<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Presidential advisers discuss climate and energy on C-SPAN]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Alison Wiley http://www.grist.org/article/a-surge-of-wonkery/ Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:31:27 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/a-surge-of-wonkery/1 Oregon is ahead of the candidates

Thanks for this coverage. I have to say that we're doing somewhat better on climate change and emissions reductions than any of the candidates or advisers here in Oregon (though we still have a re-e-eally long way to go). Governor Kulongoski has come out in favor of peak-hour tolls, for instance. In terms of the journos doing poorly in addressing climate change, well, frankly when your writing has no paycheck attached to it (like mine and most bloggers) you can be more objective and tough. More  on peak-hour tolls etc. at Diamond-Cut Life http://alison97215.wordpress.com/.

If everything had to be strictly related to energy, well, there you are, I guess.

Nevertheless, it is sad, as Tom Philpott recently reported, that so many farmers are planting acres that should be conserved, on account of high prices for corn, wheat, soy, whatever.

Are they actually draining wetlands?  If so, that would not be a matter of no importance.

Similarly, it would have been appropriate to put environment advisers on the spot about the evil of CAFOs.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.
