I would vote for...

Obama purely based off of his environmental plan. I like that he's on the cases of larger corporations that have a tenancy to be big polluters. His Cap and Trade program sounds like it could really work if implemented correctly. I feel that the way he plans on auctioning off the rights to emit a certain amount of gasses is smart because the money earned from these auctions will be used in order to support the advancement of technology. This is in addition to the large sum he's said that he would set aside for further improvements on environmental development.
I like that he has specific targets for the reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions instead of ambiguous promises of eventual progress.

  1. I agree with you about voting for Obama for just about the same reasons (when it comes to energy and environment at least). I think these big companies putting out gobs of polluted crud into the air need to pay for their actions. When I think about it, why haven't they been given ultimatums before?
