Things have been good lately–but crazy.  I’ve started looking for representation for my latest screenplay, spreading the word to my acquaintances, sending the script to whoever I can, and … so far so good.  This process may take a while, but I’ve been getting good feedback from everyone who reads the script and I’m very optimistic.

No big news on the book, although this documentary has been an interesting process.  And I should have a fun day on Sunday, going to a friend’s book club.  I’ll certainly let everyone know when there’s more news to be had.

No more time to chat, but I promise to write more soon.

“We’re borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the planet. Every bit of that’s got to change…”

“Scientists have confirmed that enough solar energy falls on the surface of the earth every 40 minutes to meet 100 percent of the entire world’s energy needs for a full year. Tapping just a small portion of this solar energy could provide all of the electricity America uses. And enough wind power blows through the Midwest corridor every day to also meet 100 percent of US electricity demand.”

“When we send money to foreign countries to buy nearly 70 percent of the oil we use every day, they build new skyscrapers and we lose jobs. When we spend that money building solar arrays and windmills, we build competitive industries and gain jobs here at home.”

“Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.”

But listen to it yourself. The whole thing. Fold laundry to it. I recommend. Go to www.wecansolveit.org to hear the whole speech. Then sign the petition. And try not to spend too much time wondering how the last eight years might have turned out differently. If only… That way lies madness.
