Yeah, so, there was a Democratic debate last night. Far as I can tell, there wasn't much said about energy or the environment (except in the clean coal ads brought to viewers by debate sponsor ABEC). Both candidates briefly mentioned creating a green economy, but it wasn't the subject of any back and forth or detailed questioning. (Though see Glenn below.)
I will say, Clinton's closing remarks were some of the most graceful of the campaign. She says she'll fight on even if she loses Texas and Ohio, but I couldn't help but hear a faint note of concession in her tone:
Overall, I don't think the debate did much to alter the basic trajectory of the race, which right now seems to be trending inexorably in Obama's direction.

The energy policy Barack has promoted is it, live with it. No negotiating now. The Barack star wave has eliminated that possibility. Why should Barack listen to Gore now?
The voters and the media have bought into the lobbyist orginated clean coal, fuel farming, and nuclear power fuuture Barack has outlined. Cap and trade here it comes.
How long will it take for hedge funds to hedge the risk of eco-reform for status quo energy corporatism? They are already on the case, creating a bubble in farmland for corn ethanol fuel farming. Off to the races! Look for 4 dollar gas next, as soon as this memorial day.
And heating bills driving more families from their bubble mortgaged homes next winter.
