Mandatory Renewable Energy




Mandatory Renewable Energy

In order to insure our energy independence, without being blackmailed by foreign countries and better economic growth.
The Federal, State and local government should implement a mandatory Renewable Energy installation for residential and commercial property on new construction and remodeling, with the use of Energy Efficient material, mechanical systems, appliances, lighting etc.
Source of Energy must be Renewable Energy, such as Solar-Photovoltaic, Geothermal, Wind, Biofuels etc.
The implementation could be done on a gradual scale over the next 10 years. At the end of the 10 year period all construction and energy use in the structures throughout the United States must be 100% powered by renewable energy.
In addition the governments must impose laws, rules and regulations, whereby the utility companies must comply with a fair “NET METERING” (the buying of excess generation from the consumer)
Promote the research and production of Renewable Energy Technology with various long term incentives and grants. Utilize various foundations to contribute to this cause.
Utilize Water from Lakes, Rivers and Oceans to circulate in cooling towers to produce Air Conditioning. Utilize proper landscaping to reduce energy consumption.

We should also include a mandatory time table for the automobile industry to gradually produce an automobile powered by renewable energy. The American automoble industry is surely capable of accomplishing this task.

This is a way to expedite our energy independence and economic growth.

It will take a maximum effort of the private, commercial, industrial and government sectors commitments to renewal energy, in order to achieve our energy independence.
