Today I called my congress people encouraging renewable forms of energy in the new energy bill being hashed out on the Capitol right now. Nuclear and dirty coal really aren't the kinds of energy that will power the U.S. sustainably into a hopeful future. We need solar, wind, and geothermal power that really are continuous energy and don't contribute greenhouse gases to the atmosphere pressing the climate system. We also have lots of potential to simply use less energy through making homes and manufacturing processes more energy efficient. We would be shocked to be able to cut back energy use by 40% or more simply through insulation, more efficient heating/cooling, building design, and many other intelligent designs and technologies! I believe the time is now for the U.S. to step up and lead the world to a more sustainable future and more peaceful relationship with our earth.
