Hope, hopelessness and faith
Posted on December 30, 2009, under Uutiset, Öljyhuippu.
For those involved in issues of sustainability, peak oil, climate change, and relocalization it might be better to feel a certain hopelessness in our situation. For hope implies dependence on forces outside ourselves. Once we abandon that hope, we can get down to the tasks at hand, the tasks that need to be done–for which we need to ask no politician or government official permission–tasks that we can get started on today. In this way hopelessness concerning the current political and economic arrangements becomes an ally.

Initiative wants more legal support for clean energy
Posted on December 29, 2009, under Polttoaineet, Sekalaista, Uutiset.
A new organization called American Businesses for Clean Energy (ABCE), which in a short period of time has already attracted support from 823 companies, is calling on Congress to pass clean energy and climate legislation that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
ABCE works as an internet hub where individual companies and businesses can register their support for Congressional action, and to demonstrate the depth and breadth of business support for this legislation.
“The rapid increase in business flocking to ABCE sends a strong signal to Congress of the strong support for meaningful and effective legislation that will drive clean technology innovation, create jobs, and address the threat of global climate change. We expect to see an additional surge in our membership over the holiday period and into January”, said Christopher Van Atten, a spokesperson for ABCE.
If you are a business and would like to lend your support to this initiative, please go here.
