hilary's energy plan

Announced yesterday, it's being hailed as ambitious (Grist gave it an "A") but alas, isn't bold enough to include a carbon tax. In fact, none of the candidates so far has dared to propose such a tax -- they're all talking about "cap and trade" programs, which are much less straightforward and have many more opportunities for shenanigans and misfires. Hilary's plan now matches John Edwards' energy policy, announced last March. I wish someone would break out of this timid pack.
