		<description>I think it is a bad idea to continue with coal if it is pumping more and more CO2 into our atmosphere.  Global warming is a very serious issue now, as Al Gore made plain in his recent movie.  Let&#039;s put the money into finding and implementing alternative fuel sources.</description>

		<description>I like the way RAN seems to keep it&#039;s campaigns rather impersonal and I think this contributes to their effectiveness.  I really value the respect involved in RAN&#039;s approach compared to some other environmental groups.  I mean to say that it seems that we are much more effective when we do not blame others for everything we do not like that exists in this world.  Thank you for keeping it clean.</description>

		<description>It was encouraging to read a bit about David, the founder of Texas Pacific. At CNN, it stated that TXU had &#039;agreed to be purchased by KKR &amp; Texas Pacific&#039; (2/28). It seems that it was non-binding, with Suisse&#039;s action inviting other alternatives....sad. Overall, so many people continue (over the centuries) to be &#039;blinded by&#039; &amp; addicted to money. I am awe-struck, encouraged, &amp; very grateful for what you (RAN), NRDC et al., do, both in action, &amp; in nurturing a &#039;mindset-change&#039; of values &amp; preserving Mother Earth.</description>

		<description>We (YOU) need to put the welfare of all humans before your profits.  If we kill our earth, there will be no one left to use your product!  Get WISE and join the effort to clean up our country as a start to cleaning up our world.</description>

		<description>We are on the brink of who knows what, the hole these people are digging is deep enough, our actions should be to throw away the shovel and grab for a rope.
There are alternatives to this destruction of our planet.</description>
