http://matthewyglesias.theatlantic.com/ ... phpCarping about Iraq aside, it's still good to see the good guys in charge of the congress: "Senate Democrats are seeking a major reversal of energy tax policies that would take billions of dollars in tax breaks and other benefits from the oil industry to underwrite renewable fuels." Indeed. Part of the madness of the current climate change debate is that there often seems to be little awareness of how much good we could do by simply ending our subsidies for fossil fuels and directing those subsidies to renewables at no net cost whatsoever. Moves of this nature won't be enough, but they do help, and it's a total no-brainer that we should do them.
