The most important panel I attended today at the Big Tent at the DNC revolved around the next energy policy of our future president. Talk about celebrity power: T. Boone Pickens was part of the panel and attendance in the Tent was the highest I've seen it all week. It was moderated by John Podesta, a former Clinton Chief of Staff. The third person on stage was Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club.
In a nutshell, the Pickens plan doesn't go far enough. It doesn't go far enough because his plan doesn't address climate change in any meaningful way. It is an energy plan and one that could be described as transitory to 100% renewable. But he doesn't present it as such. He presents it as the end game. If his plan, or something close to it, is the end game, climate change will effect us in ways we can't imagine today. Read on if you want more details.
