Have a Facebook? Want to Take Revenge?

by joelado

Revenge for the Gulf oil spill and the Exxon Valdez, our involvement in middle eastern wars and all the other crap that comes with petroleum oil can only be gotten one way.  That way is to stop using oil. So if you have a Facebook account and you want to take revenge, one way you can do it, which will only take a few clicks on a mouse, is to help promote the movie “Revenge of the Electric Car” the new documentary from Chris Paine director of “Who Killed the Electric Car? To do this you have to click on this link http://www.facebook.com/... .  Once at the “Revenge of the Electric Car” Facebook page go to the top of the page and click the thumbs up like button. Once 10,000 people say they like the Facebook page we will all be able to see the trailer, and the promotion for the movie begins in earnest. If you really want to take revenge you will tell all your Facebook friends about the movie by clicking the “Suggest to Friends” button on the left of the Revenge page. There are other things you can do as well such as register and purchase an electric car or a Volt and say goodbye to your contribution to all that mess caused by oil.

Updated: Boulder, inspired by others, puts Utility in its place

by citizendane

Tuesday night the City Council of Boulder, Colorado took a historic step towards self-determination regarding its energy supply.  With this vote, the City of Boulder is no longer under the monopoly power of Xcel Energy.  Some key issues are still up in the air, but the power dynamics have shifted dramatically and permanently.

Boulder has taken a path that municipalities across Colorado (and perhaps the country) can follow, much as Boulder has followed the outstanding lead of Marin County, CA and Winter Park, Florida.

Jump the fold to learn how we did it and how your community can as well.
