Renewable Energy for Your Home

Have you ever wanted to power your home using Renewable Energy? Do you think it's not available in your area? Well the Environmental Protection Agency has a tool that shows you what areas are using renewable/Alternative Energy to fuel the local utility company.

After you click on this link, just select your state and a popup will show you the available alternative energy programs in your state.

The reality is that on average you will end up paying $0.02 more per kWh (kilo watt hour) than the standard charge. However if you do sign-up, you will have peace of mind knowing that you are making a difference.

I realize that a lot of us are watching our money these days, however if you can afford the extra charge on your electric bill, you will be sending a good message. That message is that you care about the environment and you support the alternative fuel/energy way of life. After-all, living in an Eco Friendly manner is a lifestyle.

This way of life is one that I choose for myself, how about you?

California Unanimously passes Strictest building codes in the USA

It looks as though California is taking the lead on Eco Friendly building practices. Starting next January, any new home, business or hospital building will have more strict codes to follow. I realize that those within the construction industry will complain about the new codes, but that is because the new codes are new. In two years they won't remember why they were complaining.

I hope that this is just the beginning of our Eco Friendly revolution. The sooner that this way of life becomes the everyday norm, the sooner we start to repair the years of destructive practices that are so common now.

Hemp for Victory movie

This is the classic Hemp for Victory movie from 1942 that was made by OUR Government. The movie was made to inspire our farmers to grow Industrial Hemp to help the USA win WWII.

Without the use of Industrial Hemp many of our fighting men and women would not have had proper shoes to wear. There some reports that say that their uniforms, most Naval riggins, most parachute riggings and more was made from Industrial Hemp.

With today's technology, many experts predict that there could be over 20,000 different products that could be made from Industrial Hemp. All of these diiferent uses and the plant could help clear our atmospere of the dangerous chemicals that have been emitted by so many different industries.

Hemp is the one and only yearly renewable resource that could be utilized to make us energy independent and yet fill ALL of our needs for paper, textiles, building products and so much more. If the USA is to become completely energy independent, Industrial Hemp will need to be one of the components to help us to reach that destination.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox. The movie is nearly 11 minutes in length. When you are watching, please keep in mind that this is from 1942. With modern technology, the processing would be much faster and the monetary value would be in the BILLIONS. Can you say no deficit?

Why China and Europe Invest More in US Wind Power than the US Does : TreeHugger

This article helps explain why U.S. banks are dropping the ball and keeping the U.S.A. from becoming a world leader in developing wind power technology. Why China and Europe Invest More in US Wind Power than the US Does : TreeHugger

If the USA is to become a world leader in renewable energy technology, we the people are going to have to demad it. The more that we demand it, the more big busine- including banks, will finally get a clue. The USA should be a world leader in renewable energy technology. If we fail at this endeavor, we will continue to be enslaved to foreign countries to power America. This needs to change.

For the USA to stand tall and become strong with a strong economy and low unemployment, we have to become a world leader in renewable energy technology. This is not a time to be fickle. Let's be bold and have some pride about Made in the USA products.

Rick Simpson Hemp Medicine Guru

For those people not familiar with Rick Simpson, I'll just repost some of the info that I have found.

Rick Simpson - Cancer Cure

this interview is HIGHLY recommended! A Film By Christian Laurette - After a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought relief from his medical condition through the use of medicinal hemp oil. When Rick discovered that the hemp oil (with its high concentration of T.H.C.) cured cancers and other illnesses, he tried to share it with as many people as he could free of charge - curing and controlling literally hundreds of people's illnesses... but when the story went public, the long arm of the law snatched the medicine - leaving potentially thousands of people without their cancer treatments - and leaving Rick with unconsitutional charges of possessing and trafficking marijuana! Canada is in the middle of a CANCER EPIDEMIC! Meet the people who were not allowed to testify on Rick's behalf at the Supreme Court of Canada's Infamous Rick Simpson Trial on September 10, 2007... INCLUDING A MAN WHO WAS CURED OF TERMINAL CANCER USING HEMP OIL! IF YOU SEE ONLY ONE DOCUMENTARY THIS YEAR... MAKE IT THIS ONE! video link.

I found this information to be amazing and it made me hopeful. How or rather why? Well, if enough people starting seeking this medicine and demading that it be made available, maybe just maybe it would actually become available for those who need the help.

Look into this, it may just save your life or someone you love.
