Que Sera Sera – by Richard Andrews
Not long ago I wrote TRANSFORMERS, “Transforming ourselves, transforming our Energy! Ironically there I was in the process of posting a podcast interview of Van Jones with Majora Carter, Host of The Promised Land and co-founder of Green jobs for All, and a green giant in her own right recorded not long ago. When I read that Jones had just resigned his position as Special Advisor for green jobs at the White House Council for Environmental Quality. Van Jones is a globally recognized, award-winning pioneer in human rights and the clean energy economy. A 1993 graduate of the Yale Law School and an attorney.Van wrote the New York Times best selling book on “green jobs”: The Green Collar Economy. How could this be?
He’s a bay area hero and green jobs evangelist! The commentators started weighing in – Adriana Huffington of the Huffington Post wrote, “Thank you Glen Beck”(She thinks he can do more good outside Washington), Bryan Walsh Time Magazine, says “Van Jones’ Ideas on Green Jobs Should Stay.” New York Times writer Eric Ethridge, “Us and Mr. Jones: What’s Going On?” A sort of blog of how a smear becomes a smear. Joe Garofoli, Chronicle Staff Writer for San Francisco Chronicle gives us the home court view “The administration is losing not only one of the nation’s leading environmentalists, progressives say, but one of the few liberal voices with President Obama’s ear.”
To listen the Jones/Carter interview podcast,click here. Somehow even with all our plans and counter plans there are events and circumstances that seem to defy the laws of gravity. Author Charles Dickens from, A Tale of Two Cities” It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of enlightenment, it was the age of foolishness.” So please forgive me in advance, I couldn’t help but think of Doris Day, here singing. Que Sera Sera.
