It is time to begin ridding the world of nuclear weapons, not planning new designs. If the we want nuclear proliferation to end. we need to take a leadership role in removing them, persuading out allies like Israel and the UK to do the same instead of planning to use them against countries which lack them.
All countries must dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we are to avoid catastrophic consequences of climate change on nations and peoples around the world. United States has the economic ability, the knowhow and a substantial part of the population is interested in USA to take the leadership in developing sustainable and drastic solutions. The quicker we act the less painful this will be.
No new coal plants. We should be phasing out coal plants and moving at lightening speed to renewable energy. Show some urgency, vision and leadership. Make environmental decisions based on science, not on politics or information obtained from lobbyists. Be more aggressive with goals to reduce CO2 emissions. There is so much we could do today with existing technologies to create a sustainable united states, but we need the government to step in and lead massive change.
Our strength is not in advanced or high tech weaponry... but in Creativity and the Creative Cooperation that can and will empower us to lead the way into a future different from the conflicted and competitive past in every way. We have yet to fulfill the Promise of our potentially great country and now is the time for the kind and quality of leadership that will unlock that promise. Time is of the essence.
