Only one candidate is an eco candidate.
But as everyone knows, she eats kitties.

Both Democrats have the same clean energy goals every Democrat in congress has been fighting for, like

CO2 80% below 1990 by 2050
greencollar jobs
efficiency
55 mpg by 2030
$150 billion invested over 10 years
Renewable Portfolio Standards

yadadayada

But only one offers a plan that can get it done.
(
She chose to be on Boxer’s Environment Committee and gets endorsed by Superdelegate movers and shakers like these:

" New Jersey’s Gov. Corzine Seeks Wind Farm Off East Coast
May 9 (Bloomberg) — New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine wants his state to be the first in the U.S. Northeast to build an electricity-generating wind farm off the Atlantic coast."

"SF Mayor Gavin Newsome Invests In Tidal Power Research
Newsom announced that the City will explore the possibility of generating power from the tidal flow under the Golden Gate Bridge and launched a $150,000 feasibility study to examine the tidal energy project, which could generate up to 35 megawatts of power, according to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission."

" Rep. Jay Inslee Introduces Feed-In Tariff Legislation
Based on the feed-in tariff policy that has enabled Germany to achieve 55% of the world’s installed solar capacity and to provide 14% of its electricity supply from renewable sources, Inslee’s Clean Energy Buy-Back Act would guarantee U.S. producers of clean energy connection to the grid and predetermined rates from utilities for their power."

It is the first ever proposal in Congress that would implement what Inslee is calling a performance-based incentive (PBI) policy, also known as a feed-in tariff, which has been proven to be an effective means of increasing adoption of renewable-energy technologies in Germany, Spain, France and other countries.

(...MUCH more, very interesting point-by-point stuff....)

1. We know what he SHOULD do.

And what Edwards SHOULD have done (if he really cared so much about Health Care.)

But... we also know what they WILL do. And that is to tow the party line.

Shameful, the lack of conscience in our leaders.

2. Totally agree....

Would have liked him to take the high road, like Biden and Gore, and rally around the nominee AFTER the convention.
