Nancy Skinner, Assemblymember 14th District, East Bay, CA across from San Francisco, is a true champion of the environment. I was fortunate to meet her at a party at the Hubculture Pavillion in the town square in Copenhagen. The party was crowded, and the only place we were able to find to do the interview was in the service hallway, which had a constant parade of cocktail servers coming back and forth from the kitchen. We talked about sub-national governments, in this case State governments, which are able to lead the country to achieve large reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, while we wait for the UNFCCC to reach a meaningful agreement, which it seems unable to do.
City and State leadership can get us where we need to go, even in the absence of Federal leadership. Ideally, we get both. Nancy Skinner did her part in helping California lead the country. Mr. President, we're still waiting for you to do your part and help America lead the world.
