Many of us from Occupy to  Interfaith Power &amp; Light to Greenpeace to Public Citizen are working to make this change a reality.  it is hard when the politicians and major media are bought out by these creeps, but there are millions more of us learning more of the truth every minute.

		<description><![CDATA[The fact that we have specific targets to point our fingers at offers no consolation to this student of our energy crisis. The problem is much larger than the Koch bros. They are simply the poster boys. It is only through the inaction of the majority of the population that their lobbying is as effective as it is. With few people demanding that congress and the executive institute a &quot;renewable energy&quot; policy it makes pandering to the Koch&#039;s by congress all that much easier. They will resist getting serious until WE get serious.

This issue goes way beyond the price at the pump and cannot be solved with a 2 year plan every two years. The transition to renewables is going to be difficult, expensive in the short term, take a couple of decades and be fraught with pitfalls like the issue at hand. A long term serious plan is going to be necessary. If we fail to make this revolution happen then those who survive (if any do) can look to a much diminished life style. Looks to me that for the most part we will party and bull s*$t till the revolution comes.

Good lookin out Zach,
