From Hillary Clinton’s most recent fundraising e-mail:
Yesterday, in my latest HillCast, I described a plan for an Apollo-like effort to make clean, alternative energy the energy of America. This plan would create a strategic energy fund to invest in developing and deploying clean and alternative energy — home grown energy.
Where have I heard that before? Ah, yes. Gov. Richardson used the phrase in his response to the State of the Union, used it on Larry King Live nearly a year ago, and has used the phrase (or “man-on-the-moon effort,” its equivalent) many times since.
It’s certainly a positive development that Sen. Clinton has recognized what we’ve known for a while: that Richardson’s ideas are the best in the race.
