The beauty of O'Malley's plan is that it is both ambitious, yet doable. No other candidate (ever) has laid out such a plan.

As for 2050, Ponder this: On her 98th birthday, my grandmother planned 3 apples trees in the back yard of her house to replace one that had been struck by lightening and one that had died. She would never see the apples from those trees. Wonder why she did that?
