Rod Oram op-ed on NZ climate/energy policy

here.
I'm starting to like this guy more and more. His message is consistent and emminently focused on what we should do now, not after a couple more years of talking.
I feel as though he's barking into the wind, but i really hope he gets somewhere.
BTW, how do you start a national debate? do you just try and whip up a vote-winning number of the proletariat and hope the pollies end up doing what they said they would when they wanted you votes?
