It isn't unheard of, for an entity to hire - to control random oposition.
But Tommywonk represents a ray of clean energy, as those who have been following his blog know, Tommywonk will stand in the winds and scorching sun - for clean energy.
Yet there is a history of opposition, in a state of over-development and environmental abuse, clean energy opposition (where's the wind energy?,) corporate hazardous waste stockpiles, (100% contaminated waterways;) dredge baby dredge (for fossil fuels and LNG;) climate change denial (good ridance state climatologist,) coal burning energy dominance (make NRG stop;) the Delaware nuclear radii, (the push for two more.)
Your appointment to a State clean energy position is interesting in the State of Denial, at a time when reducing greenhouse gases seems hopeless.
You represent those who know there is no choice but adding clean energy, as there is no future but to have clean energy becoming available, efficient, economical, effectively and immediately added to our energy mix. You are a voice, a spark of hope, in one greenhouse gas, polluting state, in one clean energy backward country, in a world of over population, energy greed, abuse and failing natural systems. But this is how change happens - one person, another voice, another location, another bolt of energy. And you will need an asemblage of voices behind you.
In one generation America has been transformed from a democracy into a strange new form of government, Disaster Capitalism.
Fascist America, In 10 Easy Steps ...the true function is to keep citizens docile and inhibit their activism and dissent. "Have you been in any peace marches? We ban a lot of people from flying because of that."

Environmental Failure: A Case for a New Green Politics Today’s politics will never deliver environmental sustainability. Environmentalists must join with those seeking to reform politics and strengthen democracy...progressive politics are too enfeebled and Washington is increasingly in the hands of powerful corporate interests and concentrations of great wealth. The best hope for real change in America is a fusion of those concerned about environment, social justice, and strong democracy into one powerful progressive force.
We were dizzy with a sense of liberation — the tea-party protest in this parallel universe was from the left, and the president was on board! We were taking back our country from the banksters!

The fake American empire was the Achilles heel of the real one-party state,Jonathan Schell
Every human being deserves a say in the decisions that affect his or her life and should not be subject to the will of another. Therefore, we will work to increase public participation at every level of government and to ensure that our public representatives are fully accountable to the people who elect them. We will also work to create new types of political organizations which expand the process of participatory democracy by directly including citizens in the decision-making process.
Clean Elections, Changing the Face of America
More competition, a more diverse candidate pool, more time spent with regular voters, freedom from conflicts of interest—these are among the accomplishments of Arizona and Maine’s revolutionary Clean Elections laws...
"We're loyal to America, and we won't stand by while our country, our troops, and our economy are destroyed by a war that's bankrupting us to the tune of $3 trillion," McEllrath said Thursday. "It's time to stand up, and we're doing our part today."
"The courageous decision you made to carry out a strike (today) to protest the war and occupation of Iraq advances our struggle against occupation (and) to bring a better future for us and for the rest of the world as well," according to an e-mailed statement by the General Union of Port Workers in Iraq.
We are a people in clinical depression. Americans know that the ideals that once set our nation apart from the world have been vandalized,
and no matter which party they belong to, they do not see a restoration anytime soon.
In part by their apathy, in part by their passivity, and in part actively, these same masses of people make possible the catastrophes under which they themselves suffer more than anyone else. To stress this guilt on the part of the masses of people, to hold them solely responsible, means to take them seriously.
~ Wilhelm Reich
Anyone who is waiting for the United States to just up and reform itself without agitation from third parties like the Green Party is caught in a delusion that THEY out there will change the world for the better. No, it is only we, as citizen activists, who can begin the move toward change.
Dave McCorquodale, 2005
When the news media unquestionably tolerate this increasingly converging and commonly financed Republican and Democratic duopoly, all of these anti-competitive, dreary, fat-cat-indentured political traditions become more entrenched.
Ralph Nader, Break Down Barriers to Minority Parties
"This abandonment of our faith in government to help meet the challenges we face -- social, economic, and international -- has been costly. We have shut off our critical faculties that under normal circumstances would lead us to be deeply angered by much of what's going on. Despite the events of September 11, 2001, we are less prepared for a national disaster now than we were a few years ago. Our citizens are dying in an underfunded war launched on false pretenses, and our actions have helped to unleash powerful forces that are both lethal and destabilizing. A majority of our representatives are addicted to tax cuts with no regard for their future impact. Short-sighted vested interests are at the table, constructing self-enriching energy policies instead of incentives to conserve; polluters are editing the science out of environmental protection acts."
Jared Berstein, All Together Now, May, 2006
"Without a strong, trusted, non-political voice, too many of us remain Bush-blinded."
"Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will [America's] heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit."
John Quincy Adams, July 4, 1821
