People of conscience in our leadership in Washington have been scared off by the right and the fossil fuel lobbies. They won’t even use the term sustainability or climate change in an energy bill, which is ludicrous on its face. It completely ignores the elephant in the room that we’re all dealing with. The average American doesn’t even believe climate change is real, they think it’s all a hoax. (Washington Quotes)
