I guess the "all-the-above-energy" solution talk was to be taken in a literal sense: "above ground" energy -- wind, solar, nuclear, and hydroelectric, but NOT fossil fuel ("below ground"):
The Obama administration’s stated all-of-the-above energy strategy
favors alternative and renewable sources and discourages fossil fuels,
a US House committee chairman charged.
“It’s actually simple: Any
energy made above ground counts. Any made underground doesn’t,”
Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell E. Issa
(R-Calif.) said as the committee began a May 31 hearing on the
administration’s energy strategy.
“An all-of-the-above energy strategy can’t succeed on its own,” he
maintained. “We need to have an all-of-the-below strategy too.”
I can't make this stuff up.
