Power Shift 2009 winds up its regional conferences this weekend with events  in Ohio and Oregon. These are the last of the 11 regional summits that saw young people across the nation gather to send a message to President Obama and Congress: enact a climate and energy plan by December that rebuilds the economy, ends dependence on dirty energy and brings America lasting security.
