The Fierce Urgency of Now

We need a growing economy to be prosperous. We need to be prosperous (not in poverty) to reduce carbon emissions. We need to reduce growth to reduce carbon emissions.

Is this not a conundrum? I CANNOT figure it out. And apparently not many other people can either. I have never heard anyone discuss, at the same time, having a growth economy and solving climate change.

Solving both problems simultaneously is the nut to crack. posted 05/12/2008 at 06:57:07

McCain Calls for 700+ New Nuclear Plants (and 7 Yucca Mountains) Costing $4 Trillion

Talk about scare tactics....

The truth is, if we had stuck with Jimmy Carter's push for fuel efficiency we wouldn't be having this war in Iraq. This recession wouldn't be happening.

Preventing drilling in ANWAR is not the problem. The problem is the oil industry and its lobbyists and their interference in the government and free market process.

America needs to be oil independent, not "foreign" oil independent. posted 05/04/2008 at 22:21:13
It's the same thing with them wanting to drill in the Arctic. How about some balance.

Howard Dean On Fox News Sunday: Your Coverage Is "Shockingly Biased" (VIDEO)

The nuclear threat from the USSR was overstated.

The situation in the middle east has been falsely reduced to whether Iran is going to nuke Israel.

It brings up the question: Does the fearmongering continue today to keep that MIC machine chugging along and to make all those military contractors wealthier and wealthier?

Is the fearmongering making Israel safe or is it just stealing money from the taxpayers? posted 05/04/2008 at 18:44:24
It was great growing up always fearing a nuclear attack from Russia. Just great. And it turns out that the cold war was mostly a figment of the MIC's imagination to get the public to go along with spending 42 cents of every tax dollar on weapons.

The cold war worked out well for military contractors. posted 05/04/2008 at 18:09:07
