Dr. Richard C. Kearney, director of the School of Public and International Affairs at North Carolina State University, is a nationally recognized authority on political science and public policy issues with a focus on environmental policy - including renewable energy, "green collar" jobs and climate change.
Kearney has published extensively on public policy and administration issues, and has been featured on MSNBC and in over a dozen print publications including the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the Miami Herald.
"Republicans are all about supply-side energy. Democrats are more about affecting the demand side," Kearney says. "I'm not sure McCain has a good grasp of cap and trade or renewables' complexities," Kearney says, "and Obama is throwing a lot of stuff out there but hasn't really set any priorities." At this point, Kearney adds, the debate has become "so tangled" that it is "almost ethereal."
Editor's Note: Kearney is available for phone and e-mail interviews. He is also available for broadcast interviews, with some advance notice, via an IP to IP connection.
