NGN Exclusive: Interview with Iceland’s President

NGN Exclusive: Interview with Iceland’s President--Carbon to Green in one generation.


I hate to admit it but sometimes things are best said by others.
This is a short video interview with Iceland's president about clean, sustainable energy. It needs our attention so that we don't forget what we do today impacts the future to the extent that our kids may not be able to reverse the damage we've done.
Iceland went from 80 percent fossil fuel to 100 percent renewables in one generation. Even though they are a small nation is it impossible to believe that we are incapable of the same?
The election's over. We now know who the players are. We must have one voice for this one issue of energy independence. If you really think about it energy independence is also the answer to an improved economy, increased employment in the new green sector, lower home energy cost's and national security.
Contact your elected officials regularly. You can phone them, fax them, send messages on their websites, use Twitter and Facebook(many of your pol's are on these social media). It's been 40 years since the first oil crisis. In 40 years we have not been able to get these people to pass a national energy policy. And even though this was one of Obama's primary campaign issues it's looking less likely that Congress will work with him on this issue.
If you truly care about your family and the American family you can really make a difference by picking up your phone or getting on your computer and telling the DC crowd that we are here, we are listening, we are watching and we will continue to make change every 2, 4 or 6 years until the will of the people is recognized.
