Vilsack in New Hampshire
September 25th, 2006 by Carbon CoalitionIowa Governor Tom Vilsack (D) was in New Hampshire at the end of last week, talking at both Saint Anselm College and New England College (coverage here and here). Vilsack is talking up energy and climate issues under the umbrella of “energy security,” which he sees as the best way of positioning the issue to voters. In a briefing following his appearance at New England College he displayed an impressive grasp of the issues around climate change and could point to both his work in Iowa and concrete ideas he had about how the nation could address this massive problem. He is giving an address on energy security this week at the Council on Foreign Relations. The Political Climate will keep you posted.
Also in New Hampshire, the town of Temple approved the construction of a 40-foot wind turbine on Rob Wills’ and Victoria Nichols’ farm. The Telegraph’s David Brooks has this column about the complications surrounding the project.
