Where enviros can make a real difference Learn to look down the ballot --- waaaaaay down	JMG	01 Aug 2007	Gristmill
Here's a story that's all too common: Right-wing dominated court; likes to pat itself on the back for being a 'strict constructionalist' court that, regardless of its own justices' preferences, follows the commands of the legislature expressed in the plain words of the statutes. No 'judge-made law' here, just the power of the people expressed through their elected representatives. Except not. Michigan's Environmental Policy Act gave 'any person' the right to sue o ...

Updated 22 Aug 2008 Barack Obama. Photo: Conrad Erb Photography In the early months of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, enviros were skeptical of his (now heavily qualified) support for coal-to-liquids technology and unvarnished enthusiasm for ethanol, but he earned their respect with his aggressive climate and energy plan. The plan centers on a cap-and-trade system that aims for 80 percent emission r ...

Energy and environment in the Democratic YouTube debate Lots of good answers	David Roberts	24 Jul 2007	Gristmill
I haven't watched all of the YouTube/CNN Democratic debate yet. Early reviews are good, and from what I've seen it was unusually substantive and spontaneous, but I agree with Josh Marshall that some of the cutesy videos tarnished the dignity of the proceedings a bit. There were three questions on energy and environment. How can we reduce America's energy consumption? Gravel is loopy; Dodd is solid but kinda boring; Cooper indulges in a silly gotcha. How will we ...

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 ...

Coal is the enemy of the human race: Gloating edition In which I rejoice	David Roberts	23 Jul 2007	Gristmill
Count me among those rejoicing: Citigroup analyst John Hill downgraded coal company stocks across the board in a report this week, saying that expected U.S. greenhouse gas regulations on coal, which emits more of the main heat-trapping gas carbon dioxide than any other fuel, paint a bleak outlook for the sector. Downward pressure on stock prices by a current U.S. coal oversupply could last for more than a year, he wrote. If that happens it could coincide with 200 ...

Mystery ads	David Roberts	19 Jul 2007	Gristmill
There's a series of very strange political videos out recently on YouTube. They parody Republicans, but purport to be campaign ads for Rudy Giuliani. Nobody knows who's making them, or why. So mysterious! This one's mildly amusing on global warming and oil: (h/t: reader KW)

Speaking of stupidity, the ultimate renewable resource Remember when stupidity was something to be ashamed of rather than a point of pride?	JMG	28 Jun 2007	Gristmill
The saying goes that during one of his bids for the White House, a woman told Adlai Stevenson 'Not to worry, Senator, all thinking people are with you,' to which he replied: 'But I need a majority!' Not only was Stevenson smart and quick-witted enough to make that story plausible, it suggests that the smartest candidates have always had to do a little bit of hiding their lights under a bushel. But now we live in what Vonnegut called the ultimate scary reality show: C-Stude ...

Rocky III? Salt Lake City might jump in for another term	David Roberts	21 Jun 2007	Gristmill
It's no secret that we have something of a organization-wide crush on crusading Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson. As he mentioned in our interview, his plan has been to leave politics and move into advocacy behind environmental and human rights causes. But it looks like he might be reconsidering. You see, the slate of candidates for Salt Lake mayor is pretty grim. The one truly progressive candidate, the one Rocky endorsed, may not advance beyond the primary. If h ...
