Apollo's Fire on Tour
Has anyone had a chance to check out Apollo's Fire, the new book on energy solutions by Washington Congressman Jay Inslee and Bracken Hendricks? Rep. Inslee is currently in the middle of a book tour, and Our Man in Seattle says he did "a great job of conveying the importance for our state and federal government to step up to the plate and match the innovation and leadership that is being shown by individuals, entrepreneurs, and local governments around the country to address global warming and put clean energy solutions in place." I couldn't find an online listing of his remaining appearances, but I did get a schedule from his publisher, which I'll include below in case anyone wants to hear him firsthand:
Bellingham, WA -- November 3 Village Books/First Congregational Church,7 p.m.
Seattle, WA -- November 4 Seattle Town Hall/Elliott Bay Book Company/ Seattle University, 2 p.m.
Iowa City, IA -- November 12 Prairie Lights Books, 7 p.m.
Cambridge, MA -- November 15 Harvard Bookstore, 7 p.m.
Portsmouth, NH -- November 16 River Run Books, 7 p.m.
Los Angeles, CA -- December 3 Vroman's Books, 7 p.m.

I heartily congratulate senator Inslee on his book and contribution to a focus on renewable energy but,,,,,, shouldn't the senator be in Washington D.C.? There are some very important bills coming up for voting.The Farm Bill is just one.The Telcos hearing is another.
I do laud your efforts on behalf of renewable energy,but you were elected to serve the people and I don't see that a book tour does that job towards the betterment of american citizens.
Ed,
Should'nt you know that Inslee is a U.S. Representative, not U.S. Senator.
does it matter? same point. geez.
I feel that anytime you can get a legislator outside the beltway and face-to-face with the people, explaining complex issues like energy, is a good thing. There has been too litle real communication between Washington and the population these past years.
