Highlights from the second US presidential debate on environmental issues. Obama set a ten year goal to eliminate Americans dependancy on foreign oil.

In a web-based publication, Environment America found that Barack Obama's votes in the U.S. Senate will save Americans $26 billion each year at the pump and enough energy by 2020 to power 26 million American homes - nearly enough power for every household in all eight Great Lakes states.

Catch up on the environmental mentions from last night's Presidential Deabte in Mississippi.

In an effort to curb Global Warming, born-again environmentalist Sarah Palin has introduced a bill enacting the legal aerial hunting of humans, polar bears, or anything she deems “pesky and liberal.”

Though I wish the GOP was progressive enough to have a woman on the presidential ticket. That is, based on merit and not merely as a political pawn. Much in the same vein, I would also love for wars to be fought with hugs and Skittles. I really don’t see that one happening either.

They SAY one thing but what have the candidates actually done? You must check this out before voting. Nice summary of the McCain, Palin, Obama and Biden on energy and the environment.

DNC Interfaith Gathering focuses on abortion and capital punishment. Where was climate change?

Far from being a promise of change, McCain's choice of Sarah Paliln for VP promises four years of environmental destruction if the pair is elected. To excerpt: "Sarah Palin, whose husband works for BP,...in her two years as governor, has lobbied aggressively to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, pushed for more drilling off of Alaska's coasts, and sued to remove the polar bear from endangered species lists"

Eat The View are urging the next President to show leadership on global issues such as climate change and food security by converting part of the White House's 18 acre grounds back into an edible landscape. Contains a fun video.

The American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) has announced their endorsement of Barack Obama for President, marking the first 2008 presidential endorsement by a major biofuels trade association, and only the second time in the ACGA’s twenty-one year history that they have ever endorsed any presidential candidate.

As a senator, McCain has long represented a state, Arizona, that would love to steal Colorado's water. But now, he wants our votes. Apparently, nobody bothered to brief the candidate who Paris Hilton called "that wrinkly, white-haired guy" that stealing Colorado's water to benefit Arizona, California and Nevada isn't as popular an idea in Colorado as it is in Arizona, California and Nevada.

Two weeks ago, the presumptive Democratic candidate for President of the United States, Barack Obama had the gall to suggest that proper tire inflation could actually reduce national gasoline consumption, thereby lowering our carbon emissions and reducing our demand for oil. Well, today several more groups were added to the growing list of organizations that stand behind Senator Obama’s claim that properly inflated tires can indeed reduce gasoline consumption.  And who else would introduce a new campaign called EcoDriving, but Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He's turned his back on the Grand Canyon, thwarts voting on key clean energy incentives.

According to a survey commissioned by Cars.com during July, about 50% of US consumers don’t believe that Obama or McCain has a magic rabbit up their sleeve that will lower prices at the pump any time soon

It isn't an easy card to play, but you will most likely be seeing the combined message in the weeks to come.  Basically, by pushing for an intricate yet easily understood plan that could kill both birds with a single stone, Obama can position himself as the man with the plan that can save the dollars now and the world in the long run.

Global warming is unquestionably the most pressing environmental issue facing whoever ends up in the White House in January 2009. Not only does climate change impact -- and in most cases exacerbate -- other environmental problems, it has even wider implications for the economy and society at large.

Globalization is a fact of modern times, and supporters of “free trade” tout it is good for the US economy and supports world peace.  Given that it will take a global effort to solve the climate crisis,

As Senator John McCain urges for more oil drilling, some in Washington still oppose lifting the ban that's been in place for 27 years.  

People all over the country stand on different sides of the argument.

But just how much oil exists offshore, anyway?

Despite all the backwards logic of the McCain campaign I am still shocked by his off-shore drilling flip flop. His reasoning borders on insanity...

 Global warming and green technologies are being discussed by both Barack Obama and John McCain in almost every speech that they give these days and is cl

As this past weekend's oil summit failed to lower gas prices, the debate on ethanol was refueled, dividing the line between McCain and Obama as they campaign for the presidency.

Who's side is he on, anyway?

God help us.

Senator McCain plans to “hijack” landmark legislation on global warming.

As the American presidential election approaches, we decided to have a look at the candidates’ stance on climate change. Is there any hope in sight? Well, it can’t get any worse that Bush’s (non)policies, so, yes, I guess there is some hope...

Three advisers to the 2008 presidential candidates describe their respective candidate's energy, environmental and climate change policies should their candidate be elected president.
