When President Clinton proposed a broad-based energy tax, environmental groups cheered. Organizations like the NRDC lamented that the proposal was scaled back to only an increased tax on gasoline. Yet more evidence that the Washington environmental establishment places partisan politics above its purported commitment to environmental protection.
