"States beat Washington to renewable energy"

"On February 21, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. John McCain of Arizona called for California's new low-carbon fuel standard, meant to cut the carbon content of transportation fuels by 10 percent by 2020, to be rolled out nationwide.

"We have been working toward this commitment to renewable energy and to the environment for 30 years, and our first global climate change legislation went into effect in 1986," said Claudia Chandler of the California Energy Commission."

I applaud such efforts. I will do my part- as a global citizen.

Of course, John McCain has abstained from voting on the last 16 environmental bills going through the Senate.

Mr. Environment he is not.
