GREENHAWK

The GREENHAWK BLOG is written by Dr. Sparks Lunney of Naples, Florida, USA. The opinions expressed are my own. All comments received on the blog are posted unless profane language, etc is used.

My basic premise is that National Security, energy independence and global warming are closely linked issues, which must be urgently addressed simultaneously. Public policy should reflect this. My country has enemies who use every weapon at their disposal from suicide bombers and flying airplanes into buildings killing thousands of innocent people, to attacks on oil workers, shipping, etc, around the world. My country needs to decrease its dependence on Middle East oil and bring alternative, clean and renewable domestic energy sources on line as rapidly as possible. My country needs to work with other nations around the world to address global warming. My country needs to address all of these issues immediately, simultaneously, and tenaciously.

Like Hercules overcoming Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog with the tail of a serpent who guards the entrance to the lower world in Greek Mythology, America faces three challenges which MUST be addressed simultaneously - national security, dependence on imported oil, and our national carbon footprint. The Links below are intended as resources for those interested in the potent nexus between national security, energy independence, and America's carbon footprint.
