  they can't do it

  I don't believe the federal government can make a serious dent in the climate change problem.  They are in bed with to many contributing sectors.  We need to stop waiting on the government to do something and just start doing it ourselves.  Obama and McCain will say anything to get the prize at this point.On Obama says will move immediately on international climate pact posted 1 year, 9 months ago 7 Responses

  a large peice

  How come not one question regarding the building industry and it's use of energy and materials was ask to any candidate?  Buildings account for 45% of the energy use in america. 40 to 50 % of the stuff we put in land fills is construction waste.  I would say the candidates that can come up with a greener building code could win over a lot of people.  

  Oh yeh she's looking to put in a solar panel system.  That would be a solution well with in anyones means.  How about a tub of caulk to make your house more air tight.  thats more with in my budget.On An interview with Hillary Clinton about her presidential platform on energy and the environment posted 2 years, 2 months ago 32 Responses

  Golf

  I bet John Makkey likes to play golf too.  I find the stores to be elitist and over the top.  As a green builder and energy consultant I can't beleive the amount of arrogant waste in both the WF and regular grociery stores.  If we really make a difference lets start building more smaller stores so we can walk to them.  Remember walking?

  concerve

  could we talk about serious concervation over how we are going to get the next batch of power.  The government could give tax credits to people who get home energy assesments. Grass roots bitch.
