Mayor Pete’s Climate Plan Has Good Coverage & A Carbon Price, But Too Little Funding
November 7th, 2019 | by Michael Barnard
Pete Buttigieg's climate action plan is not nearly as strong as Warren's, and the lack of funding puts it close to the level of Biden's at the bottom of the heap. The major saving grace is the price on carbon

A Conversation With A Conservative American About The Green New Deal

October 2nd, 2019 | by Michael Barnard
Of the DNC Presidential candidates, Harris and Warren have robust, salable climate plans. Biden's is worst, Yang's is interesting and Sanders' is unsalable. With a couple of additions, Warren's plan will be very supportable in 2020. If Biden is the candidate, major surgery will be required

Bernie Sanders’ Climate Plan: Excellent On Electrification, But Concerningly Authoritarian & Populist – #Election2020
September 28th, 2019 | by Michael Barnard
Bernie Sanders’ electrification plan is excellent but depends on potentially dangerous authoritarian populism, his transportation plan is mostly about cars for less wealthy people, his land use plan is good, but military and industry don’t get nearly enough attention. Only about half of the $16.3 trillion can be tracked to things which actually reduce climate change
Biden’s Climate Plan Is Designed To Appeal To Independents Who Don’t Think Climate Change Is Serious
September 10th, 2019 | by Michael Barnard
Biden's climate plan is good on transportation and foreign policy, land use is adequate, but won't get out the Democratic base or draw many Independents. It's a plan to not lose votes, not a plan to get votes, and it's not a sufficient plan for climate action

May 21st, 2019 | by Steve Hanley

Republican Tax Bill = $1 Trillion Lie That Will Bludgeon American Taxpayers
December 18th, 2017 | by Steve Hanley
People are jumping with joy because the federal tax credit for electric vehicles and certain incentives for wind and solar power have not been eliminated by the so-called tax reform bill Republicans are ramrodding through Congress. But beware; the good news is far outweighed by the bad. American taxpayers will be hammered by this legislation. Here is a sampling of criticism about the bill from Bernie Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, and Robert Reich

German Solar + Wind Record … Tesla Model 3 Book … Boring Machine + Electric Sled (Top 30 CleanTechnica Stories)
May 15th, 2017 | by Zachary Shahan
Crazy week last week, eh? If you got a bit too caught up in Donald Trump's shocking decision to fire FBI Director James Comey (because, apparently, Trump was sort of sick of seeing Comey discuss the FBI investigation into potential collusion between Trump's campaign team and Russia), perhaps you missed some of our top stories. Interestingly, the top story of the week got shared by Bernie Sanders on one of his Facebook pages (his US Senator page), but the big burst was thanks to a reader submitting it to reddit, where it rose to the top of the reddit homepage for quite a few people

November 12th, 2016 | by Zachary Shahan
If Democrats, Greens, and Independents are disgusted at the result of the election, and super fearful of what is to come, that could lead to an unprecedented progressive movement. Donald Trump could have been a gift that indirectly produces more good than harm. But that means three things
