Carrying the united Republican banner is Pete Olson, a Navy veteran, native of Houston and former chief of staff to former Texas Senator Phil Gramm and current Texas Senator John Cornyn. Republican heavyweights including President George W. Bush, Gov. Mitt Romney and popular conservative Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have stood shoulder to shoulder with Olson at campaign appearances and fundraisers as he rails against Lampson as a closet liberal out of step with the district's conservative voters. Meanwhile, the Democrats have poured money into Lampson re-election efforts-the latest numbers from the Federal Election Commission showed him with...

That movement in and of itself is incredibly unique, as environmental communities in high-income countries have generally been divorced from the rest of the polity. Phil Angelides, director of the Apollo Alliance, an American energy independence project, believes that a global transition to a low-carbon economy would create jobs and over time become the primary engine of development. Angelides notes that between now and 2030, 75 percent of the buildings in the U.S. will either be new or substantially...
