Watch: Julianne Moore Demands That Washington Push for Sustainable Energy

After Sigourney Weaver did her best in trying to convince high officials and the general public that ocean acidification is a serious problem and must be dealt with accordingly, the time has now come for Julianne Moore to step up and demand that Washington take immediate measures against pollution and climate change.

As the actress explains, the main drive behind her being this much concerned about the natural world is the fact that she is a mother, and therefore wishes to make sure her children get the chance to grow up in a safe environment.

“We want a plan for a clean energy future, an end to global warming. Moms know about sustainable energy. After all, mother love in an unending supply and it keeps kids healthy,” the actress says.

Given Julianne's Moore popularity, it is quite likely that her green-oriented message will travel a long way.

What an idiot. You cannot simply legislate clean energy. It will take a few scientific breakthroughs before it is even possible. In the mean time these super rich idiots would be hurt to pay double or triple for energy but the people who go see her movies will lose Air conditioning, Heat, Light, and anything that uses electricity. But according to these Hollywood idiots millions of people suffering without cheap energy would be a good thing.

When will those like Ms. Moore act to limit their own unsustainable behavior. Her industry would not exist without massive amounts of energy fueled by fossil fuels. These people fly all over to promote their movies, take limos to talk shows, own mansions, have numerous and enormous awards events, etc all of which creates more pollution than the middle class people they seek to punish by raising energy prices with ill-fated solutions like cap and trade and costly ineffective green energy. She is unaware that she will be making others suffer, especially the 3rd world poor who need cheap energy to survive, in order to push her idealism on others. Look at the bio-fuels disaster that is killing thousands and the financial collapse of nations involved in green energy has done little to reduce CO2 with effect ofcreating fuel poverty.

The end to global warming will not be pleasant.
