YearlyKos: My long day	David Roberts	04 Aug 2007	Gristmill
This morning, I woke up early to go to the Energize America 2020 panel. There was far too much information to replicate here -- you can see the details of the plan on their site -- but as I said earlier, what's remarkable is that such a collaborative project has produced such a solid, practical plan. And the openness of the process is not some add-on, it's part of the core principles guiding the project. Read through the plan -- it fills enormous gaps in the energy p ...

Meta: not inspirational Edwardsian rhetoric	David Roberts	13 Jul 2007	Gristmill
In this interview, John Edwards uses a line I've heard him use three or four times now, so it must be a stock part of his speeches: Our generation must be the one that says, "We must halt global warming." Um, no. Our generation must be the one that says, "Our generation must be the one that says, 'our generation must be the one that says that it's not cool to talk about oneself in weirdly recursive terms.'"

Clinton and Obama: eco-sellouts? A columnist thinks so	David Roberts	24 May 2007	Gristmill
Over at Politico, Glenn Hurowitz argues that at key moments, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have sold out the public interest in favor of polluting industries in their states. He says they could stand to learn something from Bill Richardson and John Edwards, whose energy/climate plans are ambitious and powerful. I suspect that if you look closely enough at Richardson's and Edwards' records, you could find some evidence that they're not above parochialism either, but ...

Alice in ethanol-land Edwards, Canada, and now South Africa	Ron Steenblik	21 Mar 2007	Gristmill
Former Senator John Edwards (D-N.C.) -- now a presidential hopeful -- has just published his latest energy plan. One important plank of that plan foresees the nation producing (not just consuming, which would allow for imports) 65 billion gallons a year of ethanol by 2025. ('I'll meet your bid for 2030, Barack, and raise it by five billion!') If the 51 cents a gallon volumetric ethanol excise tax credit (VEETC) is extended beyond the end of 2010 -- as most commentat ...

Dem voters and global warming They say they care, but they never call in the morning	David Roberts	14 Dec 2006	Gristmill
There's lots of buzz in the progressosphere about a new poll in Iowa -- site of a pivotal Dem primary -- showing John Edwards in the lead. Another poll of Iowa Dems commissioned by Environmental Defense also found some interesting stuff: A 72% of majority of Democratic caucus-goers say they consider global warming to be extremely (32%) or very (39%) serious -- while another 15% say it is fairly serious. Only 11% dismiss it as just somewhat (9%) or not ...
