With all of the “green” efforts going on throughout the country while gaining greater attention through both the mainstream and alternative media, 2008 could potentially be the year where environmental policy will (finally) become a major campaign issue. It goes beyond hybrid vehicles and global warming–it also involves alternative fuel sources and whether our economy can survive into the future with more money being spent on imported fuel. As this and other editorials suggest, voters must begin putting pressure on their elected leaders to adopt environmental policies that have already been put into place throughout most of the world. This not only translates to the presidential race, but also for the congressional races as well as state and local elections. The environment is a national issue, but it affects all of us on an every day basis. Comments4 Comments so far |

The times are changing. It is going to take great skill to achieve significant reform and keep the economy moving forward. The next President needs to be a true leader and not someone who just postures or panders to special interests. We need quantum leaps, not phony marketing.
Well Iowa and New Hampshire are over and clearly there is a long way to go before this is settled.
From what I have seen we can dramatically effect the way we use the energy in the United States when thin panel solar cells begin to be manufactured cheaper. Applied Materials and several other solar cell companies are getting there. I think it has less to do with the politicians and more to do with the cost of alternative energy and the cost prohibitiveness of it in our homes and businesses. Our consumer supply and demand economy is beginning to get there. There are enough alternative energy companies involved in research and development as well as the government for a solution to not be too far off.
