SolarPathfinder - finding the SUN

I came across this cool little company who makes a very useful tool for finding the Sun. The Solar Pathfinder™ gives an entire year’s solar potential for a given site in just seconds. This non-electronic instrument will optimize solar energy extraction. AWESOME :-) Check it out.

SOLARMOBILE - from the TrueGreen Automotive Group

From Solar Power to Cars -

So if Opel is to be sold to SolarWorld, then why can't we sell Ford and GM to SunEdison? or EverGreen? I think this would propel forward the TrueGreening of the Automobile industry and create a SolarMobile we can all dream of. No more nasty, stinky gasoline and ending our dependency of foreign petroleum. FINALLY - we would would re-invent the car after 100 years of engine stagnation.

The excuse that "there is no capital" is unacceptable"..

DRILL BABY DRILL.. YUCK.. How about USE YOUR BRAIN BABY USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!!!

The Battle Between our political "leaders" continues on the issue of Energy Independence. Take a look at this video...



Some "Highlights" of what is up for grabs:
House of Reps. passes bill that allows more offshore drilling, repeals tax cuts for oil industry

Lifting of offshore drilling ban a top Republican priority

White House says bill is full of "poison pills" that show "lack of seriousness"

Prospects for bill in the Senate are unclear; time is running out before elections


Why don't we change the message and stop thinking about Drilling, and move towards Inventing.. Inventing and innovating on all fronts. Unleashing an entrepreneurial deluge of ideas, visions, and execution. Why are we still thinking about Drilling when we could invent so many other ways to generate energy independence? Is our country that incompetent that we still believe our only solution is oil? NO NO NO..I have faith in our ability to create "INTELLIGENT-ABUNDANCE." I am convinced that if our Government creates a framework of incentives that will drive investors, research and entrepreneurs to move forward we will truly unleash - THE GREEN MONSTER and thereby create a GREEN RIGHTS MOVEMENT.. I HAVE A dream!! Sound Familiar?? :)

“Every morning a Squirrel wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest car or it will be killed. Every morning a Vulcher wakes up. It knows it must hope the slowest Squirrel does not outrun the slowest car or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Squirrel or a Vulcher... when the sun comes up, you'd better be praying.”
Is this what we want the race for OIL to be? A hideous race? STOP our dependency on Foreign Oil, STOP our dependency on Dirty Energy sources, STOP playing Squirrel or Vulcher - Let's reinvent our SURVIVAL capacity - let's learn and be the SWAN!

Taking GREEN greens to the Bank

Some years ago I met Rep. Jay Inslee. A politician who is driving the effort of IntelligeceAbundance by proposing legislation that will generate new Green Jobs, and propel a deluge of eco-preneurialism. He wrote a very inspiration book titled "Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy." Jay Inslee is a recognized leader in Congress on energy issues and is the prime sponsor of the New Apollo Energy Act, a comprehensive plan to build a clean energy economy in America.

Today Jay Inslee is pushing further by introducing the "Renewable Energy Jobs and Security Act" which similarly to the EU's Feed-in-Tariff legislation, it requires:
1. A guarantee to interconnect renewable energy to the grid with uniform standards
2. A mandatory purchase requirement through long-term contracts with fixed tariffs
3. A rate-recovery through a regional cost-sharing and systems benefit charge

Our Political leaders are making some cool changes.. Check out Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi - she is a total Bright Green.

Bright Green

Hi Everyone,

Today I start the journey of creating a fun, informative, audacious, and totally new blog. I call my Blog IntelligentAbundance! because it is about finding intelligent and abundant solutions to deal with the global warming challenge.

I am what you call a "BrightGreen Environmentalist." Bright Greens are more about cool ideas, models and tools to overcome the issues facing the global climate challenge. It does not focus on the bleakness, and direness of global warming, but rather on the opportunities this challenge gives us. Bright Greens are energizing, entrepreneurial, driven, ambitious to find solutions.

So WELCOME! together we can find some really awesome ideas and solutions.
