Municipal Solar Financing

So I stumbled upon this idea the other day while reading an article about New Jersey and it becoming one of the greenest states in America. The idea behind this financing is that the state and local governments will loan an individual the amount needed to retrofit their house/garage/shed with solar panels; then the municipalities would assess a special tax upon the property over 25 years to recoup their investment/loan in your property. I think this is a great alternative for those who want to live more green but don't want to or can't get a loan from traditional sources. I hope that Wisconsin and other states follow this initiative!

Randomness

I am but a student aspiring to reach higher, to become a businessman through which I will exemplify the values of charity, goodwill, and hope. I will not be put down by the struggles ahead but will rise to the occasion, to face the challenge head on. I will not accept defeat, accepting nothing less than the passion of pursuit. You can never be the person you want to be if you are always looking back, behind your shoulder to what could have been!

Define Love, What is It?

Love is but an illusion. A simple "I love you" and a peck on the cheek is all it takes. Today there is a lack of true emotional connection and affection replaced by the inner desire to receive pleasure and dominate. The Bible often speaks of agape love, true love, the love where one would sacrifice him r herself in order to ensure the well being and preservation of their loved one. If love were the basis and foundation of modern relationship there would be no need for bitterness or envy. Instead the relationship would bud and eventually blossom into all of its glory. Mankind sighs at this analogy as old school, "wake up it is the 21st century!" To hold this belief is to hold that love is only relevant in relevant situations, this my friends, as we know, could not be further from the truth. Love in its pure form outlasts even the toughest struggles and battles. But man has made love relevant thus it is only as strong as one's desire to stay together. "Don't forget to wear a glove!"
I mean is that not sad, I think that a gift that is so precious and meaningful that has been reduced to so little is just down right wrong.

All About Me

Well I am pretty easy-going, I love life and hanging out with friends. I am conservative both politically and socially, some call it rigid or stuck-up but I call it polite and thoughtful of those around me. I tend to have my guards up but it is always better to play it safe then to let your guard down and get hurt because of it. I don’t believe in changing yourself or conforming to others because in the end those people will leave you and make you feel like crap. I am caring and full of love, so much so that I want to share it with the world through volunteering and helping out with anything as much as possible. I love doing charity work because I truly feel like I am helping change the world, even if it is only one person. To me charity isn’t about feeling pity for someone, instead it is about sharing your love of life with someone. I sponsor a child, Diana Marisol Peralta Rivera, through Compassion International and it is a joy to do so. I feel so happy and full of life every time I open a letter from her and see the drawings that see has sent to me or the pictures of her face all lit up when she receives a present. To me that is what life is about, not about how many possessions can I have or covet but how much of a difference I can make by simply caring about others. My friends would describe me as easy-going and chill although a little shy. I get frustrated with people who are selfish and careless because when ever you are around them all it is, is self-made drama. Lastly, I am focused and determined, however hopelessly a procrastinator; something of which I still quiet don’t understand.

Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission

The current market based cap and trade of carbon emission and production, proposed by President Obama as a way to "move America into the 21st century" and to challenge the "effects of global warming" is pseudo science at its best. This system will increase taxes on virtually everything from the manufacturing/industrial sector of our economy to the energy sector, from car and gas prices to value-added taxes on plastics....Wake up people, cap and trade will not stop global warming! In the last thousand years we had several "warming and cooling" periods, one such period was called the Mideval Warm Period, there is also evidence of correlation between global temperatures and increased solar activity, additionally these permits are purchased to allow carbon emission while setting up a commodity platform that will investment banks and other large institutional investors hedge bets and create futures that will result in billions of dollars in profit. The goal is not to help the citizens of America and the world at large but to wage a new tax system that will only cripple the middle class. If we want true reform than instate across-the-broad subsidies that make energy saving appliances economically competitive against their competitors. It was once thought that Americans would never want an electric car, remember the EV1, and yet with a focus on the consumers and a slew of new features/advancements the time for electric based vehicles has ripened. Several people think that "Big Oil" are the evil dictators of the world, yet these companies are heavily invested in renewable resources such as biofuels, solar, wind, algae-based energy production, etc... T. Boone Pickens is a prime example, he made his first billion with oil and is now waiting to make his next with renewable resources such as wind and solar. I fully support America's "Green Initiatives" but call for action to be made by American citizens not politicians, who would financially benefit from such policy initiatives (think Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi), and multi-billion dollar corporations. The only person who has your best interest in mind is yourself!

The title of my blog consists of three entities that include among its members only the world's most powerful and wealthy. The following is a quote is from David Rockefeller Senior's 2002 autobiography “Memoirs.” On page 405, Mr. Rockefeller writes: “For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." Mr. Rockefeller was a director on the Council on Foreign Relations. I suggest that you "google" or "bing" these three entities and do a little reading to see how influential these groups are and how many members are our American politicians.

Big Money Buying and Holding Oil

"So far some 62 million barrels of gas oil and jet fuel are being stored in vessels off Europe due to poor global demand and to take advantage of an ongoing contango market -- where prices for fuel for delivery in future months is higher than now (http://www.cnbc.com/id/31793660)." While I do not and will not speak against capitalism, I do think that it benefits no one to allow large investment banks buy and hold oil until oil prices rise and then pocket the gain. America's rules pertaining to the market allow the rich to get richer and at the same time the small guy has only a small amount of capital, so in order to earn only a few bucks the small guy has to sacrifice part of his disposable income to invest. If investment banks can hold oil tankers, why doesn't America herself buy large amounts of oil, over stockpile her refineries and strategic fund, and then when prices to rise cash out the investments and return the profits to Americans through tax refunds or use the profits to pay down the deficit.
