Is Matt Varilek Really the AntiKristi?

Omg: did Huffington Post really just call Mitt Romney an earth hater? RT @HuffPostGreen:
Romney doubles down on planet-hating

South Dakotans appear destined to vote, not just for a white guy they don't like very much, but against a President looking unstoppable by today's numbers, who happens to be a Democrat (not to mention a guy with closer genetic ties to Mother Africa), while returning a distracted, ineffectual opposition member back to the US House just because she's a Republican in a year when that party is imploding.

Why?

Kristi Noem represents a culture of conspicuous consumption, waste, and entitlement at the expense of aquifers, watersheds: for some of the above.

Matt Varilek is a trained energy analyst, has experience abroad, and mentored under Tom Daschle among others.

Harry A. Atwater is a physicist at the California Institute of Technology and James C. Stevens is a chemist with The Dow Chemical Company. They led a partnership that developed new electronic materials without using rare earth technologies that are suitable for use in solar-energy-conversion devices. Presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society and released in NewsWise is this quote from Stevens:
The United States alone has about 69 billion square feet of appropriate residential rooftops that could be generating electricity from the sun. The sunlight falling on those roofs could generate at least 50 percent of the nation’s electricity, and some estimates put that number closer to 100 percent. With earth-abundant technology, that energy could be harvested, at an enormous benefit to consumers and the environment.
It's time for Matt Varilek to embrace President Obama and the party's platform exploring all the pathways to the regulation of carbon and if he wants interested party's endorsement as the real AntiKristi he'd better start sounding more like a Democrat.

Someone tell him he should be wearing a tie, too....
