Hillary Clinton unveiled her energy “plan” today in Iowa, and the reviews are in: nobody likes it. Critics, particularly those on the left, were left wanting:
“Clinton’s climate plan is remarkable for what it doesn’t say, yet,” California-based environmental activist R.L. Miller, who founded the Climate Hawks Vote PAC, said in a statement.

Politico: “The holes in Clinton’s climate plan”
The Hill: “Clinton dodges Keystone question”
Bloomberg: “Hillary Clinton Declines to Say Where She Stands on Keystone XL”
National Journal: “Hillary Clinton Still Won’t Talk About Keystone”
NBC News: “While Revealing Climate Plan, Clinton Mum on Keystone”
MSNBC host Ed Schultz piled on with his critique:
