Thanks for this Nick, I really appreciate the perspective. Here in Ohio I can definitely say that jobs are on people’s minds far more than climate, for the most part. We need to deal with that rather than getting frustrated. How do we work on stuff that’s coming up anyway (jobs, transportation, etc.) and green them in anticipation of other legislation, and as a booster for what may turn out to be less than ideal climate/energy legislation? It’s not perfect, but we need to meet peoples’ jobs needs before we expect them to come on to our very legitimate agenda. This looks like a good way forward.
