“Dumb as We Wanna Be” – Thomas Friedman – April 30, 2008

Now that the Reverend Wright fiasco has been put to rest, and we get back to a substantive discussion of the issues, it is not at all surprising that Hillary Clinton and John McCain come up lacking with regard to their judgment on energy. McCain is oblivious to anything that will occur thirty days after he makes a decision, and Clinton proposes to pay for her “gas holiday” idiocy by levying a windfall profits tax against the oil companies; a ridiculous option that would never be allowed during the Bush administration or by our do-nothing Congress.

Only Barack Obama has the vision and the integrity to speak the truth about energy policy. He would include the likes of Bill Richardson, our former energy secretary, and Al Gore in his administration, and get the best people around the world to contribute to a global conservation plane that would include sharply increased use of nuclear, solar, wind and other non-polluting, sustainable forms of energy.
