(John)Edwards getting 'aggressive' on energy (Re:GW)

DES MOINES - John Edwards is in Iowa today laying out an energy "very much at the aggressive end of the scale," he said during a stop at the Statehouse.

Edwards, the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee who's campaigning to be at the top of the ticket in 2008, is calling for a cap on greenhouse gas, world leadership on reversing climate change -- including offering to share new clean energy technology with developing nations, meeting the demand for more electricity through efficiency rather than production and creating a new energy economy by investing at least $10 billion in support of research and development, business start-ups and efficient automobile technology.

After meeting with the Iowa House Democratic caucus, Edwards headed to Nevada to tour BECON, the Iowa Energy Center Biomass Energy Facility in Nevada, and a speech on his plan to reverse global warming.

His ideas on energy have evolved since visiting BECON four years ago, he said.

"This is bolder. This is a very serious, aggressive effort to deal with climate change and transform our energy economy," he said.

He's gonna do for energy what he did for health care in South Carolina. He sued doctors and hospitals out of business, claiming they caused CP births.

After that, the number of practicing OB-GYNs dropped and those that remained began to screen and refuse patients.

Ten years later, there was NO DROP in CP births.

He's the master of junk science.
Al Gore got an Oscar, Edwards got TENS OF MILLIONS.

Does this mean he's increased the number of times he tosses his head during a speech?

I collect caps of all kinds from baseball caps to trucking company caps and I don't have one of those caps.

I'm calling for one too!

He doesn't have much of a self esteem does he.

Any day now we should hear about 'Rebuilding Infrastructure' and 'Putting People First' and then make way while I jump on board.

Let's take a guess at his plan.. Alternative fuels, relying on mixtures with Ethanol. Severe restrictions on cities in their emissions of greenhouse gasses (natural sources, like huge herds of cows, will of course be exempted...)

Man, how many times do folks in Iowa have to swallow the same lies?
