My favorite enviro post on last week’s State of the Union address comes from Mark Lynas’ dazzling UK site, on which he writes:
‘First, congratulations to George Bush for facing up to the fact that America has an oil addiction problem. Any recovering addict knows that this recognition is the first step. George gets fewer marks for his touted solutions, however. First, he says, we want less oil imported and more produced at home, presumably from places like the Arctic Refuge. That’s rather like a drug addict shouting: "Change my dealer. This one’s foreign!"
