"The presidential debates ought to include summaries like this, and also questions like:

"What kind of integrated national policy to address the various environmental issues we face will you implement? Please include issues such as global warming, peak oil, peak water, peak natural gas, and peak soil in your answer."

Me thinks we need a completely different crop (no pun intended) of presidential candidates, the current one doesn't seem to have a clue or they haven't got the guts say what needs to be said.

Good Luck to all of us.

There is a whole lotta things that should be discussed at a national level - energy is just one of 'em.

So far no one has made a 'Hey, discuss these things' web site as a social web offering.
