Your thoughts are colored with extreme right wingnut partisanship. The first thing Reagan did was rip Jimmy's solar water heater off the WH roof.

Then, he put this idiot in charge of the EPA:

"I do not know how many future generations we can count of before the Lord returns."
--James Watt, February 5, 1981

However, it was not Watts' stance on environmental issues that compelled the Reagan administration to eventually force his resignation. It was the fallout from the following comment he made to a group of lobbyists regarding the makeup of his coal-leasing commission:

"We have every kind of mix you can have. I have a black, I have a woman, two Jews and a cripple."
--James Watt, September 21, 1983

Eighteen days later, Watt resigned.

The reality is that Reagan had a fairly coherent energy policy, as did Bush 41.

What was that....insuring that we stay addicted to oil?
