Global Warming
I aggree with you on Global Warming. Danger from this problem is not eminent and therefor is ignored by our government. I am not one to bash the government. Although it has it's faults it is, in my opinion, the greatest government system ever built. That being said I have a serious problem with it ignoring Global Warming. I do have one theory though. I think that the rise in oil prices is not necessarily a bad thing. The quickest way to get a person's attention is to hit them in their wallet. There has been a new car designed called the "Hybrid." It it uses half the amount of oil that a regular car uses. Ford has followed suit and designed the new Ford Explorer to the hybrid guidlines. Demand will rise for this car and for other more energy efficient cars. There was a car on a morning show a few months ago that was completely electric. It had some kinks to be worked out, but bottom line it's working. I know we have more than just auto polution, but it is a start. I don't mind the high oil prices for this one reason only. I haven't gotten angry about it or not fueled on May 25th so we could hit the oil companies. I'm just sitting back and hoping this will have a side effect that will help solve Global Warming.

The #1 Issue facing Michigan, the U.S., and the World
I believe that Global Warming, and the need to immediately develop energy efficiency and sustainable energy policies to address it, is the most pressing issue facing us at this time.

Nevada's renewable energy resources
Nevada has far more renewable energy resources than our candidates realize. The candidates also do not know much about the details of geothermal energy, direct solar energy, or wind energy. As a result, they cannot distinguish the value of the suggestions offered by advocates and critics, and cannot avoid being influenced by vested interests.
In the News
"...churches and synagogues across the country will preview a new climate-change documentary, "The Great Warming," during the next few weeks before it opens in theaters in early November. Those who see the film can then contact their state's congressional candidates via the Web site, www.questionsforcandidates.org, and create customized questionnaires for candidates whose responses are tracked online."
