The Green Party’s holiday gift to the Obama Administration: a plan for environmental action

“First 100 Days: Energy and Environmental Policy” (http://www.gp.org/committees/ecoaction/documents/First_100_Days.pdf) from the Green Party’s Eco Action Committee

Green Party leaders today said that Obama has the chance, when he becomes President, to take the lead on curbing global warming.  In May, 2008, the Green Party’s Eco-Action Committee (http://www.gp.org/committees/ecoaction/index.php) announced a set of recommendations for environmental actions for the first 100 days as a guide for Green presidential candidates.

Greens are now promoting the “First 100 Days: Energy and Environmental Policy” (http://www.gp.org/committees/ecoaction/documents/First_100_Days.pdf) as a plan for the Obama Administration.  “This is the Green Party’s holiday gift to the new administration — a set of policies and actions that would place the US in the lead among nations fighting the advance of catastrophic climate change,” said Wes Rolley, co-chair of the EcoAction Committee.  “After the inconclusive results of the Poznan talks, President Obama has the opportunity to put the US at the forefront by the time nations meet again in Copenhagen next year.”

“Climate experts in Poznan presented evidence that alternative energy may not be sufficient to solve the crisis.  The emphasis must shift more towards conservation, lowered consumption, and drastic reduction in car traffic.  The steps taken against global warming and to repair the current economic meltdown must include all three,” siad Mr. Rolley.

On December 10, the Green Party published six recommendations for economic recovery that included environmentally based public works, expanded public transportation, and other conservation-based measures (http://www.gp.org/press/pr-national.php?ID=152).

First 100 Days: Energy and Environmental Policy: summary of major recommendations

• No new coal fired-power plants; no new nuclear power plants; reduce by 90% the mercury emissions of coal-fired power plants by 2012; protect human health and the environment.in the disposal of coal-fired power plant wastes
