Clean Energy Victory Bonds would extend proven government programs that create clean energy and jobs, including the Investment Tax Credit and Production Tax Credit, for a decade. The funds raised from the bonds would also help homeowners make energy efficiency upgrades to their homes and purchase plug-in and electric cars. The bonds will help ensure American competitiveness in the growing clean energy and transportation industries and will help create over 1.7 million jobs throughout the Unites States.

Amazon.com, the largest online retailer in the world, stopped selling dolphin and whale meat. Why can't Yahoo put the same policy in place for all its sites around the world--including Japan? The Humane Society International and Environmental Investigation Agency have not been able to convince Yahoo to change despite evidence of meat contaminated with high levels of mercury and sometimes from animals protected by the International Whaling Commission.

The Republicans have stated that we need to be energy independent, but then want to export our non-renewable energy supplies.

Energy companies that are pulling out natural gas using hydraulic fracturing leave behind known cancer causing chemicals. These companies need to justify the use of these chemicals in the process and be held accountable when this time bomb goes off.

THERE ARE 25,000 USES FOR INDUSTRIAL HEMP.

We are concerned that Trader Joe's, such a huge supplier of foods to ours and many other communities, does not follow as much sustainable guidelines as it should. I recently stopped buying milk there due to it going from cartons to plastic, which uses petroleum and is much worse for the environment. They reach a lot of people and can be a good example of more sustainable business practices. It really counts when you're so big

The poison this fossil fuel emits effects us all. No matter Where we live, it will harm us.

Powder River Coal,is going to be shipped to China,Korea,and India. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION TONS per year. Shipped by rail and barge through the great North West. One burned the whole planet will suffer.

The Archer Braid has been in the planning process for many years, but now some special interests in Haile Plantation are trying to move the trail and not connect this diverse community of 10,000 residents. This trail is in the public right of way and many in Haile support the trail, but the combined HOA boards are working to move the trail outside of neighborhood. This trail is an amenity that would increase safety, connect people with businesses, work and recreation, and would contribute to the overall health of the community.

The Koch Brothers have spent untold millions to elect and keep Gov Walker, and are holding secret meetings with Sen Rojo the Clown. How about if the one million WI workers who signed the recall petitions donated $1 each to a trust fund to buy woodland and wetlands, and demanded the Koch brothers to match what was raised since they are such good Christians and looking out for the state's best interests?

On the one hand, Americans - and humans in general - have benefited enormously from zero-emission nuclear energy. On the other hand, the waste that could plague us for millions of years combined with nuclear proliferation make it a sharp, double-edged sword. How about looking at thorium-based molten salt reactors? We can get rid of 100% of the long-term waste left over from conventional nuclear energy. Plus, with the molten salt fuel acting as its own coolant, it's not plagued by the one issue common to all the safety problems we've ever had: using very high-pressure water as a coolant. It's about the same price as coal: 2 cents per kilowatt hour. Finally, it burns up all the nasty, weapons-grade material that is harvested from conventional nuclear energy. Let's give it a shot!

On August 31, the Obama administration, over the opposition of environmental organizations, granted Shell Oil a permit to drill for oil beneath the frozen Chukchi Sea. A leak or spill in this part of the Arctic Ocean could kill thousands of marine mammals and Polar bears, yet Shell's planned oil containment ship has notified even been certified by the Coast Guard. We're calling on President Obama to revoke Shell's permit until scientific study can insure that a leak or spill can be contained and cleaned up before it kills endangered and protected Arctic species.
