Since you've been following my posts for some time, you're aware of my interest in ALTERNATIVE ENERGIES. If you examine the employment numbers, job creation, local installation, manufacturing and so on, the numbers are impressive.

Bellicose Bumpkin posted an appearance by Rep. Bosley on NECN that contained some comments about WEATHERIZATION. It would seem that that would reduce the stress caused by rising energy costs, as well as increase employment. The LIHEAP program has abandoned the emphasis on conservation.
.I'll post some additional articles for you that are pretty impressive, but for now, I'd like to pass along the following that was posted earlier on BMG:
.What's Next for Climate Change?

(McLaughlin-style PREDICTION: CLEAN ENERGY IS THE DOT COM OF THE 2010'S!! 'Cause, like, we hardly have a choice.
BTW, here's the OpenMass.org link to the legislation in question. - promoted by Charley on the MTA)
(my first post!)
With the Cape Wind hearings being over, and recent posts about "What's Next?" it might be time for a what's next on Global Warming, which is going to be given a huge push at Massachusetts Power Shift , April 11-14 in Boston.
At the beginning of March, the State Senate (in closed door session) passed the Global Warming Solutions Act , which would cap Mass greenhouse gas emissions 20% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. We overcame the voices of hesitation and polluting industry, but the fight rolls on to the House...
Getting a GHG cap passed in the Commonwealth should be the first goal to move us further down the path to sustainability and towards legislation to achieve those goals. To get this job done, young people from across the state are organizing Massachusetts' largest ever climate event in Boston, April 11-14.
Mass Power Shift is going to have tons of workshops (which aren't posted online yet) run by organizations ranging from 1Sky, Environment Massachusetts and the League of Conservation Voters to the MIT Sloan School, Massachusetts Coalition for Healthy Communities, Sustainnovation and Clean Power Now. Keynote speakers confirmed so far include James Woolsey, former CIA director, and Congressman Ed. Markey. They'll be local strategy sessions and lobby training, and a rally/concert on the Common.
We'll, of course, be finishing off the weekend with a lobby day to help get the Global Warming Solutions Act through the House. So come over and check us out, and register. This is what's next.
