John McCain: Roundtable 09/30/08

John McCain
Roundtable
Des Moines, IA 09/30/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: Nuclear power isnt the only answer, but if youre concerned about climate change, which I have been for many years, it certainly reduces green house gas emissions. Theres another area thats important, and thats clean coal technology. Despite what may have been said by someone else, were going to have to continue to build coal fired plants. And what we need to do though, is improve and develop the technology, clean coal technology, so we dont continue polluting and continue to contribute to green house gas emissions, which threaten our very planet. So, as we achieve energy independence, we also will eliminate or reduce the cost of energy. Offshore drilling has to be done and we have to do it now, and it can be a bridge as we exploit enormous amounts of natural gas and oil deposits off of our coasts.

John McCain: Speech 05/12/08

John McCain
Speech
Portland, OR 05/12/08

TRANSCRIPT: "And this is the proposal I will submit to the Congress if I am elected president -- a cap-and-trade system to change the dynamic of our energy economy. As a program under the Clean Air Act, the cap-and-trade system achieved enormous success in ridding the air of acid rain. And the same approach that brought a decline in sulfur dioxide emissions can have an equally dramatic and permanent effect on carbon emissions. Instantly, automakers, coal companies, power plants, and every other enterprise in America would have an incentive to reduce carbon emissions, because when they go under those limits they can sell the balance of permitted emissions for cash. As never before, the market would reward any person or company that seeks to invent, improve, or acquire alternatives to carbon-based energy. It is very hard to picture venture capitalists, corporate planners, small businesses and environmentalists all working to the same good purpose. But such cooperation is actually possible in the case of climate change, and this reform will set it in motion."

China, India, and the Global Environment - Fred Krupp

2008-10-26T15:29:27Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp discusses how the U.S. and other developed nations can influence the environmental impacts of China and India's rapid growth.

-----

Fred Krupp discusses his new book Earth: The Sequel - The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming.

The Environmental Defense Fund helped reduce acid rain in the 1990s by using market forces, and last year it played a role in the buyout of Texas utility TXU that reduced the number of planned coal-fired power plants. The advocacy group's president, Fred Krupp, believes business-friendly approaches such as carbon cap-and-trade systems are the best way to fight global warning.

His new book, Earth: The Sequel, highlights the entrepreneurs, scientists, and even a former bus driver on the Trans-Alaska pipeline, who are betting on the free market to create new wealth and build a post-carbon economy - The Commonwealth Club of California

Fred Krupp is the Executive Director of Environmental Defense, a national environmental organization that links science, economics and law to create innovative, equitable and cost effective solutions to the most critical environmental problems.

Krupp leads Environmental Defense’'s teams of scientists, attorneys, engineers, and economists in developing solution-oriented strategies to tackle a wide range of U.S. and international environmental problems including global warming; protection of endangered wildlife and ecosystems; restoration of inland, coastal and ocean habitats; elimination of environmental threats to human health; the protection of tropical rainforests.

Since Krupp joined Environmental Defense in 1984, its annual budget has increased from $3 million to more than $35 million, full-time staff has more than quadrupled from 50 to over 200, membership has expanded from 40,000 to more than 300,000, and new regional offices opened in North Carolina and Texas.

There are just two days left for entries to be submitted to the British government's competition, to make coal-fired power stations more environmentally friendly.
