Profile Information
- Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
- Yes
- Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
- Home construction with geo thermo, currently building solar heating panels for personal home. Live on Lake Erie shore and am well aware of wind and wave power potential. Have equal interest in reducing energy consumption in conjunction with alternate energy sources. A watt saved is a watt earned.
- What excites you about this campaign?
- This era of energy conservation has more depth in technology than the previous oil embargo era. The need is more entrenched in long term economics, more at stake, than previous energy crunches. This is a serious effort with more realistic returns in investment.
- What do you want to do to help?
- Anything that would challenge my creative ability to solve puzzles, finding ways to do things that others say can't be done.

What's up. Cool blog style here. Ohio in the house!
I noticed the indicators that lead to our problems we are in now back then. I took action, but no one wanted to listen. Funny every thing I said to each of these representitives relating to events prior to the end of 2008 came true and a few that have not come to pass yet but will not until mid 2009 are still showing their indicators.
You say for the government to throw money to manufactures on condition of renegotiating with unions to reduce wages? Are you insane? Wages have already been declining and that is part of the problem. Associated with rising fuel prices lead to every weaking point in the economy.
From construction, higher food prices, higher transportation costs, increased prices which increased consumer debt and lead to the eventual collapse of the economy. As the cost of fuel, food and every other consumable product used by consumers kept going up, debt payments and living expenses surpased income of the average consumer. This lead to defaulting on loans and reduced consumer spending leading to many problems through out the whole economy. Companies tried not to raise prices,l many tried to absorb higher costs to keep their porducts at lower prices to lessen additional pressures in the economy. This manuver further weakened many companies as consumers had to cut spending to compensate for increased fuel and food costs. They had to eat and they had to get back and forth to work so money was primarily allocated for food and fuel in households that were seeing their budgets become tighter and tighter.
Try all you wish to, to try and convience me with your reports and staticitics. I know what I saw in the indicators I was observing. I know what actions I took as a result of what I saw in those indicators. I know what I did and what I said and what happened in regards to what I said and when I said it.
It all goes to the rising cost of oil and not having a viable alternative to oil that could have held rising speculation in check. That is what the indicators showed, and that is why I took the actions that I did and said what I said and why I can say with out reservation that I was right in my reading of the indicators and that the down turn all hinged on rising oil prices.
I saw it before anybody, and I acted before anybody with a plan to prevent it from happening, but hey I am not the supper rich, so I am just disregarded. Funny how I am the one that should have been listened to because I was the only one saying that the economy was going to tank in the latter part of 2008 in early 2006. Find anyone else that made that statement and I will conside that I was not the only one. But there was no one saying it. Hell I was laughed at by most of the people I spoke to and they said I did not know what i was talking about. Funny they were wrong and I was right.
Funny in 2004 I was saying that pump prices would rise to about $5.00 a gallon in mid 2008. Funny in late 2005 I said that the 2005 energy act would do nothing but expose the weaknesses of this nation in its dependency upon foreign oil.
Funny how when my representitives said they could not see the economic feasibility behind a national water system and I said to them if you do not do this and begin with the utmost urgency that our economy will decline rapidly starting in mid 2008. Funny how I was right on the mark, and I am not one that can influence the economy in any way. I just happened to be looking with my eyes wide open and looking in the right places.
