Take Heart and Keep Up the Fight

-- Pete -- 10/03/2008

In the fight against global warming it is easy to get discouraged and to think that no one is doing anything to fight this scary scenario. Some would probably believe that dealing with global warming day in and day out as an organizer would be depressing. The truth is that as an organizer I get to meet and work with people from all walks of life who not only care about this issue but are doing something about it. Knowing that is encouraging.

At the University of Maryland alone there are three separate programs that are dedicated to studying and fighting climate change. These are smart and serious people and they are doing great work. There are also many individuals and citizen groups who dedicate most of their free time to fighting global warming.

Now, we need to get our elected officials on board. They are a little distracted right now but we need to keep up the good fight and support those who are fighting the good fight.

I’ve been watching the presidential debates and something caught my attention last night. When the candidates were asked if we should create a Manhattan like project or look to citizens to find energy solutions one of the candidates answered we should create a Manhattan type government project, then when a solution is found, put it out for citizens to make.  I know there are creative, good people who work for the US government, but if we limit this to a government project, couldn’t we be overlooking some great ideas.  Sometimes the best ideas sometimes come from our garages.

Actually it was Tom Brokaw who asked both candidates whether they supported a Manhattan-Project- type of energy program or only rely on the private sector. I don’t think one necessarily limits the other.
