Bill Richardson in South Carolina

-- John -- 01/12/2007

On the subject of global warming, Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico is unequivocal:  "I'm the best candidate."  On his decision to run for president, he was a bit more circumspect, telling Conservation Voters of South Carolina members on January 12 that he will announce in two weeks.  Governor Richardson is spending the weekend in South Carolina to meet with potential supporters and speak at the Second Annual Governors' Appreciation Dinner in Greenville, where he is the honored guest.  Along with Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, Richardson created in February of last year the Southwest Climate Change Initiative, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while promoting energy efficient technologies and clean energy sources.  You can read more about their initiative here.  Governor Richardson promises a return visit to South Carolina, and stated that finding solutions to global warming is one of his top priorities.
