Global warming is lighting a fire on today's campuses, and this weekend thousands of students will come to D.C. to rally, lobby, and get arrested for a clean energy economy. ANP talks with young activists about why this issue inspires their generation, and we hear from Congressman Jim Moran about why the time is right for civil disobedience.

Practically ALL solutions to our sorry enviornmental state involve finding something new to BURN, cleaning (or petending to) clean existing fuel like coal, or scams like synfuels and biofuels. Burning stuff is what got us into the mess we're in, now. The same old crap isn't going to work; it's time to begin the research into energy production which doesn't add to the CO2 in the air, or more HEAT, either.
