I caught one question on energy policy with Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean yesterday at a barbecue. Dean touted Democratic plans to support renewable energy, and cheered the inclusion of corporations like WalMart in the renewables sector.

He first responds to a question about whether the Democratic Party can win in Arizona this year, and proceeds to the energy question at 2:03.
