Greetings to my visiting friends. I use this space to comment on important subjects of the day, on the continuing evolution of my writing, my video and my photography work, to acknowledge good ideas and some good people I've crossed paths with along life's journey, and on stuff that's just plain curious or fun.

Green World Rising
A new video produced by Leo DeCaprio and Thom Hartmann shows that with existing technology, our global human society can be completely free of our dependence on coal, oil, and natural gas in about two decades.
Clean, renewable sources of energy from wind, solar, geothermal, and hydro power derived from ocean tidal forces and river currents can provide all the power the world needs without generating any atmospheric pollution. This new video, narrated by Leo DeCaprio presents that clean energy future very effectively.
The impediments to this kind of life-affirming future are not technical. We can do it with technology that is already developed. The obstacle to this kind of future is entirely political, driven by corporatists and elites who profit from the status quo and are unwilling to accept any change that threatens their income.
Bottom line: A clean energy future is imminently achievable, if the people demand it.
