Rather than try to keep the issue of climate policy from coming up, as some folks have suggested we are doing, we are putting our effort to ensure that the issue does come up on the campaign trail. In fact, here’s the question we’d love to see get asked in one of the debates: “How do you plan to help America meet its growing demand for affordable and reliable electricity while addressing the climate change issue?”

Isn’t that the question we’re all asking?

Sure, you can have a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; but if your plan means that America becomes more reliant on foreign energy resources and the cost of energy skyrockets, what kind of solution is that for the country?

We recognize that there is a shared commitment between electricity generators and those that they serve to reduce utility greenhouse gas emissions. The conversation now is about how best to do that in a way that meets the stated environmental goal, protects access to affordable, reliable energy and ensures energy security.

So let’s be as clear as possible — not only do we want the candidates to address questions regarding energy, environment and the economy, we can’t think of single more important question in the 2008 presidential debates.

CORPORATE MEDIA holding a debate between Presidential candidates.

CONGLOMERATES sponsoring that debate of Presidential candidates.

Presidential candidates arguing over who is the better CORPORATE CEO.

CORPRATISM = FASCISM!

.

The cash cannot come out of the CEO’s pay or the owners profits.

I know, cut safety items in the coal mines and make the miners pay portions of their health care that they will be responsible using that health care and trim wages and downsize the work force.

They probably fund Rush’s show to stay on the air as well.

That’s really to bad. They could have asked Obama why he’s supporting coal-to-liquids technology, only initiatied previously by the Nazi and South African Apartheid regimes.

Coal-to-liquids is really bad for global warming and Obama is a Senate leader for it.

But, hey, one more chance for the Obamites to triangulate and then play holier than thou.

CTL is really bad for global warming and Obama is a Senate leader for it.

Whoda thunk it?

Why the hell do we need our debates sponsered in the first place. Whats next? Selling the naming right to the White House?

Coal’s the friggin’ dirtiest (and most CO2-producing) fuel around.

Ya think?

Hillary and Barack were adding plenty of hot air to the atmosphere last night.

i noticed that myself….

‘Every last piece’ destroyed

Adam Candeub, now a law professor at Michigan State University, said senior managers at the agency ordered that “every last piece” of the report be destroyed. “The whole project was just stopped – end of discussion,” he said. Candeub was a lawyer in the FCC’s Media Bureau at the time the report was written and communicated frequently with its authors, he said.
