WHERE’S IS THE ENERGY PLAN?

 

This newsletter promotes energy independence, independent living and environmental stewardship.

 

The Idea in brief

 

We want to encourage the development and support of Renewable Electric sites distributed along the power grid to:

-         -         Reduce Pollution and health costs incurred from fossil fuels

-         -         Provide jobs

-         -         Reduce the need for military actions to guard oil supplies

-         -         Become energy independent

-         -         Greater availability of electric and less outages

-         -         Lower and more stable electrical costs

-         -         Promote it as a stable independent family small business

-         -         Broaden the tax base in rural areas

-         -         Help encourage research for electrical energy for the world
