Growing power

Came across this site doing research http://www.growingpower.org/index.htm
Are they rocking or what? What a great way to help empower folks to help themselves.
Also with Urban Farming we learn how to grow our own foods bring control of that into our hands.
Some of us might have the chance to grow a surplus to sell at a farmers market. Groups like this are a great way to learn.
Please check out the site and visit.

New Year

I will be posting more in the new year. Xmas was a time for me to spend with my wife.
Was also a good chance to reflect on what more I can do to reduse reuse and recycle.
Some of my freinds think I have turned into a left wing nut job. Far from it. As I have said before we need to do more to reduse the amount of engery we inport from oversea's, as well as do more to produce more of our own be it Bio- Coal-Nuke-Solar-Wind and drill for more oil here.
Why toss cans, plastic, or glass away to fill dumps if we can recycle it? (Myself I would forbid the sale of recycle metal/plasic to the PRC) so much cheeper to reuse or recycle then put in landfills.

Cuba can and the US can not part II

Santa Clara - (Prensa Latina) - Scientists from the Central University of Las Villas are making fuel from waste of the sugar industry, in a process that does not affect production of food for human consumption. The study, currently in its lab trial phase, envisages obtaining biodiesel from a waxy waste eliminated in the process of clarification of sugarcane juice, Cuban National News Agency (AIN) reported. Director of Las Villas University Analysis and Processes Center, Gretell Villanueva, said the process differs from the normal worldwide manner of producing biofuels from vegetable oils obtained from grains, including corn and soy, which are earmarked for the human diet.
(Cuba Weekly)


I will be contacting the US Department of Energy to be sure that this county is not working on the same idea.
As Much as I belive Cuba needs to remove Castro, I have to say they are doing some interesting research in energy.

From Winstats

UK: A massive expansion of offshore wind farms could generate enough electricity to power every home in Britain, a report says. Officials in London and Edinburgh are discussing Whitehall's Strategic Environmental Assessment, which could boost wind energy 30-times by 2020, Scotland's The Herald reported Monday.

That is a good start.

Check this site out to find investment opportunities in being green.
As more of us think and act Green these should do very well.
Myself I think that Wind Power is going to take off in this State.
