Jones is not even a politician, at the moment: he’s the founder and president of Green For All, an Oakland-based organization "dedicated to building an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty."

Fortunately, the situation today is reversed: We can transform our country and prevent a calamity by moving now toward a clean energy economy.
