I have been undecided up to this point in the primary, so I have had to ask myself what my priorities are and then start to look very critically at the candidates' real positions on these policies.
Off-grid, a site devoted to people like me who are trying to leave the smallest footprint possible, endorsed Obama in New Hampshire.
Their summary of his positions in this area is as follows:
"Obama has promised to implement a market-based carbon trading system to cut carbon emissions 80% by 2050; invest $150 billion in biofuels and fuel infrastructure; accelerate commercialization of plug-in hybrids; invest in low-emissions coal plants; move toward a digital electricity grid."
"The Democrat from Illinois sees energy has one of ther three most important issues — together with health and welfare, and he has introduced or cosponsored nearly 100 eco-related bills on issues ranging from lead poisoning and mercury emissions to auto fuel economy and biofuels promotion. Along the way, he’s racked up a notable 96 percent rating from the League of Conservation Voters."
