<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Energy is all the rage at this year’s gathering]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by gmobus http://www.grist.org/article/dnc-the-green-scene/ Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:09:30 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/dnc-the-green-scene/1 It's good

This is a sign that people are becoming aware that there are problems to be solved. The recognition of a connection between the economy and energy is a good sign.

Next comes gaining knowledge of what the real nature of the problem is and understanding of what is feasible and, just as importantly, what isn't. Let's hope the race to 'greeness' doesn't minimize that step.

This is certainly the right direction, even if the rate is a little slow.

The day before the DNC began, there was the Green Frontier Fest with a large turnout and educational booths by Vestas, Clean Air Lawn Care, a model of a solar house, live music and speakers (Daryl Hannah, Van Jones, Mayor Hickenlooper (mayor of Denver) and more provided the entertainment. Definately a nice showcase of green business & green ways of living.

Interesting-- and thanks!  The pro-choice lobby could have a whole new life (no pun intended) by getting behind "carbon choices".... There are MANY tough decisions ahead relating to climate changes to come... why not let some people pay more to consume solar-based super vehicles... surely we can discuss this.  Try thinking in triage terms- save, leave to manage or allow to die - ActonClimate
