1. Wonderful news

-Russell Peterson, former Governor of Delaware and one-time president of the National Audubon Society

-Earth Policy Institute founder and president Lester Brown

-former EPA Deputy Administrator W. Michael McCabe

Interesting:

Brown described an encounter with former Bush administration Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill to demonstrate the extent to which politics drive Bush administration environmental policy. Asked whether, since joining the administration, he still supported imposing a tax on companies commensurate with their emissions of carbon dioxide, O'Neill responded, "If I answer that question, I probably won't have a job tomorrow."

3. This is from DELAWARE! More from the article...

WILMINGTON, Jan. 21 (OneWorld US) -- Three top environmental thinkers and advocates denounced the Bush administration's environmental record and expressed support for the candidacy of Retired General Wesley K. Clark in Delaware Wednesday morning.

"When George W. Bush took office, he became Commander in Chief of the anti-environmentalist forces in America and around the world," said Russell Peterson, former Governor of Delaware and one-time president of the National Audubon Society, at a press conference in Wilmington Wednesday morning.


"We are very, very lucky to have someone like Wes Clark to run on the Democratic ticket and lead our country. We need a higher standard of leadership in the White House," Peterson continued.
