I am very concerned about our energy situation and our need for reusable energy.

Call Congress today and tell them to green the economic recovery
In his inaugural address on Tuesday, President Obama called for "bold and swift" action to fix our economy and promised to work tirelessly to "roll back the specter of a warming planet."
Our new president is right. And the only way to accomplish both of these urgent goals -- reviving our economy and taking on climate change -- is by investing in green jobs and clean, renewable energy technologies. This will no only bring our economy back from the brink, but will lay the foundation for a new, clean energy economy that works for all Americans.
Right now Congress is working on an economic recovery package reportedly worth $825 billion. Our best change to make this a "green recovery" is right now, before the fossil fuel industry lobbyists get to get and load it up with giveaways to dirty oil, coal and gas.
So your mission today, should you choose to accept it, is to call Congress and tell them to green the economic recovery package. We've made it easy for you: just click here and we'll connect you to your rep's and senators' offices in DC at no cost to you.
We have a unique opportunity right now to invest in green jobs and clean energy infrastructure, which will give our economy a jump start and invest in the fundamentals of a new, clean energy America. As Liz blogged recently, a truly effective recovery package should do three things:
- Help those that need it most
- Ensure at least $200 billion in green investments
- Invest in clean energy and steer clear of carbon
But you can bet your bottom dollar -- which you may not wanna do in this economy anyway -- that the oil, coal, gas and nuke lobbyists are already working the halls Congress furiously to shape this package. So there's no time to waste -- call your reps in Washington today!

Geothermal energy alone can produce 13,000 zeta joules, with 2,000 zeta joules of it being easily accessed. All of the countries in the entire world use up only half a zeta joule of energy a year, so if we can harness the easily accessible 2,000 zeta joules, it would be enough energy to power the entire world for 4,000 years.
Why is this not implemented?
Energy effects everything from lighting to agriculture. If we are not in peak oil now, we will be very soon. If the energy demands cannot be met, we will see famine and war on a mas scale world wide.(Which is what the NWO wants.) Not to mention, energy independence will cease the excuse for transnational corporations to rape poor countries of their natural resources (rain forests/oil) by means of war or artificial induced debt by their economic hitmen, while giving nothing to the citizens. Only building up industrial infrastructure. This is the corporatocracy in which every one of us must rally against.

It certainly will benefit America in an economically sound way if money is appropriated to finding renewable sources of energy. If we do not, America will become a third world culture with most of its citizens living in abject poverty.
