Good. As quiet as it seems, keep leading by example, America.

As for the climate change naysayers and the fossil fuel supporters, I wonder if part of the problem is this romanticized vision they have of salt-of-the-earth people heading down into the depths of the mines with strong workers at their backs, hewing the source of wealth and energy from the very bones of the earth. Or maybe the lone rigger on horseback in the American deserts, chewing thoughtfully on that stem of wheat and gazing at the drill whirling endlessly in the light of the setting sun, before heading home to a quiet life of satisfaction in the lives they help to make all the better?

If so, we should start something similar for renewable energy....hard-faced, competent, solve-any-problem wind farmers chivvying the windmills across the endless prairies or hardworking, solid folk harvesting the sunlight to power Jimmy and JuQu's long-distance relationship across the nation? Maybe that might help?

Ah, the romance of District 12. Hunger Games touched a reactionary nerve in all of us. (I mean, what's with the nuclear powered coal mines and reaping wheat with a sickle after dark with night vision goggles?)
