    Careful applications of the most modern technologies in the use of the Solar, Wave, Wind, Hydro, Tidal and Geothermal renewable or perpetual Electricity sources is also very important. American lifestyles will have to change! Standards of living will have to go way up! Even humanure is a valued resource flow, as well as grey water, and composting material. Battery cars are inevitable, as are electric bullet train networks. Solar heating and cooling and super-insulation are major considerations for new buildings, as well as partial or complete off grid survival features. To make America strong again many of these environmentally safe, sustainable and self sufficient survival homes are necessary – they create real wealth for the nation. Canadians, in their cold climate have ingeniously used Straw Bale to insulate homes that require only 1/2 chord of wood to heat for a winter where temps reach 30 degrees Celsius Below zero! and don’[t need any air conditioning in summers at 90 degrees above zero Fahrenheit. These folks in this extreme climate pay little or no heating or cooling bills, while Yankee Doodle in better climates pays through the nose because his building is inferior. Wind Power and Straw Bale and home gardening and gray water reuse and battery car create a wealth producing plus for the individual and the nation.

      It is great that Google is going beyond money making to invest in green energy to help the world. They are a multi-billion dollar power house in this economy and has the power to make a difference in todays world. Hopefully more will follow suit to create a larger green energy market. It is great to see the private sector take action and hopefully the public sector will follow soon.
