The Presidential Candidate With a Plan To Run the US On 100% Clean Energy

Posted by Soulskill on from the all-glory-to-the-hypnotoad dept.

merbs writes: Thus far, no other candidate has said they're going to make climate change their top priority. Martin O'Malley has not only done that, but he has outlined a plan that would enact emissions reductions in line with what scientists say is necessary to slow global climate change—worldwide emissions reductions of 40-70 percent by 2050. He's the only candidate to do that, too. His plan would phase out fossil-fueled power plants altogether, by midcentury.

    Then it's not a plan. It's just a bullshit pipe dream that he's selling you for your vote.

    Followed the link, searched for nuclear, didn't find it in the story. Closed the page.

    If you are espousing 0 emission energy in the next 35 years, and you don't mention nuclear as a necessary component, then you are lying.

    Who wouldn't rather get "free energy" from the wind, the natural flow of water, or the sun shining down on us?

    Who indeed.
