  Both are important priorities, but the climate bill has a firm deadline to it: if we don't have something in place by December, it will be tough to get anywhere with the negotiations in Copenhagen. I worry when I hear the Senate targeting December for the bill, when they should probably be targeting October.

  It is true that while the committees slog away at the bill, there's not much that could be done to speed it up, but there are some committees that are involved in both bills, and it's troubling if they tackle health care reform first. What good does health care reform do if the world goes to hell and our economy collapses?

  I think they're taking on too much right now. I wish they would keep a laser-sharp focus on the climate.

  Also, Michigan includes clean coal in its renewable energy standard, but if you read the actual act, it labels it as an "advanced cleaner energy system":

  Pennsylvania has an "Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard" that includes coal gasification and burning waste coal and coal-mine methane. Details are available on the DSIRE Web site at: http://www.dsireusa.org/library/includes/incentive2.cfm?Incentive_Code=PA06R&state=PA&CurrentPageID=1&RE=1&EE=1

  But then again, at least they're not calling it "renewable."

  Is Our Children Greening?

  Silly people, it should be "Is Are Children Greening?"!

  Or the government version:
  "Is there a general trend toward products, services, and actions with low environmental impacts among U.S. residents below the legal adult age?"
