Tonight at the Democratic National Convention the main speaker will be Hillary Clinton.

Clinton’s speech will most likely focus on Democratic unity, but that doesn’t mean we should take our eyes off the energy ball. In 10 days, Clinton will go back to being the Senator from New York, and a quick look at the committees she’s on reveals a seat on the Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety.

Now, you all know that T. Boone believes focusing on Nuclear Energy is too far in the future for what we’re doing, but the clean air part of Clinton’s subcommittee is right up our alley. Wind energy is, of course, clean. And natural gas is a much cleaner burning fossil fuel than oil–not to mention coal.

We should be looking for Clinton to at least touch on the environment and clean energy, and when she does we need to use that as a lever to send e-mails to her Senate office that a) congratulate her on speech, and b) ask for her position on the Pickens Plan.

Since now is the time for us to remind everyone in Washington–be they on the left side of the aisle or the right–that energy is the top issue facing America today, this is going be just the first of a number of actions we’ll be asking you to take during both the Democratic and Republican conventions. Look for more calls to action tomorrow.

And as always, thank you for your support.
