Solar Tacos

We voted in the Green Primary today. For the first time, no one gave us a hard time over requesting Green ballots. It was good to be able to vote for something we could believe in, not having to settle for the lesser of two evils. (How do you tell which is less evil?)

Afterward we went to lunch at an all solar taco restaurant. We visited Taco Burrito King, located at 5134 West Belmont. It was a gloomy, snowy midwinter day, but the King's solar array was functioning perfectly.

The taco plates were marvelous.

Peak Oil

For the last 30 years, geologists have been finding fewer and fewer oil fields. Now oil production has also begun falling. Greens believe it's time to make the switch to renewables. Click here for a primer on Peak Oil.

Global Warming

James Hansen, the NASA physicist whom Bush tried to silence, predicts we are nearing a global warming "tipping point." Click here for a primer on global warming.

Nuclear Power

Greens have opposed nuclear power from the very first. They have opposed nuclear power as inherently dangerous. Greens have also objected to the massive subsidies needed to build and operate nuclear power plants. Click here for a primer on nuclear power.
