Van Jones has been fed to King CONG (Coal, Oil, Nukes & Gas).
Obama's one serious green bright spot been sacrificed at the McCarthyite altar of the corporate bloviation machine.
The brilliant, charismatic Jones was responsible for the administration's single significant accomplishment to date. With clarity and verve Jones finally brought to the mainstream the critical message that what's good for the environment is also good for the economy.
The convenience of this simple truth has long been known to the green power movement. Since the early 1970s we have argued that converting away from fossil and nuclear fuels---coal, oil, nukes & gas---and onto a Solartopian system based on renewables and efficiency is the only route to long-term prosperity.
