Still glowing after racking up three more decisive primary victories in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., Barack Obama today is giving a major speech on the economy at a General Motors plant in Wisconsin. Stay tuned to Grist for the green take. Hillary Clinton made a less ballyhooed speech at a GM plant in Maryland on Monday, where she emphasized the importance of hybrid vehicles and spoke repeatedly about the promise of green-collar jobs. She also talked up green jobs at a big rally in El Paso, Texas, last night. "[W]hy don't we get smart and start creating our own energy?" she asked. "We have the sun; we have the wind; we can grow the products; we can turn what we have here in Texas into the energy of the future. ... And, if we do it right, we will begin to deal with the problem of global warming, which is a real problem that has to be attacked." John McCain, who won all three Potomac primaries on the GOP side, didn't mention the environment in his speech last night.
