Recovery package is looking good
Published February 12, 2009 @ 09:45AM PT
We are hearing good news about the recovery package, although with the sausage-making nature of behind the scenes conference reporting we cannot be sure what exactly is in there, but we have been told that the Recovery package bill allocates $30 billion for smart grid technology, advanced batteries, and energy efficiency measures, along with $5 billion for home weatherization and $4.5 billion to make federal buildings more energy efficient -- closer to the House version than the Senate's. So that is good news.

I support green. We built our home as an E-Star home with Geo-thermal. Cleaner air for my kids and less energy usage is money well spent. New Technology and less wasted resources is an engineer’s dream.
I really didn't care for the trillion dollar war spent in Iraq. Iran was happy we invaded Iraq. It allowed them access to Iraq. Poor Exxon lost a contract with Southern Iraq because the bid conference was managed through Iran. Exxon is still a good investment.
If others don't agree with my view, that is okay.
