report that was called “garbage” by EIA Acting Administrator Howard

Gruenspecht.  The polluter-friendly report was just delivered yesterday

afternoon to the GOP House requesters, Reps. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT),

Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and<b> Congressman Roscoe Bartlett

(R-MD).</b> </span>Checks and Balances provided a copy to DeSmogBlog, which we’re

providing to the public here: <a data-beacon="{" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dp9rzhnoca7lva6" target="_blank">“Direct Federal Financial Interventions and Subsidies in Energy in Fiscal Year 2010” [PDF]</a>.

<p>Gabe Elsner, Deputy Director of the Checks and Balances Project, told

DeSmogBlog that, “<b>if it’s true that the Acting Administrator

Gruenspecht called this report a “piece of garbage” he was right,

because it deliberately leaves out the six other ways in which coal, oil

and natural gas get government handouts.</b>  The fossil fuel welfare tab

is tens or hundreds of times greater than the cost of pro-renewable

policy support.”  </p></div>

<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p><b>Elsner says

that this report is essentially a re-issue of the 2007 Alexander study

that was designed to defend public welfare to the fossil fuel industry,</b>

such as oil and gas industry subsidies. The new EIA analysis fails to

take into account the full range of subsidies at play in the energy

sector, and therefore delivers a favorable analysis of fossil fuels over

renewables. </p></div>

<div class="content-list-component mt-paragraph text"><p>By excluding a

lot of the other avenues of direct federal support given

disproportionately to fossil fuel interests, as well as financial tools

designed to assist dirty energy companies, the report is just plain

faulty, or “fuzzy math” as some guy once said. </p></div>

<p>Missing from the EIA calculations are a plethora of advantages the

dirty energy industry enjoys over clean tech companies, including

outsized direct subsidies for mature industries, publicly funded

pollution cleanup assistance, cheap insurance, low-interest federal

loans, extensive tax breaks, and —<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> most gut wrenching in the wake of <a data-beacon="{" href="http://www.desmogblog.com/breaking-tim-dechristopher-sentenced-two-years-prison">Tim DeChristopher’s imprisonment</a>

as access to public lands and tax credits to build transmission lines. </span></p></div>

<p>

Meanwhile, Republicans who do believe in global warming get shunted aside. ...Gannett News Service recently reported that Rep. Wayne Gilchrest asked to be on the <b><span style=" color: #ED1C24;">Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. </span></b>House Republican leader <b>John Boehner of Ohio refused to allow it unless Gilchrest would say that humans have not contributed to global warming. The Maryland Republican refused and was denied a seat.</b></p>

<p>

<b><span style=" color: #ED1C24;">Reps. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.) and Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.), both research scientists, also were denied seats on the committee.</span></b> Normally, relevant expertise would be considered an advantage. In this case, it was a disqualification; if the GOP allowed Republican researchers who accept the scientific consensus to sit on a global warming panel, it would kill the party's strategy of making global warming seem to be the pet obsession of Democrats and Hollywood lefties.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>GOP leadership has been loading the dice by stacking relevant committees  with climate zombies at least as far back as 2007.</p>

<strong>Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett, R-Md.</strong>

“I don’t know whether we’re changing the climate or not, but for other really good reasons, we need to do exactly what [climate-science advocates] want to do, and that is move away from fossil fuels to renewables.… The innocence and ignorance in the general American public about energy matters is astounding. And we have truly representative government. People just buy into the notion that we’re the Saudi Arabia of coal: Don’t worry about energy; we have coal forever.”

<p>Roscoe Bartlett believes that there should be aggressive and effective immigration policy, because he believes that ineffective immigration raises the cost of government and reduces jobs and wages for Americans. He wants to secure the borders by sending troops and building a wall. He strongly opposes amnesty and the guest worker program, wants strict enforcement of existing immigration laws, and rigorous prosecution of criminals that facilitate illegal immigrants. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://bartlett.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=2065">[1]</a></p>

He attended Columbia Union College and graduated in 1947 with a B.S. in theology and biology and a minor in chemistry, with the intention of becoming a minister. Bartlett is "a devout Seventh-day Adventist [and] strong moral values and spiritual faith have had a major influence on his life and education." <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.cuc.edu/news.html?story_id=643">[11]</a>

Too young for seminary acceptance, Bartlett instead attended graduate school at the University of Maryland, College Park, earning a <b>Master's degree in physiology</b> in 1948. Bartlett was then hired as a University of Maryland faculty member and taught anatomy, physiology and zoology while working towards his<b> Ph.D. in physiology, which he earned in 1952</b>. His academic career included lecturing at the Loma Linda School of Medicine in Loma Linda, California (1952-1954), and serving as an assistant professor at Howard University Medical School in Washington, D.C. (1954-1956).

"In 1961, Bartlett returned to Maryland and farming after he purchased his 145-acre then-dairy farm on the Monocacy River in Frederick County. While running his farm, he worked at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory as director of a new 30-member research group in Space Life Sciences. The group designed and conducted a series of pioneering research experiments that contributed to <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/NASA" title="NASA">NASA</a>'s successful Gemini, Mercury and Apollo missions to land men on the moon and bring them back safely to earth." <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.cuc.edu/news.html?story_id=643">[12]</a></p>

<p>

Bartlett also worked for IBM on "numerous biomedical engineering and defense-related projects. With IBM's assistance, he formed his own research and development company, Roscoe Bartlett and Associates." His company later diversified into land development, and his firm built more than 100 homes in Frederick County, many of them solar powered.<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.bartlett.house.gov/biography.asp">[13]</a></p>

<p>In 1982, Bartlett was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress. Ten years later he won election.

<font color="#FF0000">A vocal proponent of the Hubbard <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Peak_oil" title="Peak oil">Peak Oil</a> theory, </font>Bartlett argues strongly in favor of preparation for a decline in fossil fuel production. "He also has a small homestead in West Virginia that is largely solar-powered. He drives a Toyota Prius and plans to buy his second one next year to take advantage of the Energy Policy Act's generous, if limited tax incentive. He can be fairly said to practice what he preaches. And of late, that preaching includes trying to warm his colleagues in Congress about the reality of peak oil, including giving a number of speeches on the floor of the House. He also recently formed the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Peak_Oil_Caucus" title="Peak Oil Caucus">Peak Oil Caucus</a> in Congress." --<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.evworld.com/index.cfm"><i>EV World</i>, November 23, 2005</a>.
