I'm Dying Here!

So true, and the carbon emsiosin cap in this bill will come nowhere near being effective in keeping us from going over 450 PPM in time. We are already at 390. This is why for the life of me I cannot understand why the voices of these groups aren't louder on this. As it is, industry has now been trying to make a deal whereby if any cap is passed they get a pass on mercury pollution. See, this is what you get when you expect government to do this for you. Why can't the millions spent by environmental organizations lobbying Congress be pooled together to actually go around all this political impasse in buying solar arrays and start putting them up! Why can't we as citizens invest in solar farms through organizations like this directly? Just how much longer are we going to wait for them to do the moral thing? We are running out of time to continue these petitions calls and business as usual lobbying. Oil and coal emsiosins are killing us and hurtling this planet towards irrevocable consequences. Does that not deserve a bit more in the way of noise? Please let me know when this group gets to that point, because I would be more than eager to join you. I just can't see continuing to call these people when I have been writing letters, signing petitions, and calling calling calling calling for the last twenty plus years! we have gone into a new phase regarding climate change in this year, and we can no longer afford to wait for politicians to decide when it is urgent for them to act without them feeling any political fallout from it.
