There's a lot of mumbling about so called "renewable energy," of course, the only problem with that being that it didn't work; isn't working and won't work to address climate change.
If I had to choose a candidate tomorrow, I would choose either Warren or Booker, because deep inside their voting records, not discussed much, are hints that they both actually get it, although they certainly wouldn't be permitted to say so during the primary season without sabotaging their chances.
Of course, Booker has no chance, but Warren increasingly intrigues me as someone who might make it. She's a policy wonk, and as such, has a mind capable of drawing the correct conclusions, much as Obama did when he hired Steven Chu.
Climate change is the most serious issue before humanity, but regrettably, in our party, there are too many people who are in the position of - I use this analogy a lot - of expert diagnostic oncologists who can tell you that you have cancer, and then recommend as treatment, a visit to a Shaman in Peru.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
