Everybody is all right really Going around the country this summer has done this crew a whole lot of good. Attending energy fairs, meeting home powered people, and seeing the energy in everyone's eyes refills and refreshes us. I sense our attitudes toward energy, environment, politics, and even life in general changing. The folks we meet are more hopeful. There is a distinct trend of "we can do it" running through the conversations. Maybe I'm seeing a generation coming of age and assuming its power. Maybe I'm seeing wishful thinking. Maybe I'm delirious... Maybe the attitude of, "yes we can solve our planet's problems" is tactical. If we don't try, then certainly we will accomplish nothing. If we think we can't, then we certainly won't. Maybe the "can do" attitude is bred from small successes, our stepping stones to today. We met and talked with many people who are living "a clean solar life". We are all trying very hard, and it's working. We are getting freer; we are making less waste and pollution. We are making changes. We are making a difference. We just want to bring this message back from our travels. "Everybody is all right really!" The bear of little brain had it right all along.
