Kentucky--neither party's Senate candidate seems to fear CO2

EDITORIAL: Inconvenient Truth About Gas Prices

Jul. 27-- It's said that people get the elected leaders they deserve.

But surely Kentuckians deserve better than what we're getting from our two candidates for U.S. Senate.

Energy has been Topic No. 1 for both Republican incumbent Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Bruce Lunsford in recent days.

Each is using high gasoline prices to bash the other. And they have laid out energy plans that are similar (drill here, drill there, drill almost everywhere, and, oh yeah, throw in some conservation and renewable resources).

More important, neither McConnell nor Lunsford makes reducing global warming a centerpiece, or even much of a consideration, in his energy plan.
