California Energy Strategists Push for 100% Clean Energy, Without Fossil Fuels or Nuclear Power

[image error]Over one hundred key environmental and social justice organizers met Oct. 16 in San Rafael to launch a strategy for boosting California's leading role in fighting greenhouse gas emissions and bolstering jobs and environmental justice at the same time. While climate-deniers and their oil and gas industry supporters dominate Congress, states and regions already are building a clean energy economy in the so-called "blue" states where 160 million Americans live. The conference debated ways to build up this "Green Power Bloc" as the pressure builds to achieve global limits on greenhouse gas emissions. The Democracy Journal will report on the progress of this new movement, which will meet again in January. The Huffington Post article below by climate expert John Berger describes the October 16 conference proceedings.
