'Right Kinds of Behavior' Needed for 'Clean Energy Future,' Says Interior Secretary
August 14, 2013 - 11:13 AM By Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) - The "new energy future" will require the federal government to encourage "the right kinds of behavior," Interior Secretary Sally Jewell told a clean energy summit in Nevada on Tuesday.
"When you are getting into a new energy future, you really benefit from having the support of states -- and the federal government encouraging the right kinds of behavior and encouraging those incentives (for solar panel installation), she said.
Jewell mentioned the "right" kind of behavior twice in her speech, without specifically saying what it means. But she did give some hints.
In the first reference, Jewell was discussing the various ways that REI reduced its carbon footprint when she chaired the company. She said REI's carbon-reduction efforts began as "random acts of kindness -- things like encouraging people, including employees, to ride bikes to work; using green energy where we could, recycling and those things...."
Jewell's second reference to the “right” kind of behavior came at the end of her speech:
"If we're going to address climate change, we need to pull together as leaders to make it happen -- leaders in business, leaders in utilities, leaders in states, leaders in private industry, leaders in government, and leaders as individuals. We need to wake up and look at the landscapes and admit what's happening around us. We need to ask ourselves, how can we be part of the solution? How can we provide incentives to reward and incent the right behavior? How can we hold each other accountable?"

No doubt this will be the job of that new cadre of Alinski followers who are to “nudge” the tax drones into the administration’s agenda.
Playing shuffleboard in Ocean City, NJ last week. It used to be lit up at night every summer. We got there just before dusk. Waiting for the lights to come on when it started getting dark....nothing. Then one of the lights started to flicker for a few minutes like a cheap flashlight. The lights never came on full and we had to leave. Wouldn’t be so annoying if I didn’t know the public building sitting right next to it had millions of dollars worth of solar panels on it. What is the point? We are willingly turning into a third world country? Why?
> funny how easy it is to tell LGBT freaks from regular folks...
“Encourage” and “behavior” and “incentive” are just pretty Progressive words they use when they’re really talking about mandates and tyranny.
Sally be the decider of what behavior is right
From what I’ve seen lately it looks like the homos might have turned gay because of their looks and were tired of being alone..
She should lead by example by riding her bike into work and shuting off her air conditioner.
“You are a bimbo”
Even by Clintonesque standards, this horse-faced woman may be in the Kerry class, but nowhere near Bimbo league.
“We are willingly turning into a third world country? Why?”
This is what really steams me! I hate to use the old frog-in-the-pot parable but that is what is happening here. Hardly anyone remmebers toilets that work well, and now we have many other appliances (washers, dishwashers, etc.) that don’t work worth a diddle and are horribly expensive and detergents that don’t clean. Instead of blaming the enviro-fascists, the EPA, and liberals, people blame the companies making these products. It’s infuriating!
This is causing more than just inconvenience. There is some evidence that keeping water heaters at a lower temperature makes it a fine environment for breeding germs. It is possible some people are getting respiratory infections from shower spray. Also, germs not being killed in laundry.
Socialism destroys the environment and creates health hazards. Capitalism and private property create progress, prosperity, and a cleaner, healthier environment. Too bad people are too dumb to believe it.
Don’t forget those who leave the bathroom without turning off the light.
There fixed it.

Anywhere I go will be in a gas powered car, no exceptions.

Oh, yes, and they also told people not to put up Christmas lights. No wonder we all waited in line (some for hours even after they knew Carter had lost) to vote against that sorry sack of pooh.
Obama and his corrupt minions don’t care about the laws, Well they do, but only the laws they impose.
I am thinking that folks need to just ignore laws we don’t like. So you don’t like Obamacare, ignore it.
Whatever the O admin imposes. Ignore them. They are evil and corrupt.
