  • Switch to a laptop instead of using a desktop computer and cut three-quarters off your electrical use. Turn off the laptop at the end of the day.

Let the Oil Companies Bail Out the Car Companies

It seems like we should let the oil companies loan the "bailout" money to the auto makers. Think about it we put the presure for reapyment on the oil companies direct. In order for the clean tech portion to work you would have the Federal Govt. raise the MPG requirement to 50 miles per gallon by 2014. Plus, all profit above $5B would go into a job creation pool that can be accessed for clean tech jobs only.

So in on swoop we solve the auto bailout, we have the oil profits fund clean tech and we revitalize the economy.

Everybody needs fresh water. Without water people, animals and plants cannot live. Although a few plants and animals can make do with saltwater, all humans need a constant supply of fresh water if they are to stay fit and healthy. Of the total supply of water on the Earth, only about 3 percent of it is fresh, and most of that is stored as ice and snow at the poles, or is so deep under the surface of the Earth that we cannot get to it.
