Two things I wrote yesterday are now up on other sites.
Over at the Guardian's opinion site, I've got a piece on Obama's new energy plan. (Wow, the comments are really awful over there.)
Over at TPM Cafe, I'm taking part in a "book club" roundtable on S&N's new book Break Through (heard of it?). While my comments here on Grist focused on the policy angle, over there I'm addressing the political story. Here's a taste:
Environmentalism is not dead. It is being reborn as we speak, emerging from its special-interest cocoon as a ... butterfly of ... oh, hell, something. Point is, the new movement S&N seek is already underway. It's the early stages of a sea change, a generational transformation. They should spend their time championing its diverse voices rather than lambasting a vestigial environmentalism of concern mostly to its reactionary opponents.
(Really I just wanted to use "vestigial" and "lambaste" in the same sentence.)

By the time that happens it will be too late.
The good news is that at least Hillary is talking like she understands the difference. Obama is pandering to biofuel, nuclear, and coal interests.
Could that help explain his surprising fund raising ability? Another hollow suit like duuhbya?
