Green Mom's blog

I can't resist sharing this. It's the Mayberry Solar Farm in Mt. Airy.

Pictured at the dedication are Sen. Richard Burr and Rep. Virginia Foxx. Nevermind that both vote in lockstep with the Republican anti-clean energy agenda.

Never mind that Richard Burr voted no on the tax incentives that encourage clean energy development, voted to bar EPA from regulating greenhouse gases, and introduced legislation to abolish the EPA (which employs more than one thousand North Carolinians).

Never mind that Virginia Foxx voted in lockstep with every House Republican effort in the last few months to kill off alternative energy and defang the EPA.

When it comes to a local solar farm, hey, let's cheerlead at the ribbon cutting!

Like most of you on this blog, I would expect, I get a minor mountain of email every day, proffering petitions to sign urging action on timely causes that I support, or begging for more money to fight the good fight for yet another day.

I try hard to sign what I must and give what I can. It’s getting harder for any one email to really grab me. But here's one that's both clever and timely (and not asking for money), so I thought I'd share. Now's the time, given the global urgency of the upcoming Copenhagen climate talks, and given today’s hopeful joint statement on climate issued by President Obama and Chairman Hu of China.

Blue NC friends: I created this diary this past weekend for the Daily Kos Greenroots Adopt-a-Senator for ACES Project: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/8/18/768027/-Adopt-a-Senator-for-ACES...! . It can be found at Daily Kos here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/8/30/773862/-DK-Greenroots:-Adopt-a-S... . I thought I would share it here at BlueNC to encourage everyone to keep the pressure on Kay Hagan to support the American Clean Energy and Security bill (ACES).
