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

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.
