Glenn Beck and GoldLine Stealing Your Money By Making You Freak Out

Written by The Naib

For all you looking to buy gold as a hedge against the coming economic apocalypse…you might not want to allow crazy conspiracy theorists and scamy TV marketers to sell it to you.

The thing I find most crazy about these people, is that they are so quick to just give up and drop out of society. How about instead of building your bunker, you instead work hard to make sure the civilization that humanity has built over the last couple hundred years, the one that brings you food, security, and modern medicine, doesn’t fall apart. Vote, recycle, grow a garden, mentor a child, anything but stock pile gold and guns.

Recycling E-Waste (With A Giant Shredder!)

Written by The Naib

I worked on these issues for a couple of years, and was even involved in some e-waste reuse programs, and this is pretty awesome. I especially like the single source recycling stream. Throw everything into a big shredder and out comes metal, and plastic ready to use.

What would be REALLY cool is if computers and other electronics were built from the ground up to to be recycled. One can dream. Of course the number one way to reduce e-waste is to not buy or use so much electronic crap. Using less means that you have to recycle less.

Urgent Action Needed On Climate Bill

Written by The Naib

Include an RES!

Take Action!

Call and Urge Your Senators to Include A Strong Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) in the Energy Bill

The media is reporting that, in just a few days, the U.S. Senate will begin consideration of a slimmed-down energy bill without a renewable electricity standard (RES). The energy bill is purported to include provisions dealing with the oil spill, energy efficiency upgrades, natural-gas-powered trucking fleets, and land and water conservation.

Although the U.S. wind fleet now offsets nearly 62 million tons of carbon dioxide annually – equivalent to taking 10.5 million cars off the road – the 2010 numbers are looking dismal, with only about 700 megawatts (MW) added to the grid in the 2nd quarter. The industry needs an RES to survive and prosper.

An RES was passed in the House of Representatives ACES Act (H.R. 2454) last year, as well as in the Senate Energy & Resources Committee over a year ago. So why is the Senate now turning its back on American workers and our new energy future?

AWEA CEO Denise Bode said, “A refusal to pass an RES is an attack on every American worker and consumer. Not passing an RES endangers at least 360,000 jobs: 85,000 currently employed in the wind industry and the potential 274,000 additional jobs created by an RES.”

This may be our last hope of passing legislation needed to save tens of thousands of American jobs in one of our country’s fastest-growing industries. Please TAKE ACTION NOW AND CALL YOUR SENATORS to tell them that you support inclusion of an RES in the energy bill.
