Words of Kent Bailey

For decades, an extreme excess of money from fossil fuels has funded conflict in the Middle East. Limiting petrol-dollars would do much to stabilize the region. We can achieve this thru the peaceful, global development of renewable energy. A policy based on the pursuit of peace thru continued death and destruction will continue to fail, even if escalated to
apocalyptic proportions.
The aggressive development and export of renewable energy technology can render this Endless War economically unsustainable for America's enemies while simultaneously creating tens of millions of jobs in the United States. Reducing the demand and the price for gas and oil will also make many of the deep-water, shale oil, fracking, arctic and other marginally profitable extraction schemes no longer profitable.
And, oh by the way, we can save our grandchildren's planet in the process. HERE

Beyond individual actions, we must act collectively to reject those who reject Science and demand climate action. TECO, HART, the Tampa Bay Times and our Governor insist that CNG reduces carbon emissions when Science tells us that the fugitive methane (gas that escapes into the atmosphere without being burned) makes CNG WORSE than either diesel or coal! Methane is 80X more potent as a greenhouse gas.
