The vice-presidential debates proved one thing. At the very least, Sarah Palin can be trained.
For several days, she had camped out in one of John McCain’s Arizona houses, where she underwent Debate Boot camp conducted by drill instructors who make Marine DIs appear to be slaggers.
With a few “darns,” “betchas,” and “ya”s, Palin [...]

At about 7:30am Pacific Barack Obama addressed the Clinton Global Initiative. After addressing his well known requirements of the financial bill being created in Washington D.C., he put forth other issues.
He committed, again, to a $15 Billion investment each year for 10 years, a total of $150 Billion, in energy research and development for alternative [...]

Gidget and The Geezer probably don’t lie every time they open their mouths. I’m sure that sometimes they just misspeak themselves through the rationalization that if a ton of their B.S. was screened carefully enough at least one kernel of truth would almost certainly be found. Take the situation regarding the contribution made to U.S. energy [...]

Listening to Rudy Guiliani’s speech and the RNC chanting “Drill Baby Drill” just turned my stomach. Actually everything Rudy is saying is turning my stomach.

Hey McCain, let’s look at a quote from an article entitled “All eyes on India’s nuclear prize” at P. 32 of the August 4 issue of Business Week magazine. “India hasn’t signed a treaty that created a global fund to compensate victims of nuclear disasters, so reactor-builders in India would have to shoulder the responsibility…’GE [...]

I’ll just refer to the original newstory as it’s an indepth article, however CNN is also covering this. This isn’t the only topic in the story. It comes from the International Herald Tribune.
Separately, Obama said he would be willing to support limited additional offshore oil drilling if that would help promote alternative energy sources, a [...]

Chris Bowers makes a startling proposal about offshore oil drilling and the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, as part of a longer article published at Open Left and The Daou Report:
Let’s face it: the best political strategy Democrats have had over the past eight years is to make sure that there were always enough Democrats to capitulate [...]

Business Week has an interesting short piece on the marvels and technology and new ways to be energy efficient while helping the poor who live without electricity: A Solar-Powered Night-Light for the Poor.
Imagine what creating solar powered lights in the U.S. would do for saving energy here.

For most of us this is our introduction to Tom Udall’s important campaign in New Mexico. At stake is a Republican seat that we can take and turn Democrat. We need to support this campaign and take another seat to solidify our majority in the US Senate.

Al Gore gave an impassioned speech today in Washington, “laying out his new approach to the entwined challenges of limiting risks from global warming and instability from rising energy prices and declining supplies of fossil fuels.” Watch a clip from Al Gore’s speech here:
In his speech, Gore put forth a challenge to citzens and politicians in [...]

California Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger may be more progressive on environmental issues than many of his Republican counter-parts, but this some wild fantasy, in my opinion:
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview aired Sunday that he would be open to the idea of serving as energy czar in a Barack Obama administration.
