When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?: I am a 'born again' activist

More: The oil lobby has nearly destroyed our economy along with the fossil fuel advocates. The industrial revolution was fueled (no pun intended) by fossil fuels, however that time is over and done. We have to move forward with renewable energy sources to fuel our society now. This will create opportunities and jobs on a scale not seen in over a century. It could be the catalyst that brings us to peace.

More about me: I am a single father, artist, gourmet cook and by profession I am an engineer. I started working in the power industry over 30 years ago. At that time I worked in nuclear and fossil fuel power plant design. I have also been in the petro-chem(petroleum and chemical) industry. In the last decade through education and research, I've changed my focus to the environment. I am specifically interested in building public confidence in changing our energy and economic focus. We should be using renewable energy sources. To convert to this system would create millions of jobs. Our economy would change automatically. This is not a luxury this is a necessity.
