I hereby propose just such an overarching message, a mere five words long: Use renewably generated electricity, efficiently, or URGE². Putting renewable electricity into plug-in cars would move to the top of any such coherent enviro agenda, and of course ethanol moves down. What doesn't should be ignored or opposed.
