Fossil Fuels vs Renewable Energy

Burning Fossil Fuels:

1. Contributes to global climate change.
2. Causes health problems such as heart disease and lung disease
3. Increases health care costs for all of us.
4. Pollutes streams, destroys forests, destroys wildlife, removes mountains.
5. Leaves the USA dependent on the whims of foreign governments that hate us.
6. Sends money back to countries that finance international terrorism.
7. Causes huge destructive fluctuations in our economy when gas goes way up.
8. Requires dangerous mining and drilling resulting in frequent deaths.
9. Requires delivery via ships and trucks that pollute and use additional resources.
10. Subject to spills which are difficult, expensive, and often impossible to clean up.


Renewable energy

1. Once Solar panels are installed they require no ongoing mining or drilling for resources. You only have to truck a solar panel once to its destination (once every thirty years).

2. Sunlight and wind are delivered to your home everyday for free by mother nature. No ships and trucks are required to deliver the energy to your home.

3. Solar panels do not give off harmful disease causing pollutants or stinky smoke while in use. Nothing is burned.

4. Installed renewables help stabilize the economy by stabilizing the price of energy.

5. Renewable energy will help clean the air and help health care costs go down.

6. Using renewable energy will mean fewer coal miners will be killed or trapped.

7. Renewables owned and operated by Americans means foreign governments will not be able to hold us hostage to their oil.

8. Renewable energy products made in Western Countries will not be sending money to terrorists.

9. Renewable energy will help turn around global climate change if we act quickly.

10. Fewer oil spills destroying eco systems will occur.

See me, Feel me, Touch me, Heal me

Forty years ago in 1969 The Who released an album called Tommy about a deaf, dumb, and blind kid, who is abused as a child and becomes a pinball wizard.

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

My sincere hope is that congress does not believe the path to enlightenment is to continue to abuse its constituents until we are all deaf, dumb, and blind, and forced to do nothing but play pinball.

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

Please do not be deaf to our requests for health care. The military continues to rake in a trillion dollars a year off of the American tax payers while 47 million Americans have no health insurance at all.

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

Please do not be dumb. Speak up for the American people you represent and pass a single payer health care system that has no preexisting conditions clause and make it available to all Americans.

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

We are not blind to the fact that the wealthy continue to become wealthier from banking ponzi scams and the military industrial complex.

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

Right behind us there are millions who can either become healthy productive members of society or become slum dogs.

Health care is a human right and it is what we all need.

Please pass a single payer health care system with no preexisting conditions for all Americans. If there are enough tax dollars to pay for torture and wars and weapons we don’t need, then there should be plenty of tax money for health care. Or please just cancel the torture and the wars and weapons effective immediately and fund health care instead.
