David Roberts of Grist had a great post the other day portraying clean energy as a culture war. I think it’s highly worth a read, so I’m reposting it in full from Grist to make it easy as pie to not pass up (note: there’s also a Part II … [continued]
Yet another recent poll showed that Americans really support clean energy, across political affiliations (though, there’s clearly more support on the left).

It is very unsatisfying to have 10 or so good stories that I want to share with you each day and only be able to get to 1 or 2 of them (or sometimes 0).
