As an informed, exciting and compelling presenter, Van Jones made clear that the "green collar economy" is tangible and terrific. With Jones gone we have to worry that Obama might now repeat history.

The Four Great Green Truths: we have a global crisis, it has a solution, the solution is winnable, and winning requires a "middle path" of action that is both non-violent and non-stop.

Chernobyl "can't happen here" only if the reactors are turned off before they kill again.
