A Green New Deal? & A New Book Out

Here's a nice, short article that puts the $700 billion economic stimulus package in perspective, in light of our pressing environmental and energy concerns. It highlights a concern that I share about the long-term viablility of this short-term solution to the economic crisis, calling for something akin to what commentators have called a Green New Deal to make real change on that front.

The article refers to a brand-new book from Van Jones that looks timely and insightful.
