We are pulling resources from the earth in a non-sustainable way. As software is constantly being upgraded, older printers, computers and more are no longer supported and often replaced and discarded. We need more backward compatibility, upgradability and the ability to repair rather than discard.

Oil and gas companies have tax advantages from Master Limited Partnerships, that are not by law available to renewable energy developers. The MLP Parity Act would level that playing field and provide a source of investment capital for renewable energy development.

As citizens, we have a stake in the operation of the White House. After all, our tax dollars pay to heat, cool and light the place. The President had said in 2009 he would like to have solar panels on the White House. I would like for those Americans who believe in using all energy resources available start a campaign for private citizens to raise the money to be able to cover the White House's power needs. The plan would be for private donations to be taken to cover the material and labor costs. All donors would be recognized by engraving their names on the solar panel frames like some charity campaigns use when donors have their names etched in bricks for a memorial walkway. Unlike Ralph Lauren's Olympic Uniforms, every single component of the system, from the mounting bolts, to the wiring, to the solar panels and inverters would be American made. Today, Solar power is economically justified when you are planning on using it longer than 5 - 10 years. Well, the White House will be around long enough to receive the payback. Plus, it would be a great societal symbol for the country and rest of the world. For Pete's sake, the Vatican is covered with Solar and they know how to manage their money. Best regards, Rob

The Game Plan to Save Humanity

Writing-Climate Change 2/5/2013 Climate change is not just another issue. It is the issue beyond all issues. It is the turning point of the planet towards its demise - or the demise of the people and other living things upon it. To believe that it is another issue like economic justice, gay rights, legalizing marijuana, or ending the war, is to be caught in the mass hypnosis of our times. This is the most pivotal issue of existence, the impact of which will be felt for all time. We are the pivotal generation. The crime of climate change is that it is imposed on all people's of the earth. It results in huge suffering, wars, mass starvation and death. First islands will go and cities on low lying coasts. People in third world nations will be without food and water. Extreme and deadly climate events will destroy the economy, raising prices and leading to more misery. They will take the lives of many and destroy their property and livelihood. The seasons for most will become more difficult to endure. The future of our children and our grandchildren is being destroyed. We are deciding to allow the sickening and dying for the planet for all time and all beings. We cannot stand by as this happens. We must cry out in huge numbers and say: Stop! Climate change cannot be allowed and must be reversed. This is non-negotiable. We have broken our hypnosis. To risk the planet for the sake of the greed of private enterprise is not just a political position you can be for or against. It is the biggest crime ever perpetuated. It is the murder of the planet. It is a crime before which all other crimes pale. Stop! This is not the work of the moral. God does not condone this. Nor does Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammad. Allah, or any God man or woman. This is the work of the devil or the demented. It is wrong and we will not allow it." Please sign this petition and pass it on!. We are the pivotal generation. Which way it turns, and how fast, is in our hands.

We need innovative government policies to create good jobs now at the local, state and national level by establishing long overdue government policies in energy production. By establishing a well developed feed-in-tariff pricing system, which has been proven and implemented in over 80 jurisdictions around the world, the country will have the ability to make the changes necessary to be a leader in clean energy production and development which is so vital to our world right now.
