As Jamais Cascio over at WorldChanging (oops!) says: "Thomas Friedman in the New York Times [has been] calling for a "geo-green" agenda, making a move away from fossil fuels a national security issue. It's not because we think he's a brilliant writer so much as he's about as mainstream influential as they come; if Friedman is pushing this, it's going to be debated in the halls of power in Washington." I hope you're right, Jamais.
Anyway, Jamais points us to a blog that was nice enough to pull some of the quotes from a Friedman article from today's NYT (since it is behind the NYT pay fence), so I will point you there to get a taste. (link)
