I'm not an SA subscriber, but after seeing the politicization of anti-science that has happened over the past 7 years, it is not surprising to see a pro-science rag take a stand against that.
Also, it is not surprising to hear some people (ahem) claiming that calling for a grand solar plan is "political". Scientists would say that it is (may be) good public policy, based on the scientific awareness that continuing generation of CO2 will spell big problems for our civilization.
And well, if that ends up being a stand against the viewpoints of certain pro-oil industry, anti-science, global warming denyers (such as our current administration), then so much the better for science!
