Romm’s Got a Crush on Obama’s Energy Plan

By GreenCent

Joe Romm at Climate Progress loves Obama’s detailed “New Energy for America” plan:

This is easily the best energy plan ever put forward by a nominee of either party. … This is an aggressive, achievable, and most important of all, a necessary energy plan. Kudos to Senator Obama and his energy team. Maybe he is The One.

I definitely agree that the Obama plan’s emphasis on plug-in hybrids and increased energy efficiency shows that he understands the problem. He’s clearly pushing for un-sexy solutions beyond “drill, drill, drill” or “ethanol, ethanol, ethanol.”

UPDATE: Watch out, Paul Krugman’s got a crush too: “Now that’s more like it — a hard-hitting political speech with a solid policy proposal behind it.”
