If our military can do it so can we...

Yesterday's lead story about the US military converting to renewables is most encouraging and underscores that a renewables revolution is at hand and that making this transormation to pollutoin free power is in our foremost economic, health and national security interest. The aspiring goal of the armed forces is to become 50% renewable by 2020. We should more than applaud this development, we should keep pace by pushing our selves, our workplaces, our communities, our municipilaties, our states and the nation to follow the lead (settling for nothing less than of a civilian conversion of at least 25% renewable by 2020 and onward to 100% pollution free power by mid century).
