Eco Child’s Play

If you are of my generation, you remember Schoolhouse Rock’s Saturday morning cartoons.  To this day, I only know what a conjunction is from “Conjunction Junction, what’s your function?”, and I clearly remember how a bill becomes a law by that little rolled up bill sitting on the congressional steps.  “The Energy Blues” is 30 years old this year, and we are still singing these blues:

Energy … We’re looking to try and find some new kinds.
Energy … Exploring to try and make a new find.
Nuclear and thermal and solar,
If we miss we’ll get colder and colder.
Energy … We’ve gotta stop usin’ you up.

I don’t believe that nuclear power is the answer, or the next generation of Schoolhouse Rock will be singing the “Nuclear Waste Blues”.
