QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent,
hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get
all the publicity. But then--we elected them."
- - Lily Tomlin

For those not familiar with The Manhatten Project, it was a group of
scientists during World War 2, who worked at the Los Alamos Labs located
between Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, attempting and in the end
successfully building the first atomic bombs. This was a secret effort for
national security. The organization highlighted below fancies itself a new
Manhatten Project because it is focused on creating national security, but
without the secrecy or the killing. I hope you'll join me in being a part of
this very positive effort.

SMART ENERGY - A Manhatten Project For Our Time
The Smart Energy web site introduces a new Manhattan Project, one that is
right for our time and place. It is very different from the Manhattan
Project of sixty years ago. The new project is benign, not lethal. It will
involve all ages. It is public, not top secret. It will happen all across
America -- in kitchens, factory assembly lines, classrooms, architects'
offices, scientific laboratories, automobile sales rooms, shopping malls,
government agency offices, think tanks, corporate board rooms and the halls
of Congress. It will give all of us a constructive way to deal with our
anger, our grief and our post-September fears.
THE RESOLUTION
September 11th underscored America's vulnerability to unstable foreign
interests, and the need to free ourselves from a crippling bondage to
foreign energy supplies.
We can do it by using less energy to heat and cool our buildings and to
power our industries.
We can drive vehicles that use less (or no) gasoline.
We can generate electricity by the wind that blows, the sun that shines and
the heat that comes from the deep places within our planet.
We can make our own fuels from renewable sources that can be used over and
over again.
When we do all this, we will energize our economy, create new jobs an
improve our trade balance.
We will have less pollution, better health, less global warming.
We will be free to practice diplomacy based on issues other than our need
for foreign oil and gas.
We will win our freedom without damaging our wild and wonderful places,
created in the mists of geologic time and impossible to replace.
We will demonstrate how clever technology, organized by determined people,
can attain ethical goals.
We must begin. We owe it to our children and grandchildren, and to what
Abraham Lincoln liked to call "The Family of Man."
