I heard an interview with Van Jones, author of "The Green Collar Economy" on NPR yesterday, and for the first time in a while, I felt hopeful about the future. I heard his ideas of a path to a cleaner world with jobs that actually produce something useful, and although I don't know enough about energy to know if it's really feasible in the time we need it to be, his argument for taking this path was convincing. For sure, we won't get there easily, or maybe at all, but I am glad to know there's a possibility of something better coming.

So yes, I will join you in positive thoughts for our future!
