Welcometo the Ambiance of Well-Being ! Here we will focus on Abundance. How to tune into the frequency of positive energy, and create an environment of health, wealth, and abundance. Buckminster Fuller said during our 1st Energy Crisis in the 1970's. "There Is No Energy Crisis, There is a Crisis of Ignorance". The Information Age is moving us away from the scarcity mentality of the Industrial Era, and has the opportunity to bring to the masses the truth of how the universe works through abundance. The internet can be the perfect vehicle to break through this ignorance, and bring the truth to light. We will strive to show how "Going Green" and focusing on renewable, and alternative energies will build an atmosphere of an abundant healthy environment.
People need to pull together and create a NEW WORLD. The Wall Street Fraud has come home to roost, and now the Government is attempting to create a new socialized economy.
This weekend is a chance to let them know we will not take this sitting down. We will demand a new paradigm. Create Green Jobs, start the sustainable Green economy. Build a World of Abundance!
There will be events held over this weekend, September 27 & 28, 2008, around the Nation and here in Downingtown, PA. Green Jobs Now; National Day of Action & the EcoFare in Downingtown's Kerr Park.
*EcoFare is a not for profit non partisan community event interested in promoting renewable energies, sustainability, and green living taking place Sunday September 28th in Downingtown, Pa 19335 @ the wonderful Kerr Park from 11am - 9pm Highlights of the day include:
* Hybrid cars on display and available for pre-order * A broad array of green friendly vendors and exhibitors -- Kimberton Whole Foods, School of Rock, Alternative Energy INC., Earth Mart, Green Savers, The Sierra Club, more coming board every day -- hopefully your organization will be next * Games and activities with prizes of value donated by local businesses -- Chic-Fil-A, Regal Entertainment, Papa Johns, BC Collectibles, fine dining outings plus much more coming soon * A town hall discussion focused on eco-accountability, sustainability issues featuring local and regional experts in relating fields * A Concert for a Green Earth featuring some of Philly's top rising stars (Sisters3, Cheers Elephant, Drink Up Buttercup, The Sermon, Lauren Adams, When Cars Ascend)
**All proceeds of EcoFare will go towards bettering MPG standards in America and America's 10 year Green Energy Initutive through EcoFare's steering committee. If you have interest in becoming part of EcoFare's steering committee simply let me know.
This week a new book will be available which will be a practical guide of how to "Go Green". It was written be freelance contributor to the Today Show, Sloan Barnett. The book is titled: "Green Goes With Everything", and will show how, with just a few simple, but important, changes you can detoxify your home and your family.
Now that many multi-national corporations have made a commitment to get into the clean energy business, they may be able to have some leverage over government programs and subsidies. This could be reminiscent of the leverage Big Oil has held over government subsidies. If the government doesn't cooperate, then they use their leverage. That is, they just take there business elsewhere, to a country which will give them the subsidies they want to develop clean energy technologies.
Below is a story of what GE is doing now to lobby congress to renew the Clean-Energy credits.
September 12, 2008, 2:25 pm Industry to Congress: Renew the Expiring Clean-Energy Credits
Posted by Keith Johnson
The U.S. Congress may be “out of gas” when it comes to drafting an energy policy, as the Washington Post edit page moans, but General Electric’s John Krinicki doesn’t mind giving legislators a push.
He only had to battle giants, not the Senate (Wikipedia)
The head of GE Energy, the conglomerate’s unit that makes everything from wind turbines to nuclear reactors, flew down to Washington again today to plead with senators to extend tax credits for renewable energy. The credits, still crucial to making clean energy competitive, are set to expire at the end of the year, despite at least eight tries so far to renew them. That threatens to slam the brakes on two gangbuster years for American wind and solar power.
“I’m prepared to come down every week to say the same thing,” he told us. “If the production tax credit expires in the U.S., the wind industry will collapse. As the clock ticks, you put jobs at risk.”
Mr. Krinicki’s testimony is part of a broader Senate look today at America’s energy future. Among the heavyweights also on parade: Rick Waggoner, CEO of General Motors; Marvin Odum, the president of Shell Oil; Gary Cohn, co-president of Goldman Sachs; Dan Yergin of Cambridge Energy Research Associates; and Dan Reicher, Google’s clean-energy guru.
Mr. Krinicki thinks his clean-energy arguments will find a more receptive audience in the Senate than when he made identical pleas more than a year ago. The real problem isn’t support for clean energy per se, he says, but the messy politics that makes it tough to renew the credits.
And he says the beauty of jumpstarting clean-tech with the tax credits is that it doesn’t require inventing a whole new energy policy—just renewing an existing one.
So what happens if Congress doesn’t renew clean-energy subsidies?
“If the U.S.government is not going to be reliable and predictable [on clean-energy policy], we’ll go to Germany and China,” he says, pointing to countries that have long-term, aggressive plans in place to promote clean energy. China could pass the U.S. next year to become the second-biggest wind-power country, after Germany.
Mr. Krinicki’s GE boss Jeff Immelt said something similar earlier this year, threatening to sell clean-tech equipment to countries like Turkey if the U.S. doesn’t fix its “hellish” energy policy. Still, foreign companies are still flocking to the U.S. market—GE rival Siemens just announced it will build a new wind-turbine factory in the U.S., even with the subsidy question still up in the air.
Will this Congress renew the tax credits at the buzzer? Or have two years of world-beating renewable-energy growth taken away any sense of urgency?
One goal I have for this blog is to present both sides of the argument. I also want the focus to be on the abundance that exists all around us, to tap into the laws that drive the universe. Here is some interesting arguments against the concept of man made global warming. It's main premise is that CO2 does not have a major affect on the weather. "The climate is controlled by the clouds, the clouds are controlled by cosmic rays, and cosmic rays are controlled by the Sun." Weather is therefore controlled by the Sun. Interesting. Please take the time to watch this.
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. My wife, Charlene, and I have been busy vacationing in Maine. Here is a short slideshow of our relaxing time near Booth Bay Harbor, Maine. Hope you enjoy the beauty of the place.
God blessed me with a liver transplant, and gave me a 2nd chance at life. Having completed my Masters of Science in Strategic Leadership I am dedicated to giving my community and the Planet a 2nd chance.
Let's learn about Alternative Energy and Sustainable living, together.
