You’re young. You may have just started or returned to college for fall semester; maybe you’re starting senior year in high school; maybe you finished college last spring but haven't been able to find a job yet; maybe you already have a job; maybe you have nothing to do with college or a job and you are just trying to figure things out... or so many other scenarios that I don’t know about.
The world in front of you does not seem very bright right now –– the economy has tanked; BP's criminal spill must have impacted you emotionally; the climate bill failed; ongoing war in Afghanistan... the list goes on and on. I bet you’re disheartened (or worse disgusted) with politics and politicians. Possibly you're thinking of not even voting this year.
I'm writing this letter to you with all that in mind.
During the past decade, I gave lectures at the United Nations and at Universities of all sizes and reputation across the country. But I'm not a motivational speaker. And I sure am no Rilke. But I’ll try my best to inspire you to start a clean energy revolution –– yes I’m talking about a revolution.
