We received a "special legislative update" in the mail today suggesting;

"We must increase our domestic energy production to reduce costs and our dependence on rouge nations for oil. Generation from solar, wind, and bio fuels, as well as nuclear, is important, but we will also need more natural gas. This means opening up the Roan plateau in Colorado, as well as the vast reserves on America's Outer Continental Shelf. We can and must work together to find real solutions to address our energy needs in an environmentally responsible way."

I emailed him suggesting that he and Congress find their fortitude and pass a truly clean energy bill that mandates clean energy and funds clean green technology as an alternative to war over oil. I also asked if this taxpayer funded mailer was made of recycled materials in environmentally friendly manner. Please contact him and let him know that Colorado's Wilderness, or Americas ocean environments are not for sale. He can be reached at Congressman Doug Lamborn, Colorado 5th . Not from Colorado? Visit http://www.usa.gov/, to contact your Representatives in Congress and ask them to protect America's wilderness whether on land or sea from being sold out to feed our unhealthy addiction to prehistoric swamp muck.

A good starting point if you have been in a cave for the last 10-20 years. Green is the way to go not only for the environment, but also to change the Geo-politics of the middle east. Imagine no war over oil.
