Obama’s second chance on the predominant moral issue of this century
Why not use the president’s tack: just talk about the need for clean energy and energy independence? Because that approach leads to wrong policies, ineffectual legislation larded with giveaways to special interests, such as the Waxman-Markey bill in the House and the bills being considered now in the Senate. The fundamental requirement for solving our fossil fuel addiction and moving to a clean energy future is a rising price on carbon emissions.
