SOLAR Energy idea from Oregon no upfront money; Homeowner signs
a 15-year contract, paying $25 a month to the company. SolarCity
installs guarantees and insures the 3.2 kilowatt system of 16
solar panels.
St. Stephen’s Day 2010, Irish wind power output averaged for the
day was about 1000 MW.
Energy output from solid biomass combustion in EU rose by 3.6%
over the 2008 figure in 2009 to reach 72.8 Mtoe.
Everything must be done to prevent the government before it
leaves office making a law binding emissions reductions to an
average of 2.5% a year up to 2020 and by 40% against 1990 levels
by 2030. Such a law could cripple the country as things are
serious enough already with the banks.
HSE and hospital staff can always have people waiting in the
emergency ward, then use the media to soften the public to pour
money into the system. Rise in health insurance is no surprise,
patients will privately talk about waste and over manning,
everyone is afraid to talk, because we or out loved ones will be
at their mercy sometime. If patients were charged a percentage
of the cost of health care, they would be more vocal.
