It’s The One Issue We Must Get Right; (tell that to the President-elect).

President-elect Obama appears to be conducting his transitional organization in much the way he promised in many months of election rhetoric;  that is, he is making an effort to collect the opinions, visions and ideas of ordinary people, presumably to keep his team’s finger constantly on the pulse of everyday Americans.

We’re wondering how clean energy issues are faring in this intake of hopes, fears and observations.  For while we know that Obama maintained his emphasis on renewables development throughout the campaign and after it, we also know that energy/environmental issues don’t resonate with the average voter outside the energy field the way issues such as health care and the economy do;  it seems that the bulk of the input received by the transitional team is concerned with these latter issues.
