The bill was mostly progressive and earned applause from environmental groups, but there remains one major flaw. In addition to wind, solar, ocean current, geothermic, and hydroelectric power initiatives, Massachusetts is slated to pass incentives for “clean coal” power plants.One breakthrough provision in Massachusetts’s green energy bill would require a portion of electricity sold in Massachusetts to be derived from “renewable” and “alternative?...

In the era of Republican dominance, the low-information signals were really low - how Michael Dukakis looked in a tanker's helmet, whether John Kerry's favorite sports were too precious (like wind-surfing), whether Al Gore's debate sighs over his opponent's simple obfuscations were patronizing. Bill Clinton was the lone Democratic master of low-information signaling - a love of McDonald's and other assorted big-gulp appetites gave him credibility that even trumped his evasion of military service...
