Green Green Business

How about three cheers for the White House and Obama for getting them to do this instead of waiting for the U.S. If the world’s biggest economy can turn green by cooperating, why can’t we?
I meant to say the world’s biggest emitter, I think we still have the larger economy.

"powers not granted to the national government nor prohibited to the states are reserved to the states or the people."

The federal Govt. overstepping their rights… Nationalization going crazy with Obama!

Here is all the codes that the Federal Government is imposing:

California standards that currently ran them BANKRUPT!

It gives the federal government branch of energy power to set any law they want!!!! (.. has the power to change the consumer’s habits anyway they need…)

EVERY HOUSE MUST HAVE AN OUTLET THAT WILL CHARGE AN ELECTRIC CAR.

I’m typing as they say it on c-span… Fannie and Fredie will get a credit for every energy efficient house they loan out….NOT YOU!

Tons of credits to fannie and freddie if they loan to people who can afford their new green standard

all new construction: They tell you what building materials you can use.

the fed. govt. holds the power to decide what is green.

shifts massive amounts of power to the federal Govt. to decide how you can build your house.

all appraisers to be retrained to appraise your house on green standards which will effect the price of house.Your house will be worth less if it is not green… This is for old houses and public buildings too.
Steven.. are you crazy? you into BDSM? You never choose Federal Slavery! Power to the States yes but not transfering all power of the whole United States to ONE HOUSE! That is insane.
basically the Federal Govt. (white house) will come INTO your home and tell you how to live. Slippery slope of Dictatorship.

President Carter tried to help lead our country toward alternative energy by installing solar panels in the roof of the White House. Soon after arriving in DC, Reagan promptly removed them. I believe our President should lead by example and that our first family should be more "green" than most of the rest of us. Overhaul the executive fleet and only use fuel efficient vehicles, add solar panels to the grandeur of the White House, and recycle. Agreed?

House shifts billion toward renewable energy!
Republicans called it a "no-energy bill" because it lacks new drilling incentives, and they derided the new emphasis on renewables as "green pork." The White House threatened to veto the bill on concerns that it could boost energy prices.

Didn’t Bush say that the USA is addicted to oil and needs to find alternate energy sources? Or was he just refering to ethanol?

(sorry if this is a repeat, I posted it in the wrong category)

Jimmy Carter had 30+KwH of solar panels installed on the roof of the White House, in hopes that it would be an inspiration to the entire country.

Ronald Reagan had them removed - 5 months later.

What were Reagan’s motives? Was he supporting "Green" alternatives, or "Energy Chronisim"?
I asked a "Very -Similar" question about 2 months ago.

That question was removed — and I don’t know why….

Let’s see if this one gets removed….

Imagine all the increased emissions caused by the coal fired power plants needed to supply the extra energy to the White House. Would the environmentalists be better off with someone in the White House from say, Alaska? :^)
