2007Apr15: “How do our kids compete in a flatter world? How do they thrive in a warmer world? How do they survive in a more dangerous world?

But these problems are so large in scale that they can only be effectively addressed by an America with 50 green states — not an America divided between red and blue states,” wrote Thomas Friedman in “The Power of Green”, which appeared in the New York Times Magazine (IHT, 2007).
