Let's see how many people support Obama's War on Coal and his squandering billions of dollars on windmill and solar power boondoggles like Solyndra and how many people are ready to return a sane energy policy to Washington.

[COLOR="Blue"]Romney to lay out 'comprehensive energy plan'

Mitt Romney plans to roll out an energy policy blueprint on Thursday, according to published reports.

The presumptive GOP White House nominee signaled his plans at a Houston, Texas, fundraiser on Tuesday, according to The Washington Post.

“We will be, I believe before the end of this week, in New Mexico describing a comprehensive energy plan, particularly as it relates to fossil-based fuels,” he said.

“I know that we have members of the media here right now, so I’m not going to go through that in great detail so I can save a bit of that until a little later in the week. But your input is something I wanted to retain before we actually cross the Ts and dot the Is on those policies,” he told donors.

Romney is slated to campaign in New Mexico on Thursday, Reuters notes.

Energy is already playing a prominent role in the presidential race.

President Obama has been taking aim at Romney’s opposition to extending tax credits that help finance wind energy projects, while Romney used an Ohio campaign stop last week to allege Obama is hostile to coal and oil-and-gas.

Romney has already described several aspects of his energy proposals.

He has vowed to approve the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline, and seek a major expansion of oil-and-gas leasing on federal lands and waters — including Pacific and Atlantic Coast waters that remain off-limits under Obama.
