This actually wasn't too bad. I really don't want her as the nominee, but she handled some pretty dumb questions pretty well here.

1. I like her a lot. From this interview we see her putting her energy policy forward...

...as her main selling point. That's a good thing, because I can 100% get behind her energy policy. She's willing to take on the whole global warming oil dependence Iraq war thing as the big interconnected mess that it is.

4. What are you implying?

Hillary has corporate support, but WHAT coporations? Morgan Stanley? AOL Time Warner? We're talking about people deeply invested in alternative energy:

and aware of what's going on:

Hillary's corporate support will not interfere with her energy policy.

5. Yep, Guliani sure is a bastard.

Trailing WAY behind Hillary in fundraising, he has still raised vastly more from Oil companies. Was I supposed to get something else from this chart?

7. Where/what is her "energy policy"? This interview is the first I've heard of one.

I'll check her website. But I'll be looking at it REAL hard for solar and wind- which is far more accessible and efficient than the major corporations are letting on these days.

If that ain't in it- and only "renewable" energy like Ethanol or some other petroleum substitute- she's way off the mark.

I will open my mind to it and would actually support her candidacy if she's going in the right direction on this.

8. Her plan is pretty big.

Its hugely focused on conservation. Yesterday she posed George Bush like at a wind turbine:

But I don't know the extent of how much she plans to back wind/solar. I do know I've heard her mention biofuel as part of the short term solution, which I don't like either...But its not the heart of her plan by any means. Read about her plan here:
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/energy/
She compares her energy plan to JFKs moon landing program, its really one of the center pieces of her campaign, one of her major selling points. Its too bad more people haven't heard of it. I wouldn't support her at all without it.
