Where innovators discuss world events and issues like alternative energy

New format on RespectedOpinions

Hey everyone,

I thought I'd let you all know about the new format I created for RespectedOpinions. Every week I will pick a topic in the news, but I'll try to pick things that we can discuss on a level deeper than just what's happening currently.

For example, this week's topic is on the Gulf Coast Disaster. This is important in many ways.

1. It gives us a chance to research and share research with the World so that we can all get the best information on what happend and WHY.

2. It gives us all a chance to evaluate President Obama and his administration in their first non-financial crisis.

3. It gives us a chance to research Offshore Drilling Practices, and evaluate alternative energy sources which would help us lessen our dependence on oil, and share these evaluations with people also interested in what's going on with the Gulf. (we're currently getting search engine traffic for oil rig spill and other major keywords from Google, and was on the 1st page of results yesterday).

Please join me in discussing these issues so that the world can get more than the narrow view that the mainstream media presents. Help me question what has been done, is being done, and will be done to prevent this type of thing from happening again, as well as how we can end our dependence on an unsustainable fuel like oil.

Thank you,
Nicholas Nagao
