Can politics cause a heart attack?
Filed Under Current Events | 3 Comments
I see so many people get caught up in “who’s the president”, and I must ask……..Is it REALLY worth it? Tim Russert died covering this crap, and I think he was a pretty cool dude, so was his death due to politics? Is it REALLY worth it? I just see so much stress in all of this, and stress kills. Almost like being part of a Clinton campaign.One would stress out over a loss, and then die while thinking about it. I **** politics. I loathe the riches telling me what is good for me. And global warming is the front of my stress factor. Is the news real or what? Why do they try to scare us? We as people have enough problems that worry us without politics and gas prices, and whether we’ll have a job tomorrow. So why does a guy like Tim die so young? POLITICS. Taxes on fuel, and the fact that there’s no GOV push for solar energy worries me. If they want us to let go of oil, then give me dough to buy solar products. Show me the money and stop playing politics.

Don’t you think the next president should proclaim “by 2015, 90% of US power will come from solar, wind?

This should be America’s #1 priority. “Free” electricity to all US citizens. A federal initiative to generate the US power needs from wind, solar, ocean currents and other alternative energy sources. By setting the goal, we can easily achieve that goal as a nation. Just as we set the goal to land on the moon… With free electricity, cars can be plugged in, instead of fueled. This initiative saves American’s a significant amount of money, it protects us from relying on foreign oil, it helps planet earth, it provides millions of new jobs. We have plenty of desert for solar panels and we are surrounded by ocean currents and tradewinds that can easily produce all the electricity we need. Now we just need a leader with a little common sense and some guts!
Of course this is not an easy task and there were plenty of people who said:
1) man will never land on the moon
2) a country will never have a national roadway sytem that connects the east and west coasts
3) TV will never catch on
4) the great wall of china can not be built
5) pyramids cant be built
6) man cant fly
and many more examples….
All great accomplishments seem insurmountable at the conception. But if the human mind can pictured it, then it is possible. I don’t know exactly how (no one does), but I am sure that a combination of nuclear, wind, solar, wave, fuel cell and other technologies can make it happen. At this point it is a matter of setting the national goal, allocating resources and not making excuses why it cant be done.
