I went looking for news on energy efficiency and found this: Private Investment in Green Sectors tops $2 trillion. This was between 2007 and 2009. There is a bright future in green high-performance buildings, it seems. Hazel Henderson, D.Sc.Hon., FRSA, former US government technology advisor and president of Ethical Markets Media said, “this new total [...]

Corporations are permitted unlimited spending on elections and politicking. The Citizens United case made sure of that. Spending now determines who controls. 92% of elections in the USA go to the candidate who spends the most. Here is a good read on how and why we must rectify the situation or risk further withering of [...]

Its hard anymore to find a politician as successful and honorable as President Clinton. And he supports energy efficiency! He knows government policy should support it and not the status quo of oil and coal. By the way, most of those politicians oughta forget it and get a job! I am driven to help building [...]

Misinformation spreads like wildfire among those who do not read or watch more than one source of news. So-called conservative groups, like the Heritage Foundation, are particularly good at confounding this group.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their [...]

I am worried now. A new report just came out showing that 85% of CMMS (Computerized Management and Maintenance System) software being purchased is not being used. This is software that is supposed to be used by facilities managers to streamline their work, but apparently without much eagerness. An excellent commentary in this months Engineered [...]

Some people in communications, and in the real estate and investment arena, have been making assertions that green buildings have economic benefits not worth the trouble and expense. This is to imply that improving energy efficiency and measuring the results is not worth the trouble. I say B.S. I am not interested in casting shame [...]

Let us go back to the tried and proven. The Bush sponsored tax cuts did not do what they were supposed to do. We forgot to take Teddys advice, as quoted below. The tax cuts did not increase our national economic vitality one wit. They should be allowed to expire post-haste. Especially since we need [...]
