Architecture 2030, the same people who brought you the Face It webcast and Reverberate competitions, has trumpeted a call to action for the upcoming Earth Day weekend. The BYOBlue campaign is rallying the nation to fight against coal-fired power (one of the most major contributing factors to pollution and global warming) by asking everyone to wear blue from April 19 - 22 of this year to signify their vote for "No Coal." On the 22nd, you can also call Congress at 202-224-3121 and ask for an immediate 'Moratorium on Coal' to put the kibosh on the construction of any new coal-fired power plants.

What should we replace coal-fired power plants with? Coal is in great supply, domestically, and it prevents all of the nastiness associated with imported fossil fuels. Solar, wave, and wind power are not really viable sources, for the mass generation of electricity, as of yet. Nuclear has the potential to wipe out the whole planet, so I cannot see that as being preferred over global warming. Maybe we should put a 20 year moratorium on the reproduction of the human race. Less people, less demand for electricity, fuel, etc.
