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

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.
