Clinton is right
Love them both, but disagree with the analogy. Gore gives the focus - scares folks into believing - but Clinton provided a rationale that appeals to a populous more scared by the economy than climate change: clean energy is THE solution to economic stagnation and inequality, and to a future independent of foreign oil.
He then went on to outline an 11 (eleven) step plan.
It's critical to build the national mandate needed for implementable change: an invigorated national energy infrastructure and extended tax credits for renewable fuels for a start. In order to do that, we need to focus not just on climate change, but on the enormous economic opportunities for jobs, growth and energy independence.
Clinton spoke beyond the choir. I, for one, applaud his bravery in talking hard issues.
