Hey it's time for another candidate review, this time on the environment. I will be focusing on the clean air aspect of the environment as much as I can (well, as much as I can find quotes on that specific subject.
Here's Clark's plan from a speech in New Hampshire, December 9, 2004.
"We need a President who protects the public's health, not polluters' pocketbooks. We need a President who will tell the truth to the American people about the risks posed by air pollution, not one who hides data and distorts the science. We need a President who understands that clean air and a healthy economy go hand in hand.
My Clean Air Plan will improve America's health and America's economy. Compared to the Bush administration's policies, my Clean Air Plan will prevent more than 100,000 premature deaths and more than two million asthma attacks through the year 2020.
Specifically, my four-part plan will:
Set tough standards for the worst sources of air pollution, starting with electric power plants;
Crack down on corporate polluters;
Use American technology and market-based approaches to meet air pollution challenges with innovative, job-creating solutions; and
Restore trust in the environmental stewardship of the White House."
