I may be the only person who is NOT surprised that Congress is actually continuing to act like a bunch of spoiled brats. I expected the Republicans to act like the "loyal opposition" (oxymoronic at best)...and I have three of them as my reps in the congress.

Apparently the Democrats have decided to act like children also.

I think we need to make it clear that 1.4 million people want a change in the way things are done.

What would happen if a senator got 1.4 million phone calls this week?

What would happen if a representative got 1.4 million phone calls this week?

He/She may not "come to Jesus" but his staff will have to tell him that things are getting interesting out there.

This is probably not for the faint of heart...but I have a huge surplus of roll over minutes on my cell phone and I will enjoy this.

Getting us organized was the easy part. Getting the Congress to actually do something is the hard part. Time to make them listen.

For the children...

Boone wants us to think about it. He wants us to figure out the cost to us and to our children of continuing to do nothing. He wants us to relentlessly pursue our elected officials until they are sick and tired of hearing about it. He needs us to realize that the future of our civilization is at stake. More than our economy is on the line.

The other point is that if we will do the work then the solutions we come up with will benefit our nation and then the entire world. It is not just for our children...it is for all the children...everywhere.

I watched Boone on the Daily Show last night. I think the group would have followed him out and stormed congress and the White House. Leadership creates excitement. It was electric.

CNN has a tremendous article today which challenges us to think of our relationship to oil in a unique way.

Now that the election is complete it is time for us to focus on Boone's 100 day strategy. Our job is a little harder with the economy in turmoil and the price of oil being down. We have to remember this is the point at which we failed in the 1980's. We have to keep the energy crisis at the front of the line even though the conditions have eased.

This is not a time to ease up. It is a time to RAMP UP !!! We have an opportunity to be proactive and address the matter NOW rather than wait until it becomes urgent again. We have to contact our Congress people and let the Obama people know we are watching. The cost of inaction is more financial pain. We have a chance to be ahead of the curve but the margin is small and time is short.

For the children...

I think we should be glad that Boone at least has a plan. A plan is more than I have heard from any elected official. It is easy to find all the problems that will come up. Bring on the problems. People thought JFK was nuts in 1961 for saying we would put a man on the moon in 10 years. For 5 years scientists debated the best way to get to the moon. Imagination got us an new way of thinking it through. Anyone remember what Neil Armstrong did in 1969?

"Drill, Baby, Drill" is not a plan. It is surrender. Boone has a better idea that will give us time to develop the technologies which will set us free from dependence on fossil fuels.

Boone is smart enough to know that his plan is a "bridge" to the use of more renewable energy sources. It at least gives us a place to begin.

It is time to begin the discussion and our job is to stiffen the resolve of politicians and enable the imagination of inventors and technicians. The "Dream" always comes first. Then we figure out how to implement the dream.
