Sundance channel has two new eco-series

Free housing = -negative- carbon footprint ; yes it is profitable...*

Free Trade for CLEAN Energy = $1,500 income per home ($.05 / KWH) each month!

Isn't -accurate- free trade a right in a healthy community?

What other free society foundation definitions have been marginalized in the past 50 years?

Basically, if a person can get a (reasonably) guaranteed price of $.05 / KWH for energy that they generate, (20 HP @ $.05 = $1,500/mth per home, & $7,000,000/mth per 5,000 homes, for watching the windmills go round) then people can profit in finding ways to make the machinery to do so.

Once that is done, 20 HP energy generation (that results in $1,500 / month in return) will allow banks to be comfortable in lending the money for the solar-home / car-convertors (whatever) that do this. With a car payment of $300, and a mortgage payment of $800 (possibly distributed automatically), that still leaves $300 for taxes, and insurance, and food. All this without being any burden on the State.The figures are ballpark, but I would expect the banks to adjust the levels to provide a better level of food / personal income for the kind of return this represents.

* One example:

The LP gas utility increases production of thawing methane resources to capture the gas before it can escape to the atmosphere. It sells the gas to the home owner who can turn the gas into heat and electricity for the home, (plus 2 HP constant extra), using a auto engine equipped with an extra catalytic converter that turns the carbon dioxide into calcium carbonate (this is effective for this range of engine conversion size to 40(?) HP constant). for a check from the utility company of $150 each month (about the cost of the LP gas bill, plus that much more for the pocket). -No changes required to utility infrastructure, and the utility doesn't have to build, man, or maintain the energy generation source; they become a _more profitable_ broker.-

If larger generation capacity is wanted, (20 HP for $1,500 return), a larger monthly connection fee is billed the location, for the upgrade in the wire, equipment, and transformer size, and the LP gas bill would be about $750, with a balance of $700 for profit each month. Any windmills or solar would result in reducing the LP gas bill, making small farms more secure in growing food/energy crops instead of some of the crap they now -have to- sell.

More than that; correct type of homes built / upgraded get more jobs, in the local area. Energy costs for manufacturing and transportation go down -and remain low-. Labor benefits improve for workers, because they don't need a job , absolutely, right away, and small business will have more money to move around.

Free home, security, transportation, food, and insurance,... and all a person has to do is sign a paper (and maybe get a vasectomy in the dangerously over populated parts of the world).

Some math;

20 HP of CLEAN energy conversion machinery per household, (@ $.05 / KWH) = $1,500 per home of extra income, - each month - .

Multiply that by a community of 5,000, and that = $7,000,000 of restructured money flow - per month - for that community alone!

Not to mention how much carbon it removes from the planet.

Do us all a favor and promote the following....

Why CAN'T I sell CLEAN ENERGY to my neighbor (for $.05 / KWH)?

Simple concept isn't it? We all want cheaper (elect.) energy. We all would prefer to buy clean energy if it were available. And, most of us would prefer to buy from a local supplier (especially if the main grid goes down). Why is this concept so "radical" that no politician wants to touch it with a ten foot pole? Just what is really going on here? Isn't the local utility just an ISP, that both you (the content supplier), and
your neighbor (the content customer), pay to, for the right of connection?

If you can show (on an annual inspection) that the energy you generate (on a small farm say) is clean, (or
actually -removes- carbon from the atmosphere), with today's technology for phase regulation, and line
safety, then the only price regulation concerning the local utility should be the size of the transformer and wire coming into your source required to feed your electricity to the grid, and your connection fee be adjusted accordingly. Who cares how it is generated; ethanol fuel cell auto, LP fuel cell home kit, solar, wind,... pig spit (!), as long as it meets the standard for the carbon load to the utility. How many
new business would this technology generate?

I should (as a consumer) be able to go to a web site and purchase -clean- energy futures for any rate that anyone (within a local area) wants to sell it to me for.

The arguments being presented by the utilities are

I've enjoyed all the green shows I've seen on Sundance.

I especially found the ones about alt energy for homeowners, and green food, interesting. Anything that shows how single middle-class individuals might be able to make life changes, one step at a time, is best. But I also enjoy hearing the Big Thinkers sharing their ideas. Very inspiring.

"Is this programming progressive?"

You mean "progressive" as in what liberals have turned to calling themselves these days because the word "liberal" has become synonymous with failed ideas, hopeless anti-American socialist agenda and hypocrisy? Then, yeah, it's progressive.

Rather than change what you call yourselves you should focus on changing your core beliefs by learning from your constant mistakes rather than repeating them over and over as has been done for so many decades right up to today. Remember what Shakespeare said about a name...
