Comments on: Obama’s New Energy Plans http://obama.net/obama%e2%80%99s-new-energy-plans/ a resource and opinion site Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:31:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Russ Bradford http://obama.net/obama%e2%80%99s-new-energy-plans/comment-page-1/#comment-395 Russ Bradford Tue, 12 May 2009 02:53:28 +0000 http://obama.net/?p=483#comment-395 I would like to se Mr. Obama consider the PRE-Plan, a plan to allow consumers to fund renewable energy projects and to receive a portion of the energy produced as their return on investment. Using this plan an investment of around $5,000 can potentially eliminate a consumers utility bill for 20 to 30 years. The plan is basically a combination of an energy co-op, retail wheeling, and net-metering; yet different in many aspects. The best part of this plan is that it isn't funded by the federal government, instead, it is paid for in its entirety by consumers. The utility os compensated for its costs and allowed a profit, but it is most definitely not a continuation of the same failed policies and practices that got the US and the world into this mess. More can be read about the plan at my web site. This is a well thought out and well considered plan and it will take the legislative backing of government to make it really go, but as I say, it doesn't have to cost the taxpayers anything yet it truly can raise the trillions needed to make renewable energy happen in a big and sustainable way.

We are a generation of Quick and Simple, (fast food, drive through, hurry up, no time.) I am a limited traveler, but have found it inconvenient to try to make someone understand what I need or where I want to go. I have also worked and have friend who has worked with foreigners and their is a defendant communication gap. I think learning another language is almost at a crucial stage but in our hurry up world, and in a hurry up situation; who has time. My idea is simple, and can be used by anyone who can read. Very simple concept, so many many translations to go through. These could be sold at site specific airports, resorts, vacation spots or in a luggage store while choosing what pieces of baggage to take a set and slip in a pocket or bag to your destination. Just think of the people going to the Olympics trying to communicate just where you want to go or see what event you to see. Cost effective, and simple to use, no book to search through. Even the military could take advantage of this. I had a friend who had been deployed to Afghanistan; her comments to me were; “if we could only communicate with these people.” Thank you for taking time to hear my idea. So many other places and things to translate. Restrooms, restaurants’, (simple as a spoon or fork), parks, beaches, land marks. Drinking water, shopping. AND it would create JOB. To help getting it global. Barbara Coletti Idea from Barbara Coletti, from Wyoming.
