There was a Presidential Forum on Global Warming and America's Energy Future hosted by Grist and Living on Earth yesterday. The Democratic contenders--absent Barack Obama--gathered to talk about their commitment to America's energy future.

Here is John Edwards' opening statement: (h/t Heather)

I think that John Edwards somewhat gets it, but it's something I'd like to see all candidates take a much stronger position on...we have an opportunity to be at the forefront of R&D to come up with green technology. Think of the industry and jobs that could be added to the American economy.

Co-sponsor Grist gives you interviews and information on all the candidates' stances on global warming and our energy future.
