Clark endorses Apollo Alliance (Alternative Energy) -- Huge Deal...for me

[Bread and Circus]

And it should be a huge deal for you as well.

Here is Clark's statement:

For Immediate Release
Date: January 14, 2004


Clark Applauds Apollo Alliance
"I applaud the efforts of the Apollo Alliance to combine the insight, interests and passion of our nation's labor and environmental movements. The 'New Energy for America' report released today sets forth a bold vision of a future in which clean energy and advanced technology improve the quality of life for all Americans.

Like the Apollo Alliance, I believe that government must play an important role in encouraging technological innovation. Nowhere is this role more critical than in the field of advanced energy technology. Under President Bush, the United States has lost more than 2.5 million manufacturing jobs. During this same period, greenhouse gas emissions rose, oil imports increased, and a massive section of our electricity grid fell. This pattern of neglect must end.

Advanced energy technologies like fuel cells, efficient automobiles, clean coal technologies, and intelligent electricity transmission grids are essential to ensuring America's prosperity in the 21st century. I look forward to working with the Apollo Alliance members to create a strong and secure America in which our talented labor force is hard at work building a clean and safe future for our children."

Let me repeat this line:

I look forward to working with the Apollo Alliance members...

That's what I have been looking for -- about 3 months
ago I spammed the Clark campaign w/ information about
the Apollo Alliance -- now they are recognizing it. I am
sure not because of anything I said but boy I am glad they
are on the right track.

If you don't think this is huge, think again. It may not
win Clark the nomination but it sure shows he has his mind
in the right spots.

REAL Democrats need to read this, especially if you care
about security, jobs, children, and the environment. Energy
affects it all. This piece should be illuminating. Let's
scrap the moon and mars plans, this is where we need to go:

3. Good on him.

One quibble, though: Bush ran in 2000 promoting "clean coal technology." It's also something of a misnomer; it's cleaner, but still not clean. (It's a method of pulverizing coal so it burns more efficiently. Still burning fossil fuels, though.)

4. Yeah, I am not into "clean coal" too too much, but the big pictue is ...

what I am looking at.

5. They do listen

I wrote to the campaign staff about what I thought would be an especially good endorsement and at the time they weren't considering it. But we got it. :)
