Both Thoroughly and Liberally Marketable

  1. Biofuels? Plug-in hybrids? ‘low-emission’ coal plants? Natural gas? Shale? Nuclear Energy? (!). I disagree with Sally; Obama is so safely within the industrialist/capitalist paradigm that the label of market liberal fits him all too well. McCain makes his alliances clear enough with the easy labels of ‘market-based cap and trade system.’ He also continues to make his policy frighteningly obvious by putting the phrases ‘rapid economic growth’ and ‘effective and sustainable climate policy’ in the same sentence.
