Tell Obama Your Environmental Ideas

By admin

I got this from Team Obama:

To give you a behind the scenes look at the Transition and provide a window to how the team is approaching climate issues, we filmed this meeting of our Energy & Environment Policy Transition Team and interview with team member Heather Zichal.

Watch the video, then tell us your story, which energy and environment issues are important to you, or what actions you’d like to see an Obama-Biden administration take.

The video says how much they care, but it doesn’t have much content. (I also think that they are emphasizing transparency when debating energy to create a strong contrast with Cheney’s secret taskforce of industry insiders.)

No matter — go there and submit ideas to the “change team.” (I told them to consider carbon taxes…)

Via other emails (and the news), I am learning that there may be a little too much business as usual in the Obama team. It’s hard to say change when you appoint a bunch of past insiders, but it’s hard to do change when you appoint a bunch of neophytes. Keep up the pressure for clean government FOR the People.

Bottom Line: It’s hard to get good government, but it’s harder to get good government if people are not involved.
