Very Inspired By Obama Speech in Ghana

Very sad to find out from that Aunt Janette has passed from a heart atttack.
-The funeral will be held in Berkely and I will write a small peice for the ceremony.
-Man, its tough to see the coolest family members go, it is important for us to carry on the legacy.

Very Inspired by obama speech...

"One area that holds out both undeniable peril and extraordinary promise is Energy. Africa gives off less greenhouse gas than any other part of the world, but is most threatened by climate change. A warming planet will spread disease, shrink water resources, and deplete crops, creating conditions that produce more famine, more conflict. All of us, particularly the developed world have a responsibility to slow these treks, threw mitigation and by changing the way that we use energy. But we can also work with Africans to turn this crisis into opportunity. Together, we can partner on behalf of our planet and prosperity and help countries increase access to power while developing, leapfrogging the dirtier phase of development. Think about it, across Africa there is bountiful wind and solar power, geothermal energy and biofuel...African's natural gifts can generate its own power while exporting clean energy abroad...its about opportunity that must exist for Africans in the 21st century..."
