So I am writing a short response for my class on the new and comprehensive energy and climate bill crunched out by Senator John Kerry and Joe Lieberman, and here is a very good (IMO) article talking about it: http://www.grist.org/article/kerry-lieberman-climate-bill-the-details/
Very little complaints here overall. It’s not perfect (and nothing is), but our existing system is in a huge need of a major overhaul like this! It’s a giant step forward.
Here’s the official website about the bill/act: http://kerry.senate.gov/americanpoweract/intro.cfm

With these distinguished scientists? Emails sent. Fingers crossed. Awaiting reply…
No good…
“Many local fishermen have been temporarily shut down but have been hired by British Petroleum (BP) to lay oil booms in sensitive areas.”
Well that is the very least BP could do. They better be paying the fishermen healthy amounts for putting them off work in the first place!
A week and counting now… going strong. Needless to say, without opening facebook every 5 minutes (literally), I’ve been much more productive! :D Let’s see if I could keep this up until post-finals.
No matter where we are from, what our beliefs are, how we look, and why we do the things we choose to, we really aren’t so different afterall. Why the conflicts, intolerance, and sorrow?
“The only meaningful response to this man-made disaster is a man-made energy bill that would finally put in place an American clean-energy infrastructure that would set our country on a real, long-term path to ending our addiction to oil.”
So, so much truth in these words.
