</html><description>Yves here. Since I watch energy and environment stories only from time to time, I'm not certain of the significance of pushback by some in the Democratic party against Obama's deliberately mislabeled "clean energy" plans, which translate roughly as "all fracking all the time". Is it that Obama is moving a tad early into lame duck status? Is it that Democratic party Congresscritters learned from 2010, in which the Blue Dog Democrats who were aligned with Obama took big losses, and the bona fide progressives did well?</description></oembed>
