From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
There's no two ways about it. We must reduce our dependency on oil, natural gas, and coal---be it from the US or Middle East or anywhere else. We need to invest in abundent and clear energy and that means solar, hydro, and solar, and until nuclear can be made safer, it needs to be on the back burner (well, sorta). I would go even further and say energy independence is a matter of national security and as such such be nationalized, or at the least much more regulated than it has been.
