The National Republican Congressional Committee tried to air an ad attacking Rep. Perriello for supporting the bill. Only they used the discredited $3,100 "national energy tax" number and the TV station refused to air it. Oops.

Homebuilding needs to join the 21st century and apply the best, efficient technologies to lower costs and reduce energy and resource consumption.

There's much to love about carbon capture, in theory. But carbon capture continues our dependence on coal-fired power plants, and does little to change the status quo.

Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, Editor of ClimateProgress.org
Hansen can keep pushing his carbon tax if he wants to. Heck, he can argue the merits of Betamax if he wants. But trashing Waxman-Markey based on recycled myths remains ill-conceived and unhelpful.

Coal is not part of our country's clean energy future and deserves no more free rides and loopholes.

America can create millions of green jobs and combat global warming for the cost of 48 cents a day per household. That's less than most people pay for Netflix.
Frances Beinecke, 07.07.2009
President of the Natural Resources Defense Council
If we can repeal the last-minute biofuels amendments to ACES, we can instill a belief that biofuels done right can be a real, American-grown, global warming solution.

When Boehner described the climate bill as a "pile of sh*t," it sounded like he was making a veiled reference to feedlot biomass fuels, which could reduce our carbon footprint.
Carl Pope, 07.07.2009
Executive Director of the Sierra Club
The belief that a price signal on fuel purchases alone will fix our energy sector is simply unfounded. We need a strategic combination of technology, policy, and pricing to solve our energy dilemma and start curbing the climate crisis.
Dan Garodnick, 07.06.2009
New York City Councilman
New York City may seem like an unlikely candidate for the expansion of solar power. But the truth is, we have a high ceiling for solar capability and an urgent need to work towards it.
Rabbi Joshua Levine Grater, 07.03.2009
In the same week that hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets to protest a travesty of democratic values, Americans took to the streets for the death of a superstar entertainer.

A new global effort that aims to make renewable energy more accessible to every country in the world launched on July 1st.

I like fireworks as much as anyone, but the whole rah-rah America thing always seemed pretty distasteful when Bush and Cheney were running the show.

The job of the World Bank and other aid agencies is to promote innovation, and to do so in a way that helps rather than harms the environment.
Jeana Lee Tahnk, 07.02.2009
It is up to us to pass the knowledge along to our children and ensure that they start, from a much younger age than we did, adapting their lives to take care of the environment.

New York City is making progress toward environmental and climate leadership. But we have a ways to go if we want to ensure a place in top 10 green American cities lists.
John Gartner, 07.01.2009
Editor of MatterNetwork.com, focuses on the intersection of innovation and the sustainable economy.
The "curse of oil," which says that national per capita income often goes down after oil is discovered in a nation, is well documented in cases around the globe.

We're building a growing consensus that low-income communities and communities of color must have a fair stake in a new clean energy economy.

For the last 18 months, I've patiently waited for our local alternative energy company to bring their wind turbine product to market. While they work on perfecting their technology, I've decided to move ahead with a 10 kilowatt Bergey wind turbine.
Frances Beinecke, 06.30.2009
President of the Natural Resources Defense Council
As the bill moves into the Senate, we will need bold leaders to proclaim that the long-term health of our economy and planet are of greater value than the attack ads of next year's election cycle.
Dennis Markatos, 06.30.2009

Reduced emissions are not the only benefit to renewable energy. Another stark difference between fossil energy and renewable energy is the risk to workers close to the fuel from the mine to the point of use.

Hopefully we can be meat-free too.
the answer is: nope
One thing LA has is geothermal. And drilling equipment used for oil wells that can be used for geothermal wells. They could have clean unlimited energy forever with geothermal.
It will also be job free the way Liberals are running it.
And wealth free too.
LA has geothermal capabilities up it's veritable ass. They also have the well drilling equipment.
After that, its practically free, non-polluting energy forever.
