Ten questions every presidential candidate needs to answer: (global warming)

[IChing]

1. In order to address the growing threat of global warming, scientists tell us that we need to reduce global warming emissions by an average of two percent each year through the middle of the century - achieving 80 percent reductions by 2050. Do you have a plan to meet these or other targets?

2. Ten of the biggest corporations, including BP, Duke Energy and GE, have endorsed establishing a mandatory, economy-wide national cap on carbon emissions, which they believe will provide industry the long-term certainty that they need to develop new technologies. What is your position on a national cap?

3. Studies have shown that increasing fuel efficiency to 40 mpg would save three million barrels per day-the single biggest step to reducing our dependence on oil. What is your plan to boost the fuel efficiency of America's vehicles?

4. More than 20 states have passed renewable electricity standards requiring that a certain percentage of their electricity is generated from renewables. Several have set a standard of 20 percent by 2020. What, if any, target do you support for a national renewable electricity standard?

good questions which I would like all the candidates answer
in written form.

1. I absolutely love the concept...but will it play in (pick a State)??

2. So instead they are being asked if they believe in evolution

3. Or about a '24' TV show senario.

That is why I suggested in written format. The presidential debates have been a useless
scenario of inane 30 second political sound-bites.

4. Would America be better off if Chuck Berry wrote all his songs about bicycles instead of cars?

I like questions that throw people for a loop :)
