Water is one of the big coming battlegrounds world wide. A natural resource and several multinationals would love to corner the market, if they can.

With the midterm election just around the corner, now is the time to make Clean Energy part of the national agenda. The League of Conservation Voters has launched the campaign New Energy Now! to demand that Congress begin advancing energy solutions – energy efficiency, renewable energy, less global warming pollution, and protection of America's wild places from oil drilling. As a first step, they are asking our reps to support these important bills: * Higher fuel economy standards (H.R. 3762) - This bill would increase fuel economy standards from 25mpg to 33mpg by 2016. * The Energy for Our Future Act (HR 4384) - This bill calls for renewable energy and energy efficiency. If passed it would save oil, reduce energy bills, and repeal tax breaks for Big Oil. * HR 5642, the Safe Climate Act, and S. 3698, the Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act – These bills outline long-term global warming solutions by setting achievable goals for reducing greenhouse gas pollution. Ready to make clean energy part of the national agenda? Sign the petition to let Congress know that you support these important bills; they should too! thepetitionsite.com
