Doesn't surprise me at all

At the Grist forum held early last year in Los Angeles, and ALL candidates were invited.

Hillary, Edwards and Kucinich.

They were the only ones who took it seriously enough.

So, when my time came around, I voted Hillary.

Would do it again, to.

About that LCV score

Nonsense. Once again with Obama we have a limited record to judge him by.

Check his lifetime score, and you find 2 years. 1 ranked 100 and one 95.

Then check Hillary. We also have a 100 year, and a 95 year. She has more yearsm, and several with lower scores but she still gets a lifetime score of 90.

Not "by far" by any means. Limited number of years.

I have serious questions about Obama and nukes, and Obama and coal. I am thankful he can be pressured and his stances have become greener as people have raised doubts, but that's not what matters in the long run.

The interview is all very fine and good

but I rewatched the video from the Climate Change forum the other day.

Thank you!!!!

good lord, I have been trying and trying and trying to get the word out about this.

It was the first issue that made me take a closer look at Obama. Frankly, I was underwhelmed, then repulsed.On Obama talks about fighting the nuclear industry, but his record is less strident posted 1 year, 9 months ago 4 Responses

Excuse, please?

show me where in publicallya available information Hillary is taking money from oil companies?

We know Obama took cash from nuclear power, but that's not reason to bash Hillary.

Town Hall broadcast, 2-4-2008

Hillary referred to addressing climate change as the "equivalent of the space race".

I think that should be added.On A look at Hillary Clinton's environmental platform and record posted 1 year, 9 months ago 7 Responses

Interesting that they discussed it

but they're still getting the main issue wrong.

It's not a states' rights issue. It's an issue as to whether the California's unique exception as written into law should be honored, or the Bush admin should federal law be allowed to ignore it, regardless of what the EPA's staff and legal counsel advised.

I won't get my hopes up that Arnold's message to the GOP, that they are out of touch with the very real issue of climate change, got through.

It may have gotten through enough to last a week before the behemoth state votes in its primary though.On All four Republican candidates support California's right to a waiver from the Bush EPA posted 1 year, 10 months ago 4 Responses

One thing California has

that is being ignored is a built in electric generation conservation policy. It started in the '70s, was loosened a bit in the past 30 years, but has never gone away.

One of the prime reasons California generates less greenhouse gases is that the state, public and industry tend to save energy. And there is a consciousness on behalf of everyone to continue that, and improve it.

So, make as many excuses as you want. California has made a choice, and is simply waiting for the rest of you guys to follow.On New report summarizes clean tech in California posted 2 years ago 11 Responses
