West Virginia, Mountain Drama Clinton and Obama boost coal in West Virginia		21 Mar 2008	News
Posted at 2:03 PM on 21 Mar 2008 Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both did some coal-boosting while campaigning in West Virginia this week. Clinton told West Virginians she's always been in favor of "the cleanest coal possible," but that "coal fits in very importantly" to America's energy future. Asked about mountaintop-removal mining in a radio interview Wednesday, she hedged, saying she didn't &quo ...

This sounds familiar Clinton only candidate to appear at energy forum on Thurs.	David Roberts	26 Feb 2008	Gristmill
The Greater Houston Partnership had planned a bigtime energy forum where all the presidential candidates would come and discuss America's energy future. Only Clinton agreed to come. Despite that, it should be interesting. There will be lots of players from Big Oil & Gas there, and they want to hear about what they euphemistically call 'short-term solutions,' i.e., um, oil and gas. Will Clinton elect to piss them off, or piss her green supporters off? ...

Change we can believe in? What does the 2005 energy bill vote say about Obama?	David Roberts	24 Jan 2008	Gristmill
It's conventional wisdom that Clinton and Obama are fairly close on policy, so the choice between them will come down to "character" and theories of change. While I think that's broadly accurate, there are some differences in their voting records, and recently Elana Schorr took a close look at them to find where the candidates had made different decisions. One of the few matters of real consequence (other than the war) was the 2005 energy bill, ...

Hear You Loud and Nuclear Hillary Clinton brings an environmental issue to the fore in Nevada		17 Jan 2008	News
Posted at 3:14 PM on 17 Jan 2008 Hillary Clinton is taking pains to make sure all Nevadans know her views on -- gasp! -- an environmental issue: She would stop plans to store nuclear waste at the state's Yucca Mountain repository. "This is not just, 'We're in Nevada, so we'll talk about an issue Nevadans care about,'" Clinton assured voters. "This is an American issue." Yucca Mounta ...

Comin' Round the Mountain Leading Dem candidates talk nuclear power at Nevada debate		16 Jan 2008	News
Posted at 2:18 PM on 16 Jan 2008 The three leading Democratic presidential candidates came together in Nevada last night for yet another debate. Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama all wooed Nevada voters by voicing opposition to the Yucca Mountain nuclear-waste repository, with Edwards taking his opposition a step further and coming out against all new nuclear construction. The highest drama came b ...

Clinton v. Obama on energy Clinton hangs 2005 energy bill around Obama's neck	David Roberts	06 Jan 2008	Gristmill
Quite interesting that Clinton went after Obama specifically on energy tonight: You know, the energy bill that passed in 2005 was larded with all kinds of special interest breaks, giveaways to the oil companies. Senator Obama voted for it. I did not because I knew that it was going to be an absolute nightmare. Now we're all out on the campaign trail talking about taking the tax subsidies away from the oil companies, some of which were in that 2005 energy bill ...

More light, less heat Reflections on Grist's presidential forum on climate change	David Roberts	19 Nov 2007	Gristmill
On Saturday, presidential candidates Dennis Kucinich, John Edwards, and Hillary Clinton gathered in L.A. to discuss climate and energy at a forum co-sponsored by Grist and PRI's Living on Earth. The forum was moderated by Steve Curwood of LoE, with Mary Nichols of the California Air Resources Board and me providing questions. Despite a delay getting started -- Clinton was late arriving -- things went off without a hitch. Well, mostly without a hitch. When Clinton ca ...

Wayne Rogers is no Alan Alda Fox News disses Clinton climate plan	Joseph Romm	14 Nov 2007	Gristmill
I suppose no one should be shocked that Fox had a five-against-one (Greenpeace's John Passacantando) panel to savage Hillary Clinton's terrific climate and energy plan. The video is worth watching to see just how much some conservatives hate the strategies that are crucial to avoiding catastrophic global warming: I was surprised to see that Wayne Rogers of MASH fame has morphed into another Fox wacko. He labels Hillary's plan 'idiotic,' calls her a 'crazy pe ...*

Who are you calling sensible, punk? Hillary Clinton struggles to explain away her previous opposition to corn ethanol	David Roberts	07 Nov 2007	Gristmill
Over the years, Hillary Clinton has voted against subsidies and mandates for corn ethanol in the Senate a number of times. If you know anything about corn ethanol, you know that's a good thing. When Clinton released her (otherwise excellent) energy plan this week, it contained a whole boatload of ... subsidies and mandates for corn ethanol. That is, conversely, a bad thing. Obama's campaign took the opportunity to bash Clinton for it -- not for switching from a sensi ...

Clinton's climate and energy plan Some reflections on the strengths and weaknesses of Hillary's new proposal	David Roberts	05 Nov 2007	Gristmill
Efficiency and permit auctions and R&D, oh my! Hillary Clinton released her comprehensive energy and climate plan today. It is thoughtful, comprehensive, and though disappointingly conventional in a few areas, inspiringly bold in others. With the release of Clinton's plan, all three Democratic frontrunners for the presidency now have visionary, far-reaching energy plans that would fundamentally reorient the country away from carbon-intensive energy ...

The advisors speak A conference call with Clinton's energy advisors, about her new energy plan	David Roberts	05 Nov 2007	Gristmill
I was just on a conference call with the Clinton campaign's energy advisors, who were answering questions from the press. A couple of interesting tidbits: I noted that the cap-and-trade system laid out by Clinton dramatically exceeds what's contained in the Lieberman-Warner bill, both in terms of the permit auctions and the overall targets, and noted that Clinton's on the Senate energy committee, which will be taking up the L-W bill soon. I asked if her bold plan mean ...

Over the course of Monday and Tuesday, Hillary Clinton is going to introduce her new energy plan -- "Powering America's Future: New Energy, New Jobs' -- with a few speeches and briefings.

Fighting global warming from space Hillary lays out science proposals	Maywa Montenegro	04 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Today, in an address to the Carnegie Institution for Science (timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Sputnik), Hillary rolled out her science agenda.

The future is solar; politics is ethanol Hillary pays tribute to Iowa politics	David Roberts	23 Jul 2007	Gristmill
This is (bitterly) funny: As Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton climbed onto a makeshift stage at the Iowa State Fairgrounds and embraced motor fuel from corn as a key to America's future, she completed a turnabout from being an ethanol opponent, a position she held only two years ago. ... Political observers view her about-face as a political necessity, saying Iowa's first-in-the-nation's caucuses -- in which residents of the country's biggest corn-producing state v ...
