He should also stop propping up the nuclear industry and the myth of "clean coal".

13. I agree, but there is no known way to travel back in time. Retracting the support,
both in word and deed, is the best we can currently hope for.

9. Yes, but more impotantly is to stop any new areas from actually opening.

10. Most definitely
Total numbnuts move to start with. Pushing policy you know to be counter productive, dangerous, and even under the best case scenario a solution that is utterly ineffective to the core problem is ridiculous.

Compromises between what is right and crazystupid don't usually end up even to be acceptable, the crazystupid drags down even the best ideas to an unworkable quagmire.

12. I agree the original support was an obviously bad idea.
I have been really questioning President Obama's judgment.

14. Wait until the report comes in and then make the decision based on the findings
That's the path of "least egg on the face."
