As a Lakoffian-framing of the coming alternative energy political war,

[Guaranteed]

what do you think of the phrase "dirty energy?"

This is such a HUGE issue, and we need to get in front of it with our political framing.

I like this particular phrase, but maybe you could even come up with a better one.

[villager]

1. "Dirty energy" is good. "Death fuel?"

We definitely need to frame this first

[Guaranteed]

4. You don't think that goes too far?

The problem with framing is that you have to be careful to exhibit "objectivity"- or, a lack of personal stake- in the connotations of the frame. Otherwise, it loses credibility.

2. The tightening noose of petroleum energy

Poisoned power (nuclear reactors)

[KittyWampus]

3. As Regards Petrol Industry- I'd call them the buggy whippers

dinosaurs.

and i like dirty energy but would prefer something that implies unsafe energy or "threat to our national security energy"

[Guaranteed]

5. We could come up with something more "dangerous"....

Not "dangerous energy"...but, make use of a thesaurus...
