The US produces 42% of our global warming pollution from electric power generation, and this percentage is increasing every year.  Meanwhile, the efficiency of power generation has not increased since 1957.  What will your administration do to reverse this trend?

Explain your understanding of this concept in a holistic sense.  How would your administration, if elected, and our nation move to lead by example in the direction of sustainability, for energy and climate and jobs/economy of our nation-- recognizing the interdependent nature of our planet's ecology and environment?

Moving toward sustainability with hopefulness, one revolution at a time.

With a financial crisis upon us, the Forest Service is spending ungodly amounts of money (which they don't have) to watch fires burn. Over 7 million dollars was spent to watch a 37,000 acre fire burn, when it could have, and should have, been suppressed for less than $1000. This is just a tiny example of what has become commonplace this year. Will you, Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama, put an end to this destructive, wasteful, costly and illegal Wildland Fire Use (Let-Burn) program that is a plague upon our forests?
