To Maria.

Yes the environment will get worse but not enough to cause any problems. I have no clue how old you are but lets say you were 10. by the time your 100 the global temperature will have gone up by 1 degree, and I’m seious. it is not that big a change in the temperature to do any real damage on the environment. its not such a big deal. But we do want to keep our environment safe but Obama is acting like if we don’t change now we will all die tommorow.

I think Senator Obama fully understands the importance and the commitment of the situation, as well as how delicate it all can be. Obama is very suttle and keeps to neutral territory, bending towards clean technologies, but not completely crossing the lines either. He understands how important the dirty industries are, so he keeps them, but at a high price. I don’t think it will be enough to achieve his goal of helping to put of global warming, but at the moment- what else can we do? Yeah, if i were in his place i would probably have no choice but to do the same thing, but it doesn’t leave us very satisfied. Some people asked me “will it be enough?”, and i always tried to be truthful. “No, it won’t be enough.” So, that’s that. Bam. Global Warming, i will get you i swear, but not with Obama in the house.

I hope you don’t misinterpret me. Obama is close to powerless here, but he still knows how to handle it better then McCain. Republicans just can’t do green. Period.

I think that obama is doing right about this global warming plan because if he doesn’t then slowly the environment will get worse and worse each time.

GO OBAMA!!!!

I found this quite odd. I mean why does he bother. yes the global temperatures have gone up but my small amounts (about 0.6 degrees since the early 1900s). another thing is it is called “global” warming. not everywhere on earth is getting warmer, just some places. and again in small amounts. One more thing, studies show that it was a lot hotter in the middle ages than it is today and they didn’t have cars or air polutants like we do. therfore I say global warming is mostly bogus. it is real but to have any segnifacent chenges in the climate it would take hudreds of years to be able to say that bad things are happening because the temperature is too hot.

i feel that barack obama should show us all a lesson im in sixth grade and i think that this is a good way to start with getting ride of it or a least minimizing it.it is hard for some but easy for others.over the last couple year the raising temp. from day to day has raised.

The replies on what he’s going to do is vague without any real details. It just sounds like an idea and I think we all know that big business like the oil companies and auto makers will do what they can to get in the way.

They done it before to destroy the wonderfully efficient, clean and favorable electric car- because they realized it hurts their profits. Fighting big business that’s tied into our government is hard. I don’t know if he’s going to do it… or even if he’s willing to do it.

Great article. I enjoyed reading it.

I think we need to know what our candidates stand for on the issues as well so I created a site to track presidential candidates and the first article is always the current scorecard of their political stances. Check it out. http://www.candidatepositions.com

I think it is a knee-jerk left reaction to discount carbon trading as one part of an energy strategy. I also think there is too much emphasis being placed on policy proposals coming from the candidates. None of the proposals are worth the paper it is printed on. What matters is what can be passed which is something that will be determined by the political process.

Obama has the most progressive voting record, and his biography demonstrates commitment to progressive values. I think he is the most electable and will have the strongest coattails.

Yes, when you look at the plans from all the candidates from either party, no one wants to cut consumption, but that is what needs to be done.

Yesterday Sen. Chris Dodd was in town, and I asked him about his energy policy plan. He did mention a carbon tax, and forcing automobile companes to increase fuel efficiencies. Public transportation and lowering speed limits was not mentioned in his comments to me, nor were other ways to directly lower consumption. While not specifically stated, I got a sense from him that corporate America was the evil behind all this. I specifically asked him what he was going to ask of the American people in dealing with our energy crisis, and he was vague in responding to that.
