Energy Policy (Obama vs. Romney)

I think the two biggest factors driving this election, at least so far, are the economy (including jobs) and the likability of the two candidates. But there is another area that should be important -- energy policy. With this country importing much of the oil it uses, and the looming threat of global climate change due to the overuse of fossil fuels, the energy policy of the two major candidates should be of prime importance -- and their policies are vastly different in almost every area. The chart above, from Think Progress, shows where the candidates stand on all the important aspects of energy policy.
