Time to act

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico(/America if you ask Colbert) continues to be the big news all over the U.S., as it should be. Jon Stewart on Wednesday night did a segment on President Obama's speech. In that speech the President says we need to work on getting off of oil, well this was Stewart's response:

If this isn't an excuse to get us off of oil I don't know what will. While I know that it will take sometime (we can't just change overnight) there is a way to start making alternatives more acceptable. Start by lowering subsidies to oil companies and increase the subsidies to alternative energy solutions among other things. There is increasing evidence that we are changing the global climate but not only that we are running out of oil it is time to instigate a change before we are forced to make a change because we run out of oil. It is time to act!!!!
