Hey DJNoll...you may have issues with Sen. Reid, but I fail to understand how "his lack of backbone in standing up to the Bush Administration over the last 8 years" is one of them. Reid has taken Bush to task on everything from Iraq to energy independence to judicial appointments to Yucca Mountain. Now that Reid is in a position to work constructively with our new President-elect he should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Toward the end of the discussion, Roberto Denis of Sierra Pacific Resources says he cares deeply about the environment. But I'm left wondering whether he believes that global climate change exists and, if he does, whether he believes it is a serious environmental issue. We know he cares deeply about consumers and their ability to pay their power bills (to his company), but what about the economic impacts of climate change and the costs of inaction that will eventually be born by the same consumers? Does he care about those costs?
