Global warming and America's energy future

Grist to sponsor first presidential candidate climate and energy forum

Posted by Grist at 9:53 AM on 14 Nov 2007

Haven't had your fill of the energy and environmental platforms of the presidential candidates? On Sat. November 17 at 2pm PST, Grist will be sponsoring the first-ever candidate forum focusing on the issues of energy policy and climate change, in Los Angeles. It will be webcast live on this page.

All major presidential hopefuls were invited; Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich have agreed to attend. L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will introduce the evening, Living on Earth host Steve Curwood will moderate, and questions will come from panelists Mary Nichols of the Calif. Air Resources Board and David Roberts of Grist.

The event will be presented in partnership with the League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, California League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, Center for American Progress Action Fund, NRDC Action Fund, and the Presidential Forum on Renewable Energy. Registration is full, but click here to get on the waiting list. You never know.

Correct Time?

The sign up website lists the event start time as 1:30 PM PST, not 2:00PM. (Door open 1:00PM.) Can you clarify which of those is correct?

have the rest declined?

Or are you still hoping other candidates will accept? This is awesome, by the way.

Hm ...

I've heard that doors open at 1:30pm, I've heard that doors open at 1pm. Not entirely sure. I am, however, fairly certain that the event itself kicks off at 2pm.

Great! Can We Play

This is cool. If we can't get there in person (and since there probably aren't seats left), will you be taking question online?
