Last Friday, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, stood up for clean energy on the banks of the Duwamish River in Seattle, Washington. I joined her at the small manufacturing plant run by Imperium Energy, formerly known as Seattle Biodiesel, a company that will soon be operating the largest biodiesel plant in North America. We gathered there for a forum on clean energy and were joined by a great collection of new businesses from the Seattle area that are doing well by doing good.

Inside, the House Energy and Commerce Committee held the sixth in its series of hearings about how to tackle global warming. Just outside on South Capitol Street, the future of the auto industry pulled up and parked at the curb in the form of the first commercially available plug-in hybrid car to arrive in the capital.
