rather than searching the internet for the next kook blog that will back up your biases.
