Green Girl

I found this article to be quite clear for those of you looking for a nice comparison of the three political candidates still in the running and their policies on the environment. Comparing their policies on climate change, gasoline prices, oil use, vehicle fuel economy, and biofuels, writer Chris Baltimore has compiled a handy sheet for those of you who are still unsure about who you’ll be voting for. While Clinton and Obama are nearly on point for all their policies, McCain is (not surprisingly) quite a bit more conservative in his plans for the environment. In an effort to win independent voters, McCain has been distinguishing himself from previous Republicans by including the environment in his campaign speeches; however, many environmentalists are skeptical about his conservative approach and the sincerity of his interest in green changes. You can see more on McCain’s environmental scorecard in this report from CBS and this one from The Daily Green .
