Pitney on the Difficulty of Passing Energy Legislation

Professor Pitney is quoted in an article in the Denver Post about Congress attempting to find solutions to current high energy and gas prices. Pitney remarks on the difficulty of passing legislation as opposed to just talking about potential solutions:

“There are more obstacles than opportunities,” said John J. Pitney Jr., a government professor at Claremont McKenna College in California. “There are a lot of members who sincerely want to do deal with the problem, but there isn’t an easy path from here to there.”
