Text Reference

Barack Obama spoke in Toledo, Ohio on Monday about his economic plan, promising five million new, high wage jobs in renewable energy.

investing in job training and job creation can not only help build a clean energy infrastructure, but it would also re-tool our manufacturing infrastructure.

Affordable Fossil Fuels Thwarting Renewables

We can only switch to an electric car-based infrastructure if we have the capacity on the grid to absorb the additional pressure created by the influx of plug-ins.

How does a climate bill become a stimulus package? It begins with our first national debate on energy supply in 30 years.

It seems so logical to combine energy, economy, and climate. Why couldn't the stimulus package funnel money into something constructive besides propping up failing banks?

Granted, there were renewable energy tax credits attached to the stimulus package as "sweeteners" but they were merely extensions of current tax credits, not part of the $700b.

THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD PURCHASE A HOME AND LET MY CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL WITH (within a mile and a half ) of his home there are 3 known terrorists against the United States. Don't think I'd be raising my children there !!!!!! But BARAK HUSSEIN MOHOMMAD OBAMA WOULD !!!!!!!!!

Education and dare I say, building more social capital. People are more likely to hold beliefs such as this if they are simply not exposed to divergent viewpoints within their own community. And like your suggestion, encouraging such linkages is a long term strategy, as opposed to a short term fix.

It is just this kind of comment that frightens me. There is no way you would purchase a home near or let your children attend school with Obama or his family?

The racist sentiment in this comment is not even thinly-veiled.

Not every Democrat, of course, is tacking on a populist course. In the northeastern Colorado district of Republican Marilyn Musgrave, which Bush carried by 57 percent and 58 percent in the last two presidential elections, Democrat Betsy Markey, an aide to Sen. Ken Salazar, is running a classic Blue Dog fiscal responsibility campaign

Markey has run a relatively quiet campaign thus far. In a CD that is blessed with such strong solar and wind resources, she has underplayed the renewable energy card.

Nonetheless, Democrats could treat green jobs as far more of a battle cry than they are currently.

The "people" are clamoring for this. Why hasn't a more lucid connection been made by the Democrats? Linking energy and the environment to economic well-being is the holy grail of environmentalism. And now seems like the best opportunity to effectively do that we've had in a long time (if ever).

The dominant ideology among this year's Democratic candidates for seriously contested Senate and House seats might be called neo-Bryanism

Neo-Bryanism. I love it!
