That's it apparently.* No mention of the need for more nuclear in the short term at least. No mention of industry. No mention of our destructive economic system that is inherently dependent on infinite growth in a world of finite resources. No mention of globalisation & trade. No mention of population-growth. No mention of China, Russia, Canada, Brasil, Australia, etc., and that fact that nothing the US does will make a damn bit of difference without some sort of global agreement on action.
Just put a solar panel on your house, drive a Prius, and bye-bye climate-change. And everybody gets a magical pony to boot.
This folksy aw-shucks shit made me want to vomit:
I'm just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain.Uh, you're a Yale-educated lawyer, a millionaire, a former board-member of Walmart, the highly influential wife of a two-term president of the United States (who amongst other things did much to undermine existing efforts on climate change by outsourcing much of US industry to the far east and México), a former Senator of the United States, and a former Secretary of State. This lil' ole' Gran'ma me shit is starting to grate.
* There is a line in the video that hints at a coming 'comprehensive agenda', but hey, I'm not the one who released this publicly as 'Hillary's plan to curb climate change'. And if you seriously believe Hillary will take any bolder action than this, then I've got a bridge for sale.
** Just thought, hang on a minute, where are all these solar panels coming from, given that the PRC-subsidised manufacturers in China already put most US manufacturers out of business ? On a heavily polluting container-ship over the Pacific Ocean ?
