Green Energy and what is needed for Missouri
As a Solar Contractor installing Solar PV, Solar Hot Water, and small residential Wind Generator Systems I have seen several systems installed. A homeowner may utilize a personal loan, secured by their home to acquire the funds needed to make the Green convertion.
However, banks are not lending money for zero-energy homes or for solar design homes in a construction loan basis. The reasoning for this is that there are no-such homes on the MLS for realty to ascertain the proper value of the home… Continue

Honorable Speaker of the House Congresswoman Pelosi,
I am an Electronic Technician Chief in the US Navy with 27 years service stationed overseas. I’m outlying an idea to assist and work with current plans for achieving energy independence. I urge you, as speaker of the house and the driving force to form the select committee on energy independence and global warming, consider for discussion and introduction into the house US Treasury Savings Bonds for Energy Independance.
In WWII America sold war bonds supporting the war effort. When young, my mother told me her primary school raised enough money through bonds to build a tank to support troops. I am impressed with the patriotism and purpose of our greatest generation that accomplished so much.
Selling energy bonds for RE (Renewable Energy) development would lower foreign oil imports and assist with the complex problem of funding. Bonds sold as “Energy S” could support new solar trough plants, “Energy W” to support wind farms, Energy “H” to support hydroelectric plants, Energy “T” to support RE transportation such as electric bullet train routes powered by RE, Energy "C" COOPS for small communities only needing a small quantity of turbines, and Energy “I” for needed infrastructure high voltage power lines to the RE site. Bonds will have the project name and include an artist’s perspective of the project and an American flag. President Obama had great success with the internet during his campaign. In a similar manner, using the internet, energy bonds could have a website listing current projects and an “electronic checkout” could purchase a bond $25 or higher. Simpler methods of payment such as “PAYPAL” and credit cards would be available and after an electronic purchase is complete a color print out of the bond is available with a follow up of the bond in the mail. The website would limit quantity of projects for each category until funding is complete. After a project becomes funded, a new project will be available. A tab on the site will show history and status of previous projects. Purchasers may take great pride in “collecting” and displaying bonds of various RE projects and participating at different levels of financial support. Solar trough plants in the multi-hundred MW size capacity with molten salt energy storage in California, Arizona, and West Texas can provide a major portion of electric needs. North Dakota has potential to support 1/3 of our nations electric needs in it’s class 4 wind zone areas. There are plenty of suitable proposed wind turbine farms now around the nation to significantly increase our RE if funded. Mid sized hydro-electric has not been used in America to it’s full potential. Following the example of our neighbor, Canada, it would provide a significant increase in percentage of electric production. Developing all three we could provide the majority of our electric and heating needs through renewable energy in a "New New Deal" fashion allowing natural gas for transportation as T. Boone Pickens is working for. Bullet train routes have proven a viable alternative to commercial domestic air service and when powered by electricity provided by RE suppliers America would be in the forefront of world technology. Example, I heard of discussion for a commuter train from Denver to Colorado Springs. Such a route built as a renewable energy project with charter requirement legally requiring to only purchase electricity from available renewable energy sources would be a model example. There are many train routes, city bus systems, and government vehicles that can be converted to run from alternative energy sources and fuels. Jobs created would bolster the economy, lower trade deficit, and strengthen national security. I would take great pride in print outs of bonds with graphics of each project I supported and many other Americans would also. The energy bonds could have tax breaks. BLM lands may be a viable place to start for some projects.
I contacted the US treasury department and was told that the marketing department for savings bonds closed several years ago. I was told there would be problems because savings bonds are at the federal level while the projects will be at the state and local level. I disagree and believe that these can easily be figured out in the way of grants to the state and local level using money from the bonds for those specific projects. I was told to check out auctions on the www.treasurydirect.gov website and found them to not apply to citizens wanting to buy savings bonds to support a cause such as energy independance. I was told by the treasury department to look into CREB (Clean Renewable Energy Bonds). I found CREB to be large scale funding that a citizen would not be able to participate in as a US Treasury Energy Independance Bond would provide. If given the tools to participate directly, the power of the citizens of the United States to help achieve energy independance could not be denied. Americans mean well and the Energy Independance Savings bond program will give citizens the power at their level to make it happen. If marketed through a web page, commercials, and to federal employees the word would get out and participation would spread like wildfire.
Mr. Paul Gipe, a resident of Bakersfield CA, an author of several books about wind energy, and recipient of multiple awards as a pioneer in the industry since the 1970's has put a letter I wrote to Senator Dorgan on this subject as well as an older letter I wrote on wind COOP in JAN07.

That is a great Idea.
If you do decide to do the raffle and donate it to a Charity would you be so kind as to add our charity to your list Huntington's Disease www.hdsa-ne.org
We are having our annual HD Convention in June in Arizona this year we have a couple of celebrities that sponsor Huntington's. Maybe with the right Proposal and presentation we could get them involved.
Do you have a Presentation Proposal explaining the program on paper or a brochure made up for the raffle with details ? maybe this is something you could bring to our National HD Committee.
Let me know what you think
Mike
I agree with you
What company do you work for?
Would your company be willing to outfit a few homes around the country as a model homes for folks to look at for furture sales of their system.
I guess the trick is to get the funding?
I have an idea for a home Self contained electric blanket

Hope you will join your local congressional district. They need help building grass roots support for the very things you talk about. Hope you will also make a call to your representatives Monday and Tuesday!
Legislation is on the table in Washington!
Thank you for the friend!

A site to visit is www.dsireusa.org. This site posts all the incentives, by State, to encourage the use of Renewable Energies. Sadly, Missouri is very much still in the Dark Ages. Within the last 5 years the "Easy Connect Act" was passed which allows for Dual or Net Metering. There are only 3 states left that do not allow this. Governor Blunt passed the Million Roofs Program which was started in California, however Gov. Blunt did not offer any offsetting incentives to encourage buyers to obtain Solar Energy.
Wind Energy is a clean and viable source fo energy, however on the smaller scale of a 3.7 Skystream Wind System, it does not produce enough energy for the buyer to ever see a profit for their installation.
