Save jobs, and the planet

Dear Aaron,

Today is Earth Day, and President Obama is celebrating by visiting a wind-turbine factory in Iowa to show that we can solve our economic crisis by solving the climate and energy crises1. Congress is starting to move this week as well, and has pledged to address global warming and America's addiction to dirty energy2. But polluter CEO's are mounting a huge fight to boost short term profits by delaying the shift to low-cost, clean energy3.

On Friday we asked Obama not to wait for Congress before getting tough on climate polluters. Now we need to take the next step by getting the President to enact new pollution rules that steer our economy towards clean energy.


My response to TrueMasocialism:

Uhh...If Bush were to have done something like that, you'd be lambasting him for being "too fascist" with his "power" and for "circumventing democracy" or whatever your latest Fabian term for this crap is.

So...since you're all about socialism and (apparently) rule by the Dictator Obama rather than President Obama, I guess you'd be all for the idea of dumping the whole "market" thing and just going with straight government-controlled markets.

Well, we saw how well that worked in Russia, how quickly China figured out they should move towards more Capitalism, and how well off the North Koreans are. Yep, that works GREAT.

Morons.
