This article sounds well, but how everything is related together?…

Very interesting post. A little bit confusing, but still ok. do you know what is the first? i`ve the new album at my blog http://sumpit.info…

Well pick a side and stay there outlander!

You are all ok with the US securing “our” oil interests in the middle east. But here you wanna get haughty?

“The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) provides a secretariat for the world’s largest institutional investor collaboration on the business implications of climate change. Innovest has been selected to undertake the research and analysis of the Global Report, which is now backed by institutional investors with $31.5 trillion assets under management, since its inception.”

They are vested ACTIVISTS, and YOU a “Journalist” could not find out that particular “fact”????

Here is their Website, Look around, can’t you just smell the propaganda? This is complete BS, and not a particular objective study.

I do not think that China’s pollution problems are “ok” — but basically it is their responsibility to clean up their act.

The U.S. could try to force them to change by boycotting their products until they do so. But it’s a global economy, and they could just sell to other markets?

“Open your wallets and insert your foot.”

Become more energy efficient, and make your wallet fatter.

“I wonder what the legislature will spend all that new revenue on?”

Fund energy audits to lower demand, and lower utility bills, like Boulder CO is doing.

Another proposal is to use carbon taxes to help reduce payroll and/or income taxes.

Seems to me though, to be a little of a colonial attitude going on here. So, if we obtain the raw material for these solar panels (polysilicon)at the cost of the health of Chinese people, is that ok, because “The Chinese are responsible for their pollution problems”?? I mean, I know they have a lot of people and could probably spare a few but still…

The Chinese are responsible for their pollution problems.

Are you going to have tree branches hanging over the entire house?
Good luck during a heavy ice storm.

Use light-colored shingles. Have balanced ridge and soffit vents, then in the attic, staple radiant barrier to the rafters below the roof sheathing.

The radiant barrier blocks infrared — and causes a “chimney” effect. Heated air rises out thru the ridge vents, pulling outside air in thru soffit vents.

Plug all air leaks from the house into attic, and add more insulation.

Also,

“But a new analysis finds that even accounting for all the energy and waste involved, PV power would cut air pollution—including the greenhouse gases that cause climate change—by nearly 90 percent if it replaced fossil fuels.”

You really have a head in the sand mentality don’t you? You know if you don’t want to know the truth, you can cover your eyes or plug your ears and shout. Responsible people want to look at the costs and benefits of any option. For example, ethanol. Great idea. As it turns out, not so good. And some folks also might care about the Chinese people, even if you don’t.

So CapnHapfTruth, please engage your brain before you start lecturing me again. You are boring me.

Look, dipswitch, Kansas gets as much sunlight as Florida. As far as wind, we’re freaking Saudi Arabia.

We are uniquely situated to lead the nation in both of these growth industries.

What we need now are political leadership.

And for idiots like you to get the hell out of the road.

Open your wallets and insert your foot.

I wonder what the legislature will spend all that new revenue on?

“Polysilicon is an essential raw material in the production of solar cells for panels that convert sunlight to electricity for homes, businesses and farms”.

Another “ethanol” type solution?

But then, demand picked up, prices change, and since I’ve moved back, my rates are higher than urban, but not as far out of line as they used to be.

Maybe they have the “stranded asset” strategy as a backup? Maybe such a thing doesnt even exist anymore. Not my area of expertise.

But maybe some of you smart folks know?

In any event, looks like the ratepayers of Sunflower’s member cooperatives are gonna be the cash cow. Again.
