A Good Heart

Seems to me that Hilary's heart is in the right place.  Anything would be better than the Shrub.

Yet, here in California, the Democrats turned their backs on us once again by killing legislation proposed by our Republican governor that would have put solar panels on a million roofs.

I have heard two explanations for why they did it.  1) The unions wanted more money 2) the dems wanted to embarass the governor.

Neither of these help me to explain to my child why I should vote FOR the democrats (instead of against the Republicans).

Is there any issue facing us today that is larger then energy?  It touches just about everything... national security ... the economy ... global warming ... toxics ... air and water pollution.  A million solar roofs in California would have been a progressive way to deal with all these issues.

Instead it is business as usual.

Californians still have a chance to fund solar power, this time through the Public Utilities Commission.  Visit the good folks at VoteSolar.org to find out more and to support solar power.

If we, as progressives and environmentalists want the Democrats to represent us, we need to break through in the media.  Kudos to Grist for covering this.  

Lets all work together on getting CNN to pay attention as well.On Hillary Clinton joins the pack in calling for greener energy policy posted 4 years ago 4 Responses
