These young people die for?

To the Times: One was a soccer player. Her mother thought she had just recently played her best game. One was a swimmer who was heading to the University of Indianapolis on a full academic scholarship. One loved to dance. Nonstop. There was a football coach who was like a father to those students and players who did not have one. He died shielding students from relentless gunfire.

And there were 13 others. Each one unique and very special in their own way. Teenagers most of them. With their lives ahead of them.

What a waste of talent not yet fully realized. So much potential for good that was senselessly lost.

What will change ? What will they all have died for?

What good can come from their loss ? Our loss ?

What do you think these kids would say if they could speak to us now? Today.

The answers lie solely now with all of us left behind.

The clock is fast ticking down the time to the next slaughter.

Time’s yours, America. favor giving priority to developing alternative clean energy over expanding production of dirty fossil fuel sources, according to the Pew Research Center.

People prefer clean energy sources because they don’t pollute, put our health at risk, or contribute to climate change.

The EERE’s programs are incredibly beneficial they’re driving down the price of solar energy, funding important research into electric cars and other renewable energies, and saving us money on utility bills through weatherization projects.

Tell your Senators and Representatives that you oppose the White House’s proposal to cut the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s budget.

Maybe, just maybe, some day Olympic skiers will be competing on real snow again.
