3. Short of conserving to the point of living in the dark, there's not much
Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 10:38 AM by NNadir
we can do except to support energy options which are less polluting than coal (which includes every known form or energy).

We could also agitate for a law requiring the inclusion of global warming potential in new plant applications, but that obviously would require a new administration, something for which all of us actively thirst.

If we end up with a citizen responsive gov't - and I'm optimistic that we will - then we as citizens need to be responsible about the alternatives and to be willing to make and support difficult decisions.

In spite of all the bullshit going on, it's very clear to me that the number one threat to our future has nothing to do with terrorism or war. It has to do with the climate. We all have responsibility.
