The Wisconsin Libertarian Party recently endorsed a campaign to make it possible for individual homeowners to more easily obtain electricity from solar power. The party’s stance then got publicity in Midwest Energy News, an on-line news service established in 2010 about developments in energy policy in the midwest states. From there, the story was picked up by Think Progress, which re-wrote the news story to emphasize that in this instance, the Green Party and the Libertarian Party were in agreement on an energy issue.
Now that’s a very good sign. I’ve always been thinking about the possibility of the Green and Libertarian Parties forming some sort of an alliance. Greens such as myself already agree quite a bit with the Libertarian Party in foreign policy and civil liberty issues.
Maybe we can find more middle ground in the next few years?
While I’m a Libertarian, if there’s a Green running against the duopoly I’ll gladly vote for them. We disagree on economics, but good people can disagree. 🙂
