  Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins: Obama must strengthen green jobs provisions of #climatebill

  Great Great Stuff !!   Actually, there are more than a few of us "back to the land, flower children" (over 50) still leftover from the 70's, who supported environmental and renewable energy issues back then, and still do more fervently now.  Don't count us out yet.  We have more time and sometimes more money to help support this movement.  Repower America has opened a headquarters near me, and I am volunteering wholeheartedly.  When Organize for America, or anyone else invites me to a roundtable on Green Jobs, I'll be right there!!!

  Trains, Plans, and $13 Billion Bucks

  We all want Washington to "change" but we resist change ourselves.  A commitment to making this change in our individual lives will enable the program to work, and will ensure a better future for our country.   I agree that it will probably work better some places than others, but every little bit helps.

  The Daily Climate: Is climate change irreversible?

  I, too, have had a bit of trouble using scientific facts in my conversations with friends, especially doubters.  I have been using an argument that I think Tom Friedman used in his book, Hot, Flat and Crowded:  "What if you are wrong?"  with the following explanation. . .
  
  If the environmentalists are wrong, but we pursue clean, renewable energy and all the other good stewardship efforts, the worst that can happen is we will have new technologies (with improvements in schools and access to education), new businesses (with investment and tax incentives), new jobs (for many who are recently out of work), better health consciousness (reducing medical costs). . . the list is endless.  
  
  BUT, if the doubters and dismissers are wrong, and we do nothing . . . . the results would be disastrous. 
  
  It was a statement that moved me in a very simple, but powerful way.
