Ray Ring's Western campaign speech was a start, but I
was crossing my fingers and hoping that it wouldn't be 98 percent
MORE (meaning "let's generate more electricity for more people,
using alternative energy sources") with only one brief mention of
efficiency and conservation (HCN, 1/21/08). I
also hoped it wouldn't offer the false hope we can actually make
progress on CO2 emissions while adding millions more people to the
already unsustainable population of the West. A big compliment for
the way you couched the jobs - not creating MORE jobs, in
alternative energy production, but switching from dirty
carbon-based-energy jobs to clean energy jobs. And if you are
customizing the speech for the West, what about water? You could
also easily rewrite this speech to make the focus sustainability,
and that's a message for the entire nation.

Lake Mead is going to dry up in 20 years! We'll cut the West's water AND electric supply and force a bunch of people to move back out of a fricking desert.
After that, we just need Ed Abbey's Monkey Wrench Gang to blow up Hoover Dam rather than Glen Canyon Dam.
