Bobby Kennedy Jr published a compelling manifesto to the next President (click the link to go to Vanity Fair's May '08 article). The gist is the US Govt needs to go to war--on carbon, not the Middle-east. Specifically:
1. End oil & coal subsidies
2. Retool our power transmission infrastructure
3. Create a carbon cap and trade system
4. Open the electric grid to markets
5. Establish a streamlined & sensible energy efficiency program
Wouldn't it be nice if, in any future Presidential debates, candidates are asked meaningful questions and not garbage? Go here for some editorials on the debate (or lack thereof), http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-g-brant/the-abc-news-debate-as-ba_b_97261.html & http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/2008/04/abc_news_debate_focuses_on_news/. Americans have to go to the web to find the important information--and not everything on the web is valid.
