The U.S. Has a Real Opportunity Re: Climate Change, Energy Policy

I hope you never tire of reading my blog posts every day, as well as my occasional books, white papers, and so forth.  But if I’ve finally written something that sent you over the edge and you find yourself looking for something from someone with a similar style and a nearly identical viewpoint, you won’t be disappointed with Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. 

Here’s a piece Brune wrote today in which he offers advice to U.S. President Barack Obama, given the sweeping statements about climate change mitigation and energy policy in Mr. Obama’s State of the Union address last night.  He’s nailed it as always: these next four years represent a fantastic opportunity for the U.S. to regain its leadership position, both technologically and morally, and that opportunity is available to us to the degree that we’re willing to make a sincere commitment to changing course with our love affair with fossil fuel-based energy.
