LET US IN! Keep Big Money out of Government.

George Washington did not want to have political parties. He thought they would become divisive and corrupt and fail to
represent the will of the people. Well, that was before BIG MEDIA got involved. Owned by massive conglomerates, the
"news" is no longer objective and in-depth, but carries out the
message of its biggest owners.

The environment and the economic welfare of the American
people is in dire jeopardy, yet squabbling on one side and
cowardice on the other, have created leadership that will not
take a moral stand.

I hope to change all that. I encourage every ordinary, sensible,
thoughtful person to run for office- local, PTO, state level- it doesn't matter. Petitions won't create change. Demonstrations will be censored by the mainstream media. LET US IN!

POWER PLANTS GUZZLE OUR WATER SUPPLY-Union of Concerned Scientists

The Pulse: Facts you need from experts you trustRead this issue on the UCS website.
 
 
Dear Alice,
When coal-fired or nuclear power plants make electricity, they use a lot of water. And our increasing thirst for energy is putting this country's water resources at risk. In places where freshwater supplies are scarce, this can have serious implications. A new Union of Concerned Scientists report finds that not only are power plants sucking up enormous amounts of our drinking water, but we don't even know the extent of the problem because companies aren’t accurately tracking their water usage! The good news is that there are technologies available today that can generate power with little to no water use. In a world where freshwater sources are already becoming scarce because of global warming, it's critical that we precisely monitor power plant water use and shift to low-water sources of electricity. —Karla
