Excerpt from President Obama's news conference on rising energy costs and Japan's tsunami (Friday, March 11, 2011):
"And in this year’s State of the Union address, I set a goal for America: By 2035, 80 percent of our electricity will come from a broad array of clean energy sources –- from renewables like wind and solar and homegrown biofuels, along with natural gas, clean coal, and nuclear power."
There is no such a thing as "homegrown biofuels" - I guess that is the new term for Monsanto's genetically engineered crops of corn and soy.
There is no such a thing as "Clean Coal", an other widely used term to influence the masses to think of coal as innocuous.
He mentions natural gas which is contaminating our water and our food.
And then he mentions nuclear power?
Aren't we tired and shocked to hear the same old story over and over again?
How many more tragedies like this one in Japan need to happen and how many more people need to die until we understand we need a drastic change now?
We shall look forward to 2035 except that if we continue on this path, by then, we will not be here to see it.

From Dan Jacobson, Environment California and Brian Hurd of Hands on Solar
Links to petition above and below:
If you live in California and don't know about the organization "Environment California" check it out, its a great organization, Dan Jacobson is tireless.....
"Hello Environment California members,
Over the past several years, I have been teaching photovoltaics (solar electricity) to inner city students. We cover solar technology in depth, how it works and how to install these state-of-the-art electrical systems on our homes and businesses.
Whether I am teaching other teachers or inner city youth, students are in my classes because they get it. Green energy technology is the wave of the future -- and the way to rebuild our economy is to start with clean energy. But we can't create a green economy on wishes alone. Jobs have to be created.
That's why I'm urging Sacramento to triple the amount of clean energy in California. And I'd love your support.
If we triple our goals for clean energy production that will mean utilities will start building more windmills, you'll see more solar panels on schools and government buildings, and you'll see an emerging market for new high-tech green jobs.
How did FDR end the Great Depression? He created jobs.
I teach some of the brightest and most enthusiastic students who want nothing more than to repower this state with green energy. But it takes more than rhetoric. It takes a commitment from our leaders in Sacramento.
It's time to triple our clean energy use. Tell your legislators to act:
