Its safe to say that the Alaska Legislature is not working with me on the Climate issue: ... Headline Reads...
Wanted by Alaska lawmakers: PR firm to fight species listings: $1.5M JOB: Legislators believe faulty climate change science has led to negative economic effects.

My first reaction was why doesn't the state host a 1.5 million dollar Social Innovation fund and conference; that would jumpstart investment and spur sustainable economic growth... solution. History has repeatedly proven that when civil society or non resource business is weak, natural resources do not put a country or state on a fast track to development. Anchorage might not become the next silicon valley... but it is clear that the state can do a much better job to provide education opportunities for our young people. We need to develop social entrepreneurs and innovative thinkers. We are on the verge of being able to deliver the tech resources and tools to the people who need them the most in a way that will hopefully be constructive, preserving culture and wilderness while enabling progress. Its an exciting time to be alive. The horizon is wide open, but there is a lot of work to do.

Connectivity Matters...
Marc Andreessen:
I grew up in rural Wisconsin, okay? No access to information relating to rest of the world except for whatever was in the public library, right, for which I could probably thank Andrew Carnegie or somebody like that way back when.
Charlie Rose:
Right.
Marc Andreessen:
But like no connection to current events, no connection to the idea that you can start your own business. No connection to new technology. No connection to anything. I mean, you know. So you take every kid living in a rural community in the US, you take every kid living in the inner city, you take every kid growing up in the developing world, and you give them access to the world, they will be so much better educated. They’ll be so much more aware.
