MORE ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF TELL IT LIKE IT IS
PURPOSE of forming the group, TELL IT LIKE IT IS:
Note: the purpose is dual.
A) In a time where the state of affairs in our country, to understate it, is tumultuous on so many levels, I wanted to create a venue where members of the PP could come and log a report regarding what the actual situation is as they are experiencing it. In other words, how is the individual member (you), your family, your friends, your community, your region...being affected by this economic crisis? Hence, I would like for you to tell it like it is from your unique perspective (the inside scoop).
B) Because of the exceptional range of diversity in geographical location, occupations, professions, ways of life and lifestyles that are represented in the PP membership, the original intent was to get as many PP members as possible to join this group and log in their individual reports. The purpose being to provide the members with a comprehensive perspective of exactly how this economic crisis is impacting our way of life. A perspective that is coming from real folks (ourselves and our friends here on the PP) that are having to deal with this situation on a day to day basis as opposed to the perspective given to us from one of the numerous talking heads in the media.
Being a member of this group bears with it an obligation. That obligation, as described above, is for each member to "Tell it like it is." And, in conjunction with your reporting, it would be of benefit to see what your local news media is having to report on the current financial climate in your neck of the woods. So please feel free to post articles, excerpts from articles or links to local media reports in your locality.
There is a lot of bad news right now and it would appear that this financial storm we are in is a long ways from being over. Therefore, reporting is an ongoing activity. And, of course, we should all be looking for indicators in our local regions that are positive and show promise of a turn for the better. Essentially, what we want to know is the condition getting better or is the condition getting worse. Please, no sugar-coating or no embellishment of the dire. Just...Tell it like it is!
It could be that my idea to form a group with a purpose such as this group's is not actually needed or wanted. The answer to that question will be found in the level of participation. In my estimation if not at least 75% of the group's members are making reports or posting relevant material on a somewhat routine basis then my purpose for starting this group is not justified.
Thank you.

Suse says, isn't it time to invest in renewable energy
With 10.78B in profits I'd say it's high time to invest in Exxon. What it the annual yield on those Pickens windmills laying out in under the Texas sun drying out. Zippo?
At 1.88 a share annual divined and a $33 per share capital gain over its price last year at this time, I say your call to invest in a bunch of hot air is just a...a..a bunch of hot air.

The vertical wind turbine is gaining popularity, in that it rotates at about 50 RPM, and is good for low wind speeds.
Not sure where better resources info is though, only saw it on some cable show.
Looks like a corkscrew....

REPORT:
The state of New York has still not made way for small wind. Every installation must follow a mish mosh of local rules, rather than a truly comprehensive policy.
Regulations have dealt with big towers, and are totally inapplicable to small,
building based systems. With engineering validation that the turbine can't fall anywhere with the appropriate mounting, these are very safe.
Does anyone want the little guy/homeowner/business to benefit directly in NY State? It is very hard to see it from the existing regulatory scheme. Ideas?

We are ALL Avatars....of the singularities that inhabit the multi verse.
These black h*** constructs are the hard drive, to the RAM activity we are aware of.
To retain those precious memories / power of the HD, we make the mistakes here.
Because,to cause the HD to 'reprogram' is to burn off the surface irregularities that form the control matrix (you would call it hell).
So, if you spend your time trying to 'step on others' to elevate yourself, and when you reboot, you haven't learned to move without that leverage, on your own, guess what?
Our particular problem(s) started when we tried to contain some HD's in a structural format they didn't like (similar to the Ark of the Covenant) for our own ego, about 15,000 years ago.
Now, can we get back on topic???

The latest petition " Energy indepenence now petition" is a new one we all need to sign.
Please take a second to do it.
Thanks for all you are doing as the labor continues!
Best; Tom
