Short piece from Mother Earth News.  I don't know if the people they quote 
are legit or if they are radical hippie freaks.  Over the years I've learned 
to pretty much ignore MEN political stuff.  But, I do like the thrust of this 
argument ....bobford

While the Senate wrestles to construct some kind of utilitarian financial 
bailout, economists and political activists have moved out of the Wall Street 
box – and into the green house.

With one-seventh the money it looks like it will take to bail out the economy 
(so $100 billion), an investment in green power would produce nearly twice 
the amount of jobs as the mortgage bailout would.
