Strike One and Two
October 30th, 2007 by Carbon CoalitionApparently it’s not as easy to “Ask Mitt Anything” as one would hope. FOTPC’s did not get a chance to ask Gov. Romney about global warming yesterday at a town hall meeting in Manchester. Romney did briefly reference energy when he mentioned the need to get off of foreign oil, but that was the extent of his climate & energy related talk.
Strike one for TPC.
FOTPC’s had similar luck with John Edwards in Exeter and were not able to ask a climate change question. Edwards even pleaded with the audience to ask a question about global warming during Q&A, but it was strike two. Edwards had this to say in his stump:
“Global warming is a crisis by any possible measure. Why have we not done anything about it? Because of the oil companies, gas companies, and power companies and their incredible presence lobbying in DC.”
One FOTPC reported that after the event she asked Edwards if he would stop mountain top removal to which he answered yes. The FOTPC shared this website and video with TPC about getting coal from mountains in Appalachia.
Look out for presidential candidates at Step It Up events this weekend. Sen. Dodd will be attending an event in Concord and Sen. Gravel will be in Manchester!
