Al Franken spoke today at his campaign office to a packed room on his stance on environmental issues as well as ideas and issues he will push once he’s in the U.S. Senate. Al is staunch advocate of generating jobs in renewable energy in Minnesota and realizes the multi-faceted approach that’s needed to become more energy efficient and energy independent. He joked that there’s no “silver bullet” for solving our country’s energy woes but there is “silver buckshot.” Overall an informative and serious speech.
The event also had very tasty ice cream served with biodegradable cups and spoons, of course.
UPDATE: Eric Pusey goes into Al’s talk over at mnblue and Franken’s press release about the event.

…issues he will push if he’s in the U.S. Senate — right?

These are keen observations — when I saw Franken at the U in the fall, the crowd seemed primed for some kind of stand-up routine, but Franken worked hard to balance the humor and the details… tough job, given his background.
Enjoying your blog.
