New Article from Van Jones: Speaking of “Small People”
Speaking of “Small People”
Will the Energy Bill Hurt or Help All Americans?
here’s a quote:
As we move forward, how can we ensure that legislation will bring real and tangible benefits to low-income communities? Any piece of energy legislation should protect the lowest-income consumers from higher energy bills while also creating real jobs and economic opportunities in vulnerable communities. Put another way, such proposals should minimize the pain and maximize the gain.
Quick summary: Van thinks its a step in the right direction, but not a leap. And as we’ve become fond of quoting around here lately, “you can’t cross a chasm in two jumps.”
