Regulate global warming now, urge attorneys general

On the eve of an Obama administration, pressure is mounting to use the 1990 Clean Air Act to crack down on global warming emissions.

The Energetic General James L. Jones

It's official. Obama's choice for National Security Adviser is General James L. Jones. I must admit that of every of Obama's choices, I find this one the most compelling because of General Jones' breadth of experience. During his military career service, General Jones served as NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe and Commander of the U.S. European Command from January 2003 to February 2007. Previously, General Jones served as the 32nd Commandant of the United States Marine Corps from July 1999

Well, Obama has appointed Gen Jones as his National Security Adviser. For Gen. Jones, formerly the Marine commandant and Supreme Allied Command

Put more pressure on the energy companies

Lately, many states have passed legislation requiring utility companies to increase their renewable energy sources. They have every passed, notably without objection from the utility companies themselves. Unfortunately, these initiatives require only a certain percentage of renewables in a certain timeframe. A case must be made to rapidly advance these initiatives across the country, with a higher percentage to achieve. We cannot continue to let our energy providers use “unclean” energy sources
