Speaker of the House John Boehner lambasted President Obama for rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline during a press conference Wedneday. “President Obama expedited approval of the Solyndra loan project, but won’t approve a project that’s been under review for over three years…President Obama is destroying tens of thousands of American jobs and shipping American energy security to the Chinese.”

Politico’s Darren Goode reports that President Obama will formally reject the Keystone XL pipeline. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns is expected to make the announcement at a 3pm briefing. Goode notes that White House and State Department officials “have not commented publicly Wednesday, but Tuesday, White House spokesman Jay Carney indicated the administration was concerned about the lack of an alternative route in Nebraska.”

Radio hosts Mike Gallagher and Alan Colmes faced off Friday on Megyn Kelly‘s Fox News program and debated the Obama Administration’s decision to delay his decision over the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. “20,000 jobs is important except if it comes to polluting the snail darter!” Gallagher exclaimed. “All we’ve heard from both parties, Alan, is it’s all about the jobs — 20,000 American jobs are being flushed down the toilet because they’re going to pollute a little bit of water! Are you kidding”

While speaking at an event in Pittsburgh, Mitt Romney said he questioned the science behind global warming and opposed climate legislation. “‘My view is that we don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet,” Romney said. “And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us.”

Rick Perry slammed Mitt Romney‘s pro-environmental record in a new web ad calling the former Massachusetts governor and President Obama “Carbon Copies” when it came to regulating cap and trade. The video released online highlights a Wall Street Journal article that said Romney hired one of the state’s most prominent environmentalists and his state was the first to set carbon dioxide emission caps on power plants. A chyron pops up that reads “Romney implemented job killing carbon caps”, behind an ominous music track.

Last night, Sean Hannity welcomed former Baywatch star Carmen Electra on the show for a hard-hitting interview on the most important policy issues facing our nation today. Just kidding! Electra was in town doing charity work for an environmental organization, and Hannity took the opportunity to have her on the show and ask, is beauty really only skin deep?

Public Service announcements have come a long way since Smokey the Bear sternly assigned us all with the task of preventing forest fires and Woodsy the Owl asked us to “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!”

Nowadays, the trend is toward edgy, “Look at me!”-type spots designed more to generate buzz than to deliver a message. This is exemplified by two new environmental spots (via AdFreak) that are so wrong, they’re just…wrong.
