Why isn't the GA talking about renewable energy in the demands? The reason why we are still drilling for fossil fuels is because of corporate greed. The oil and gas industry has been buying up congress more than any other industry. Big Pharma is right behind. Protecting what little non-tainted environment we have left should be at the top of the list. Why isn't this being addressed? And how do I get this question to the GA?

The movement is attacking the root cause, corporate greed.
I'd love to see solar cells on top of every building.
If we are forming a new democracy, a new, better, safer and cleaner country, we need to have green renewable energy discussions.
The root reason that it is not on any agenda is because of Oil and Coal companies installing corporate money into the government.
We want no more corporate money in government. Let the Solar lobyists have the same power as the oil and coal lobyists, as well as the coca cola lobyists, as well as the glass bottle lobyists. No corporation should have more sway because of size. It should be the Idea that the company has that truely wins.
And the Idea that wins should have no garuntee of consistant future use either.
i agree totally. we need a deep and detailed exploration of all the issues, we need to roll up our sleeves and get to work. being in the streets is just a way to imagine we are doing something important while avoiding that work. https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150409084095833
It isn't being addressed because the corporations have the politicians in their pockets. There is no more common sense in America!
Plants make much better use of solar energy than silicon panels. Look-up chlorophyll.
Green Roofs on wal mart?
lol, That's not exactly what I meant.
Well we do need a vast change in direction in the way buildings are built in North america... In all seriousness.
Im a Architect in Canada, I see some excellent cases where a big box store incorporates density, green building practices, and awareness of surroundings, Canadian Tire for example. But Wal-mart is not the case.
What I said originally was a joke, but with more purpose. llol
I'm all for better city planning. Ever heard of Lewis Mumford?
Yes, A great man.
More relevant to this era, ever heard of James Howard Kunstler? Watch his talk below, Very funny as well as informative and he offers a perception on the overall street scape of the areas of America that "Are not even worth fighting for"

We have to prioritize the issues with urgent concern that's all. All issues are not the table.

Same thing here.
