Who donated the most to Bush 2000 campaign, and let him use his lear jet for free?

_And was in Texas, but behind one of California’s biggest power scandals- almost bringing energy companies to the brink bankruptcy?

((clue; sounds like a potatoe chip company))

Texas leads push towards wind-power

Texas, a US state that first grew rich from oil, is now turning to wind-power for its next energy bonanza. The biggest windmill farm in the US has recently sprung up in the Texas town of Roscoe, which has the capability of generating power to thousands of homes. The promise of a plentiful, carbon emissions-free energy source has attracted billions of dollars to the US from international investors. Al Jazeera’s Tom Acerman reports from Roscoe, a place locals call the “Saudi Arabia of wind”. [August 4, 2010]

Is Texas Congressman Ron Paul a conspiracy theorist or does the Bush regime have America fooled again?

by TX Congressman Ron Paul -http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2006/ts…
Globalists & one-world promoters never tire of coming up with ways to undermine the sovereignty of the US. The most recent attempt comes in the form of the misnamed “Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America (SPP).” In reality, this new “partnership” will likely make us far less secure and certainly less prosperous. According to the SPP website, this “dialogue” will create new supra-national organizations to “coordinate” border security, health policy, economic and trade policy, and energy policy between the governments of Mexico, Canada, and the United States. As such, it is but an extension of NAFTA- and CAFTA-like agreements that have far less to do with the free movement of goods and services than they do with government coordination and management of international trade.

if the SPP is so benign, why is Bush keeping it a a secret?
If it was so great wouldn’t he want to tell the world?
God knows he hasn’t had any good press that he hasn’t bought since he has been in office…

Anybody out there using a solar heated stirling engine to generate residential electricity?

I am a general contractor in Texas, I am currently designing a environmentally friendly home for myself and young family to live in. I am viewing my options on electricity generation, i.e PV with battery and invertor, bio diesel generators, solar powered stirling engine, possibly offsetting solar power with wind. I have a design for a trombe wall which will help cool the house in the summer and heat it in the winter. Solar powered H2O heaters are a no brainer, My brother in the UK has one and has an abundant amount of hot H20. The cooling system will probably encompass geo-thermal energy, again a lot of systems available, unfortunately for the masses these systems are more expensive than traditional energy sucking compressors and heat exchangers. Hopefully by the time I invest in renewable energy for my home the government will offer more than a $2000.00 TAX credit toward the investment.
If so please forward me details.

Why are the oil companies threatening to raise prices of gas if oil is “imported”? Are they too cheap to pay?

I’m talking about prop.87 which is supposed to allow for alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power. Those opposed to the bill are mostly oil companies which would be required to pay a tax on the oil produced in California. { I don’t know if this type of legislation is present elsewhere} But why would we have to import oil in the first place. The same thing was done in Texas and Alaska and no oil was imported from outside sources. Is this just a big scare by the oil companies to keep people from voting for this
proposition simply because it would hurt there pockets? I think that the oil companies have a duty to help stop air polution. And if it takes a bill such as proposition 87 to bring this about, then I think the oil companies can certainly afford it without passing the cost down to the consumer……..

Where can you buy insurance for connecting to the power grid with a wind generator in Texas?

I have a friend who would like to install a wind generator for electricity, but the local power company will not let him connect to the power grid unless he can show that he has a million dollars insurance. Well, he cannot find any company that offers that type of insurance for any price. He has written to everyone he can think of but still no source of insurance. The reason he wants to connect to the power grid is to use it as his storage system so that he doesn’t have to maintain a whole bank of storage batterys. Does anyone know where he can get this type of insurance for a system that will be in the state of Texas?

I’m looking for governments grants for solar power house in Texas?

I live in Brownsville Texas were the sun is free not the light bill.
