Fivethirtyeight.com has an excellent post that is absolutely worth sharing: There is, to say the least, a lot of jumping to conclusions about just which type of President Barack Obama is liable to be, by which I mean whether he’ll govern from the left or the center. This speculation has been principally based on his [...]
According to news reports, Barack Obama may be getting ready to jettison Daylight Savings. Turns out, according to two academics on the NYT Op-Ed page, there is little scientific proof that this reduces energy consumption. It also turns out that this practice could be wasteful, a bit annoying, and a lot of people, including Obama, [...]
This week, the auto industry was at the center of the American news cycle as the CEOs of the Big Three used their private jets to fly to Washington DC to plea for money to bail them out of the holes that they dug for themselves. A lot of pundits have used the “$70-per-hour” myth [...]
As you might have heard, Barack Obama had a meeting this week with outgoing-President George W. Bush. One of the big issues that President-elect Obama wanted the current president to act on was pushing some economic support for those in the automotive industry. There’s some real concern that one, maybe two of the Big Three [...]
One year and one day ago today, Barack Obama gave a speech in Spartanburg, South Carollina that spelled out the reasons why he was running for president. I think it’s worth revisiting, so here’s a snippet: ____ I am in this race because I don’t want to see us spend the next year re-fighting the [...]
Twenty years ago on election night, I decided to go out to the movies. I went to go see a new John Carpenter movie called “THEY LIVE,” which was a story about alien beings taking over the world, converting all of the human beings into docile puppets, and transforming the earth’s atmosphere into a toxic [...]
Barack Obama speaks out on his plan for America in this new 2-minute advertisement: I like this ad a lot. It spells what he plans to do, without dwelling in the muck and trivial nonsense that his opponent seems to thrive on.
An email landed in my email box mere minutes ago…. I’m the Web Editor at Chelsea Green Publishing, a small progressive book publishing in Vermont. We’ve been doing renewable energy, sustainable living, and progressive politics books since 1984. We recently published a book by economist Robert Kuttner titled, Obama’s Challenge: America’s Economic Crisis and the [...]
Earlier this month, Governor Sarah Palin actually praised much of Barack Obama’s energy plan. The link to the original press release was recently altered, and but luckily Google saves everything… Palin Pleased with Obama’s Energy Plan Includes Alaska’s Natural Gas Reserves Print Now Printer Friendly No. 08-135 August 4, 2008, Fairbanks, Alaska – Governor Sarah [...]
I’m amazed that the election is so close. For many people, the idea of allowing oil drilling on the coastline is looking more appealing. Watching the Olympics tonight, I saw a John McCain commercial that had hijacked some of the energy themes that Obama is promoting. I’d swear McCain used the same footage of the [...]
