As you can probably tell, I don't care too much for politics right now. However, there are certain things that we shouldn't take breaks from – namely the preservation of our environment.

So when one of many "action notices" popped up in my inbox with exciting news, I thought I would share it:

On January 18, 2007, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote to create a multi-billion dollar clean energy fund. The bill would locate the funding by eliminating billions of dollars of taxpayer subsidies to an oil industry already rolling in record profits.

There will be more energy related work for our country to do, but establishing the clean energy fund would represent a good first step in improving our national energy policy. The fund would expand the use of clean energy technologies like wind and solar power, and by further investing in biofuels, it would help reduce our dangerous dependence on oil. This kind of investment would allow our country to move closer to energy independence while at the same time protecting our nation's most cherished wild lands, including areas in Alaska like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Teshekpuk Lake.

Sound as good to you as it does to me? If so, click HERE. You will be taken to one of those handy, automatic forms that supposedly make the internet such a powerful tool of democracy (finally, a way for us to send junk mail back to politicians).

I've been gone from the internet for a while (I have a low tolerance for the blogosphere and I have to step away every so often) and I know some of you have missed me.

I've got a couple of new columns out. Give them a look if you want to read the best of the best:

MainStreet hard on vegetarians

Responsible shopping has arrived at UC

Both are certain award winners.
