  • i am impressed

    The only bad thing about this election is that the Dems are offering a number of strong candidates, all of them seem vastly superior to the GOP especially in environmental matters, yet I'm still worried about the general election.  Reading this interview with Hillary is almost enough to make me support her, even though I LOVE Dennis Kucinich and am very fond of Edwards and Dodd and Obama as well.  Hillary's support of the 80% reduction by 2050 is basically a litmus test, and I do think she has a solid if undistinguished track record for supporting environmental legislation. We could do a lot worse.
    So, I feel that if by closing ranks early behind Hillary we can preclude another 4 years of GOP non-leadership, we -- that is, progressives -- should do it.  
    I will continue to support candidates who think "outside the box" and encourage Hillary to listen and learn from them.

  • Kucinich vs. Obama

    I believe Dennis Kucinich still deserves our support as the most comprehensive thinker on the subject of ecology, peace and a hopeful future. As such, he deserves the green vote.  I don't live in a hole and  I know how he's polling.  In the end, I would be happy to support Obama in a general election, but right now, we need to push all of America to listen to Dennis Kucinich and learn from him.  
    Comments to others:  coal to liquid certainly deserves some research, but not as much as renewable fuels -- shouldn't we be researching both? and wind and hydro?  we're going to be totally hybrid by 2050 anyway; perhaps there is more merit than we might think in liquid coal if I understand Mr. Bridges post correctly.On An interview with Barack Obama about his presidential platform on energy and the environment posted 2 years, 4 months ago 28 Responses

  • geldof criticizes live earth

    Talk about eating  your young!  Geldof should really be much more supportive of a world wide effort to do anything positive!  I think he's jealous -- I really do.
    Interestingly enough, living in New Hampshire one does run into one's share of nutcases. The current nutcase comment is that Al Gore flies in private jets so obviously he's a hypocrite.  Is that true?  I wish I had a factual response to this....
