Please tell me that everything we have been fighting for doesn’t boil down to MONEY – That is my greatest fear – that the love of power will continue to overrun the power of love.. We HAVE to find new ways of producing heat and hydro – ways that do NOT include Killing our mother the EARTH – she is dying, and without her so do WE!!!
