Check it out, another awesome Jerry Schnoor editorial in Environmental Science & Technology. He keeps me feeling positive about whether scientists can communicate relevant and accessible commentary on public policy. Schnoor talks about the politics of writing energy legislation/regulation that would actually do something, and recommends an official ES&T-endorsed three-step plan. It’s pretty punchy. Here’s a good quote:
This year Congress debated the Climate Security Act. Last year we passed the Energy Independence and Security Act (but it hasn’t worked yet). If I wanted education reform, I’d label it the Stupidity Prevention and Security Act. But that’s a topic for another editorial.We need to have journalism awards for scientific journals. There are several good contenders in the ACS.
