I was on the Delmarva Peninsula Tuesday and paid $2.06 a gallon at the cheapest station I could find in Virginia. I to believe in conserving our strategic resources for our children and my grandchildren’s future. Here are two links showing the rapid growth in jobs in renewable and green energy jobs. It is surprising how fast other countries are growing in this sector.

I appreciate those links.

I’m somewhat jaded about the green energy jobs.

Hey, I’m very much for them if the projections pan out. In some instances they don’t.

My emphasis is on site specific systems. I want something that will make every home self-sufficient.

When it comes to energy and water, I like the idea folks aren’t over a barrel to Saudi Arabia, Houston, or the local city power and water provider.

I’m working in that direction myself. I’ve studied up on things and am becoming more knowledgeable about what it takes.

Where firms can retrofit and make their buildings more efficient, I’m all for it.

I’m not rabid about these things. I’m not a greenie by any stretch of the imagination. I do try to be prudent though, and if something make sense, I’m all for it.
