ALEC Sees A Green Door And Wants To Paint It Black

ALEC is losing support left and right, but mostly from the left, and is looking to keep its head in the polluted skies by going after state renewable energy incentive programs. What does this mean for Ohio's SB 221 signed  into law by then Governor Ted Strickland in May of 2008? I do not know. A web search for SB 221 information led me to a .pdf on the Office of the Ohio Consumer's Counsel website. The link to the file was featured on the search results page but I could not find the link on the website. Strange? Could Ohio be beating ALEC to the punch? If you journey to the OC'sC website, notice the text alongside the "Please Note" button near the bottom of the page.

A Film About Tomorrow, Or Not

Under Pressure, Under Utilized

Energy is where you find it.

Cheaper?

What is the true cost of an increase of natural gas production? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the study here does not address the CO2 of extraction of natural gas, only the amount of emissions from burning. What is needed is a study that has a comparison of total emissions of CO2 from production to consumption. A comprehensive study would include emissions from all combustion machinery used in the process of extraction of fossil fuels to their end-use. Other factors including long-term economic impact of the region where production occurs and the health of workers and local residents who are exposed to toxic chemicals and pollution.

A Business Opportunity

Here is the chance many have been waiting for. As energy rates rise, rate payers will look to ways to save on their electricity bills. Renewable energy from wind and solar can help reduce and in some cases eliminate electric bills entirely.

A Candle That Burns Twice As Bright...

...burns half as long.

Today's technology takes that and places it squarely on its head. Advances in lighting technologies and a re-think of electric light usage are placing a spot light on the path to twice the brightness and half the energy.

Did you ever ask your math teacher why did you have to study math? A good example of "Y" can be found here.
