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 ...

Nader on the Issues A look at Ralph Nader's environmental platform and record		19 Mar 2008	Grist Feature
Updated 22 Aug 2008 Ralph Nader. Though Ralph Nader is running as an independent and not under the Green Party banner this time around, he still has some serious small-G green cred (at least among those not still livid over his alleged role in Gore's 2000 presidential defeat). In the heyday of his consumer advocacy, he and the groups he formed helped get landmark environmental and consumer-protection laws p ...

Nader on the Record An interview with Ralph Nader about his presidential platform on energy and the environment	Amanda Griscom Little	19 Mar 2008	Grist Feature
This is part of a series of interviews with presidential candidates. Ralph Nader. Photo: Sage Ross He brought you the seat belt. He launched a consumer advocacy empire. He got 2,883,105 votes in the 2000 presidential election, which critics argue helped put George W. Bush in the White House. Ralph Nader has earned fame -- and infamy -- for many d ...

The elections paradigm shift Why this is the last election, and another look at McCain	Ken Ward	14 Mar 2008	Gristmill
This is the last U.S. election. Have we taken stock of the implications? There is no room for incremental thinking. The storm will fall on whomever we elect president (and isn't there a case for McCain?). Among the startling implications of breaching the 350 ppm limit is the likelihood that this is the last U.S. presidential election during which there remains a slim opportunity to take decisive global climate action. All the ordinary rules and habits of elections and ca ...

Convention Wisdom Republican convention will go green		05 Mar 2008	News
Posted at 1:22 PM on 05 Mar 2008 Not to be outdone by the Democratic convention, the Republican convention will, indeed, go green. While hosting divisive delegate debates over the best way to address environmental issues from a GOP perspective, the Minneapolis convention hall will boast recycled-fiber carpet, booths and stages constructed of local, sustainably harvested wood, water in petroleum-free bottles, biodegradable plates, composted f ...

Primaries thread	David Roberts	04 Mar 2008	Gristmill
This is the thread to discuss all things election related this evening. To kick things off: Obama wins Vermont, handily, as expected. From what I hear the other three are tight. UPDATE: According to CNN, McCain has won Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island, thereby securing the Republican nomination. Guess Huckabee should have majored in math after all. UPDATE: Clinton projected to win Rhode Island. UPDATE: CNN is projecting that both my children are now in bed ...

McCain's environmental record	David Roberts	04 Mar 2008	Gristmill
Don't miss Brad Plumer's excellent review of John McCain's environmental record in The New Republic. He covers a lot of the same ground I covered in my piece on the same subject, only with more of the entertaining details and anecdotes that make him a magazine feature writer and me a mere blogger. On the issue of the supposedly straight-talking McCain being quite squirrely on the issues in practice, see also Elizabeth Bumiller's piece yesterday in the NYT.

Letter in TAP Green advocates urged to be reasonable	David Roberts	02 Mar 2008	Gristmill
In last month's print edition of The American Prospect, Chris Mooney had an article called "This will mean the world to us," about what a new president and Congress could and should do on climate change. The editors asked me to write a letter in response, which is in this month's issue. It's semi-on the web here, but I think you have to be a subscriber to read it. Here's the full, pre-edited version: Dear editor, In his otherwise astute survey of the pol ...

Tina Fey: 'Bitch is the new black'	David Roberts	01 Mar 2008	Gristmill
If you watch to the end of this, you'll find a spirited defense of Hillary Clinton. I was recently scolded for only posting Obama videos, but the thing is, all the interesting/funny videos this campaign have been from Obama supporters. I'm glad Tina Fey (who I worship) helped me balance the scales. Now, somebody send me a decent McCain video and I'll post it! Here's Fey:

ABEC ads in Ohio	David Roberts	29 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Speaking of fossil shenanigans, check out the blitz of advertising coal front group ABEC is running in Ohio in advance of the presidential primary there. I've been trying to pick the creepiest one, but's pretty tough. I think the two winners are the audio ad to your right and the print ad below the fold: For non-bullshit-laden analysis of the benefits of green ene ...

'How not to run for vice president' VP hopeful Pawlenty fails energy/climate conservative litmus test	Joseph Romm	29 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Just in case you thought conservatives might be warming up to climate action and clean energy with the impending nomination of John McCain, uber-conservative columnist Bob Novak explains otherwise in a column titled 'How Not to Run for Vice President.' As a nonconservative, I know I can't do justice to Novak's 'logic' by summarizing it, and I suspect many readers would think I was taking his argument out of context, since it seems so ... well ... judge for yours ...

Mate? ... Check Ralph Nader chooses running mate		28 Feb 2008	News
Posted at 11:32 AM on 28 Feb 2008 Ralph Nader has chosen former San Francisco City Supervisor Matt Gonzalez as a running mate for his 2008 presidential bid. Gonzalez was elected as a San Francisco supervisor in 2000 -- the first Green Party candidate to hold the job. In 2003, Gonzalez narrowly lost a bid for San Francisco mayor to Gavin Newsom, the current SF mayor. Gonzalez, at 42-years-old, provides a relatively youthful infusion to the Nader ti ...

Is Obama's climate plan missing something? The Washington Post lamely attacks Obama's climate ideas	Joseph Romm	27 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Post columnist Sebastian Mallaby, in an absurdly titled column, 'Obama's Missing Ideas,' proves once again that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Obama's ideas about climate solutions are probably the very last place one can find something missing. Obama has a terrific climate plan, full of winning ideas, as I have blogged many times. Yet Mallaby claims that 'good ideas are actually quite scarce. Just take a look at climate change.' Mallaby's 'case' is based ...

"I helped to pass legislation to begin a training program for green collar jobs. I want to see people throughout Ohio being trained to do the work that will put solar panels on roofs, install wind turbines, do geothermal, take advantage of biofuels, and I know that if we had put $5 billion into the stimulus package to really invest in the training and the tax incentives that would have created those jobs as the Democrats w ...

Crist	David Roberts	26 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Florida governor Charlie Crist is arguably greener than John McCain, and is often discussed as a possible running mate.Here he is kissing McCain's ass, conspicuously failing to deny that he's being considered for the VP slot, conspicuously failing to say he wouldn't take it, and listing the three major issues for the general campaign (climate doesn't make the cut -- would it for McCain?):

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? ...
