Lisa Hayes popped me an article by Denis Hayes, a man who suspiciously seems related to Lisa, “Fantastic new article by Denis Hayes about energy policy — please feel free to share far and wide!” Well, I am the biggest fan of Lisa and so here we go — my attempt to share this article a wee little further and wider: Climate Solutions: Charting a Bold Course A cap-and-trade system is not the answer, according to a leading alternative-energy advocate.

Here are 4 photos of the bags of candy and the fact sheet, The Spooky Truth, that members of the Pew Campaign for Fuel Efficiency are delivering to Members of Congress on Halloween.

This is part of the larger fight to keep the Energy Bill strong, www.energybill2007.org! Please check out The Spooky Truth Fact Sheet as well. Also, check out the letter that Tom and Ray from Car Talk wrote and signed to Members of Congress in support of aggressive CAFE Standards in the energy bill (also in PDF). If you want full-sized images of the below bags, please check out more photos here. (Via Memes.org and SMPR and Chris Abraham)

The following post was written by Lorna Li over at her blog.
