Veterans' Opinions on Clean Energy

An interesting post on Greenbang caught my attention this morning. "A new poll conducted for VoteVets.org, an organisation of recent veterans that aims to be “the voice of the 21st century patriot,” finds that 73 per cent of veterans from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan want the US Congress to pass a new law in favour of fighting climate change and shifting to clean energy sources. A full 67 per cent also believe such legislation would help their own economic prospects."
