The voices of a new clean energy future – June 8,2010

The Boston Globe – “Oil spill is a sign to Congress: kick the fossil-fuel habit”

Editorial

“Beyond managing the current crisis, it is essential that the Senate pass a comprehensive energy law that steers the country in a cleaner, safer direction.”

The Economist – “The blame game: The president can’t stop oil from gushing in the gulf. But he can improve America’s energy policies”

Editorial

“The catastrophe… has provided a chance to talk about deeper problems in energy policy: to spell out to Americans the true cost of the petrol they guzzle (including all the subsidies and distortions of trade) and to push for alternatives, facilitated by a price on carbon.”
