I can remember a time when being liberal meant you were in favor of cheap energy for the working class and low-income earners. Germany goes to the polls in a few weeks. A few German politicians are starting to back away from the climate campaign.
I dunno if it’s a sea change. We just hosted an Up With People cast member from Germany. Germany prides itself on its “green” ideas and Up With People is thoroughly idealistic and a bit granola-crunchy also. Our guest took long showers and left lights on sometimes — not an imposition on us, mind you, but apparently the “green” message is weaker than its advocates hope for.
