time (--FUKISHIMA--) goes into its 7th month of saturating
the northern hemisphere,  shouldn&#039;t someone be confronting
GEs Jeff I--Meltdown about GE&#039;s flawed Mox reactors culpability?

Even as we write, GE is building &#039;dirty plants&#039; TAX FREE
across the world ---and even at US taxpayer expense.</description>

		<description>ToughLove is far more effective than rewarding the miscreant.TARP-bailing out all the stupidity obliviousness and downright crooked behavior is not going to prevent its reoccurance. Regaining integrity is necessary,no matter what the cost.And it will be a very high cost.</description>

		<description>Our ever-increasing need for power and the coal plants that deliver it comes from the power inefficient products that we build and use in our daily lives (take a walk through your house at night and see how many blue and green LED&#039;s are lighting your way past your electric toothbrush, ice dispenser, printer, monitor and cable box.

Companies such as Cadence Design Systems in San Jose are creating tools that allow electronic engineers to design more power efficient ICs than ever before. When the products we use draw less power we&#039;ll need less energy to power them. It&#039;s green design... for the electronics ecosystem.</description>

		<description>Free markets and deregulation work when CEO’s of major corporations, and in particular financial institutions, behave with integrity. Government intervenes, rightfully so, when these CEOs behave irresponsibly, cheat and lie, and Corporate Board Members do not supervise these CEOs as they should. The S&amp;L crisis, Enron’s collapse, Bear Sterns’ de facto bankruptcy, are all examples of such behavior.

Over the years, CEOs of the big 3 US automakers failed to design and build quality cars that Americans and others around the world would buy. In a free market, these 3 automakers would file for bankruptcy because these companies cannot survive under their current Leadership!

When Government intervenes in free markets, it sometimes creates more problems than it solves. The recent Government mandate for Ethanol and the subsidy to produce it are typical examples: While the price of gasoline may have come down, the price of corn and consequently of food staples went up! In a free market, Ethanol would not have been produced.

America prospered over the years and became a world power under free market conditions and deregulation because Americans are honest hard-working people who behave with integrity. Since Government cannot legislate integrity, it has no choice but to regulate, sometimes to the detriment of the Economy. Once Government intervenes, then bureaucrats take over and make things even worse.

We may be facing an emotional, social and economic resetting. However, unless we reinstate integrity in our lives, our corporate boardrooms and Government, America is doomed to fail miserably. Just remember why the Roman Empire collapsed after dominating the World for centuries!</description>

		<description>My question to all this, is there enough individuals with the knowledge to competently work these new clean energy jobs? People are always the X factor in these types of situations, and all the clean environmental research and development in the world won&#039;t help if we cannot find folks educated in a field that, up until recently, has had very little demand.
What kind of degrees are they looking for? How educated does someone have to be to work at a wind farm or clean coal plant? Will the government respond with the appropriate amount of scholarships and incentives for students to earn degrees in these new fields?</description>
