Bill, which media outlets do you think have done a good job covering the Keystone XL permitting process? Anyone doing great work on this?

Did you have a chance to watch any of Al Gore’s 24 hour webcast last month? If so, what did you think?

Have you been following the Republican race, Bill? I had hoped that Huntsman would have attracted the support of some remaining reality-based folks in the Republican party, but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

Bill, other than being there and participating, is there anything else people can do right now to help with the November 6th event?

If Obama does ultimately end up deciding on Keystone XL based on the politics, I just don’t see the upside in approving it. While approving it depress enthusiasm in his base, it isn’t as if the oil industry or Republicans are going to suddenly support him or vote for him.

Bill, you mentioned the Occupy Wall Street events happening globally today.
Any thoughts on those that you’d like to share today?

This is a great question.
With an anthology like this, there were lots of things you *could* have included, but needed to leave out. Were there any items left on the editor’s floor that you’d like to mention?

Josh Nelson commented on the blog post FDL Book Salon Welcomes Bill McKibben, The Global Warming Reader
That’s a good way of putting it.
I also found the first section fascinating. I had read a few of those pieces but there were several I hadn’t seen.
Can you tell us about the event you’re planning for November 6th?

President Obama’s decision to undercut EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson by cancelling a long-overdue update to smog standards was a mistake on both the politics and the policy. For smart takes on the politics of this, you can read Steve Benen and Paul Krugman . For smart takes on the policy implications, read Brad Plumer , Kate Sheppard and David Dayen .

Josh Nelson wrote a new diary post: Reducing Air Pollution is Well Worth the Cost
Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA is required to protect states from sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide pollution emitted from coal plants in other states. After dragging its feet for a while, the Bush administration introduced the Clean Air Interstate Rule in 2005. Due to its over-reliance on emissions trading, the Clean Air Interstate Rule was shot [...] -
Josh Nelson wrote a new diary post: Voters Strongly Oppose Michele Bachmann’s Proposal to Abolish the EPA
Building on an idea that seems to have originated with Newt Gingrich, Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has spent the past few weeks calling for the Environmental Protection Agency to be abolished.
