The Candidates on the Environment

By Adam Werbach

Each of the Democratic candidates would do a superior job to President Bush at stewarding the environment. But will they get the chance? Polls show that while Americans care deeply about the environment, it’s far below their top priorities: job creation and the economy. [RETURN TO ARTICLE]

    I think you did Clark a diservice by not mentioning his “100 year vision”  where he states that “all that will matter in 100 years is the state of the envioronment and the rights you have as a citizen”

    we need a campaign to put pressure on the candidates to fight for our environment- bush has given them so much ammo to use on the issue of the environment- we need to manifest the facts on tv, newspapers, the net…

    Julio: How do you campaign for the environment, renewable energy, and against powerful corporations? I believe that our Democrats are wishy-washy on the environment. At the end they will sell-out. I am with you, but show me the way.

    I think it’s worth noting that Dean drives an SUV.

    Your remarks regarding Senator Kerry and his opposition to the Cape Wind Project in Massachusetts are inaccurate.  The proposed placement of that offshore wind farm was smack dab in the middle of the most significant sea duck and loon migration corridors.  Wind farms are generally quite a hazard to resident and migratory species of bats and birds, especially birds of prey.  There is currently no regulation in place to ensure that placement of wind farms do not kill large number of birds or bats.  Some of the recent farms on ridgetops in the SE have the highest animal kill rates of any wind farms in the country.  This not a simply solution to energy concerns in this country or the world.
