Evergreen Solar Plans to Move U.S. Panel Production to China

As long as we continue to purchase these products, they will keep using China and other sweat shop countries.
The ONLY way to stop this is----BUY AMERICAN.
then our jobs will come back home.
Go into Wal Mart, and try to find something made here. BUT, we do not have to shop there. U.S. products can be found if you look for them. The Internet is a great place to shop, "Made in America"

Geothermal Is Getting Red Hot, Part I

Not going to go in this country. Makes too much sense.

Dan Rastler - We Need Cheap Energy Storage

We have had cheap energy storage for years, even decades. Some of them are used just for standby & backup. they are also the absolute cheapest way to generate power. Once built, the prime mover is FREE. Instead of building new ones, there is a movement on dismanteling some of them. It is simply, HYDROELECTRIC.

Why Isn't Midwest Wind-Generated Power Blowing East?

Do not know where you received your midwest wind results. Where we live, central Illinois, the only time we have enough sustainable wind is in March. I'm looking out of the window as I write. Not even a tree leaf is moving.

GM Finds New Life with eBay; BYD Wants Green Buses

Sure wish GM or someone would produce a nat. gas vehicle with an affordable "phill" At todays nat.gas prices the fuel would cost approx. 50 cents for a gallon of gasolene equilavent. Nat gas is "clean", abundent, and OURS. The technology is not NEW.
For $3000 I can purchase a nat gas emergency generator large enough to power my home, which is way more energy then my transportation needs.
All we need is, nat gas motor, home compressor, and a 5000 psi safe fuel tank. These things already exist.
Who and what is in the way of this? And what are we waiting for?
P.S. I cannot afford to replace all those batterys or to charge them up from our coal burning utility company. My electric bill is already too high.

Credit Card Companies Getting Offers They Can't Refuse

Be careful! My credit card company fired me for paying in full every month & having a $30,000 credit line. They wanted me off the books.
Why? I'm not quite sure.

Coal: What Happens if It Isn't Cheap and Plentiful?

Coal will never go away. The clean technology already exists, but not utilized. When the greenies get done jumping around and thumping their chests, we;ll go back to common sense and utilize what really makes sense.

Green Shoots Are Poisonous to Your Wealth

The economy can ONLY improve when the general public can purchase U.S. made goods and services. And we cannot do this unless we are gainfully employed. 14 million Americans unemployed according to our government, but the actual number is more than double this number.
