Candidates, energy, climate change
I'm trolling the Web today from time to time, looking for what the presidential candidates are saying in Ohio and Texas about greenhouse gases. Here is an excerpt from The Toledo Blade:
He said his energy policy would put caps on the emission of greenhouse gases, “generating billions of dollars from polluters who are releasing carbons,” and then investing that money in wind, solar, biodiesel, and other green energies.
Addressing climate change and capping greenhouse gases are going to lead to ‘‘a spike in electricity costs ... we’re actually going to have to provide some help to low-income and fixed-income individuals to cover higher electricity prices on the front end.’’
And here's one from Hillary Clinton:
We also do need to lead the world toward a sound energy policy that treats global warming as the crisis it is and not science fiction. I have said that I would meet with the countries that are the biggest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions until we hammered out an agreement, hopefully within a year that would China and India who have to be part of the solution.
I'll add more later today as I find it. Otherwise, it's back to work.
... On second thought, forget it. I'm probably the only person interested in these things right now.
