But not really. The White House held its long awaited meeting with a bipartisan group of Senators on Tuesday to discuss the prospects of climate legislation. By all accounts, it turned out to be a somewhat lackluster affair. And today we heard a speech from the President on immigration policy which suggests the next legislative priority remains up for grabs.
What continues to surprise me in all this back and forth is the lack of a coherent narrative for those who support comprehensive climate change and clean energy legislation. We have to come up with a very simple, straightforward argument for passing a bill now, not next year, or 2012, or 2013. Here's my shot at it.
We need to take action now because the science demands it, the economy needs it, technology exists to enable it, and our national security depends on it.
Let me know what you think.
