An Energy Scientist, His Organization, and a Free Read About Renewable Energy
by SERMCAP
continued at Daily Kos....
Almost by convention, an independent engineer is a maverick. A footloose nuclear engineer, even more so, is inevitably revolutionary. Thus, Dr. Arjun Makhijani cannot escape being both interesting and controversial This profile examines the man, his ideas, his organizational mission, and, in a preliminary way, his recent monograph, a publication that not only flies in the face of established U.S. energy policy. but also casts down such a gauntlet with both a richly detailed empiricism and a highly honed conceptual framework.
The upshot of this investigation is pretty easy to state. Dr. Makhijani should be Secretary of Energy for those of us who care both about democratic forms and the Democratic Party.

Put Solar On It!

The roof, that is ...
Received a phone call earlier today from my better 95+%
...
Dominion Virginia Power staff were at my home, at that moment, upgrading the meter to be able to handle net metering. Fingers crossed ... with tomorrow's dawn, my roof will be part of the power generation system covering over 90 percent of my family's electricity usage. A bit more investment (both in terms of sweat and some $s) in energy efficiency, continuing tightening of our own attention to energy use, and we might be soon covering 100% of our power requirements.
My rooftop has solar hot water and solar pv.
It is unique, on both accounts, in my neighborhood.
Being unique isn't always good ... it isn't good in this case.

Dear Mr. President, The Time is NOW
by whoknu
Right now, I sit here completely uninspired and I am angry! I feel helpless. I want to change. I want to break my addiction but I can't do it alone. You are our Leader and you need to start acting the part. You speak for us and you need to start saying the right words. You were elected to lead us, and you need to start NOW. That's right LEAD. You are our Leader. If not now, when? The Gulf of Mexico oil volcano is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY! We need to start acting as if our lives depend on solving this problem, because the truth is, they do. We have had our Crude Awakening. The time is now to show the country what we must do. You know what we have to do. We need to take this disaster, this National Emergency, and use it to make a bold turn towards changing the paradigm. You see, this ship is headed for an ice berg and we need you to pull the wheel hard to the left or we are all doomed.
