I attended the. live earth concert at Giant Stadium, new York. A good time was had by all. Al Gore was great. Music was great. Message was great. Didn't care for the vegetarian video showing cows deficating..not effective.

It's time for Global Warming to evolve to the next level..Global Warning...the effects of thewater, energy, world health/pandemic risk, economic, terrorism/genocide crises need to be viewed as one problem..an immediate problem. Desalination and other water solutions need low cost energy.  The water crises includes sanitation and water born disease. The only way out of terrorism long term, is to "change the mix" of these issues, the largest being clean energy diversity driving energy unit costs down. Bio, gaseous, and electrical hybrids at the pump /distribution centers, solar home roofing with contributions to the grid by day and plug in electrical engines by night. An oligopy of suppliers conbined with a cartel is not a free market. It's a classic "trust" (as in anti-trust) that must be solved by the voting public. The economic crises in the world that leaves almost half the population (2.8 billion) in stress needs a comprehensive water/energy/health strategy so opportunity is within reach. Solve the global warning and you will solve global warming because clean energy provided at the 450+ quadrillion btu (1.3 trillion oil gallon equivalent) consumption level through clean choices needs massive committment and political courage. The only way to overcome the currency of lobbyists is the currency of votes. Insist on massive low cost clean energy and water. Then you'll see change. Charlie Pedersen, author
