Tonight at 7:00 (central), 8:00(eastern) President Obama will address the Gulf Coast oil spill and the tragic effects on the people, the environment and the economy.

We hope to hear an open, honest assessment of what is being done to stop the flow and the specific plans and resources that will be allocated to cleaning up this mess.

Once again we see big companies driven by greed employing unnecessary and irresponsible strategies that produce devastating effects. This is all too similar to the financial companies that brought our economy to it’s knees in September, 2008 where we had to bail them out to avoid a financial meltdown.

Let’s all watch and listen tonight.

We hope President Obama has the political will to use this Gulf Coast tragedy as the foundation for a comprehensive energy strategy that will offer substantial incentives for energy conservation and a full court press to develop and implement a sustainable energy strategy based upon clean, renewable energy production from the infinite resources of the sun and the wind.
