[Southern California Permaculture] Climate

[Margie Bushman, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

here's the bottom line for me -

I'm not voting for ANYONE who doesn't mention Climate Change 
significantly in their campaigns,  whether local, state, or national 
elections - SERIOUSLY

Today on the campaign trail Hillary Clinton gave a talk with Al Gore 
(Earth in Balance author 1992; Inconvenient Truth documentary 2004, 
former US  vice president)

both spoke clearly, no messing around, whole talk focused on climate 
change, remarkable

footnote, City of Lancaster, CA with Republican Mayor and 
conservative city council, treating Climate Change as priority, 
mandatory solar panels on all new homes,
aims to be solar capital of the world, first net zero city in the 
world,  green infrastructure plan,  revitalized pedestrian enhanced 
downtown...

I've been around a long time, grew up in the sixties, came of age in 
the seventies, when we had great hopes for solar, other alternative 
energies, many of my friends involved in these kinds of projects, 
many even government sponsored.  but we became Luddites, stuck in 
19th & 20th century combustion technologies, where you blow something 
up in small chamber (engine) or large (nuclear power plant) to get 
energy,  unfortunately very dirty, dangerous & polluting.

We are too clever & smart as Americans not to move forward to 21st 
century technologies.   We are an innovative creative people, lets 
get going.  we've literally lost decades, can't waste any more time, 
whether for the planet or our economy.
