Show Me The Money

Introduction

Allow me to say at the outset that I am 56 years old. The sky has been falling for most of my life, and it has never once hit the ground that I know of. My childhood home had a fallout shelter because the Soviets were going to bomb us back to the stone age. Jesus was going to rapture the church and the Tribulation would follow. Global cooling was bringing another Ice Age. After a while, you simply stop listening.

Now, even I think I'm beginning to sound like… Continue

Why go Paperless-USA Green Jobs.Org weighs in or out?

With all the Presidential news media, the state of the economy, etc., there seems to be a lack of
new data regarding new activity for change. Just the other day I was driving in North St. Paul, and
noticed a huge wind tower that must have recently been installed. That truly gives me hope. As far as seeing
new energy vehicles on the highway; we still have a long ways to go. Continue

National Energy Lottery in Support of Pickens Plan

If the Pickens plan (which I support) supported a National Energy Lottery (see blog below) proposal and the 4 million followers donated 5 bucks a week for this Energy Raffle, there would be 800 winners a week or 41,600 winners a year
