In advance of a scheduled protest this weekend, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid released a letter asking the Capitol Architect to switch the Capitol Power Plant from coal to 100% natural gas by the end of 2009.

This weekend, more than 10,000 young people will descend upon the nation’s capitol for four days of workshops, panels, lobbying, skills training, and a bit of music. That’s right, this isn’t exactly your parents’ environmental movement.

As we watch the dollars going to alternative energy and exciting new transportation options in the stimulus package, it’s always fascinating to see who will actually be on the receiving end of these huge checks. The answer to that question isn’t out yet, but a good way to guess who gets what piece of the pie might be at hand.
