2012 Green Sustainable Development Planning & Design, demands BIM, GIS.

greensciences — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:26:04 +0000

As we look to find first choice providers for all future projects, development planning and design plays a very important visual & modeling role.

So much so, that we find ourselves seeking out the people that understand these visual and modeling methods from a truly green sustainable perspective. This means understanding integrated permaculture at the advanced BIM, Building information modeling, and GIS, geographic information system, level.

If you, or your green team, understands sustainability and is able to show green results using BIM & GIS, We want to talk to you.

Our 2012 Energy Report will include the BIM, GIS, development planning and design models needed to move forward.

The Future of development planning and design is NOW.

We welcome all truly green sustainable development planners, designers, engineers and architects as they might wish to consider assisting our green team reach our long term objectives.

Together we may seek to change development with the earth first in mind.

Greens working together to save fuel. Being Done Now. It’s called…

Biofuels should replace M.E. Imports

2011wd — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 01:18:18 +0000

CANADA 1,975

MEXICO 1,229

VENEZUELA 884

BRAZIL 188 This is an ideal working partner source country.

COLOMBIA 489

RUSSIA 553

ALGERIA 379

Advanced Biofuels should be ramped up to replace M.E. Imports as conservation also improves. BTL, or GTL, the future numbers must exceed current projected increases. This sustainable fuels effort would utilize feedstocks that are not food crop oriented. These fuels would support sustainable forest objectives. These biofuels should be in the black on their own merit without subsidies. These biofuels feedstocks would be no till & organic. This is only possible as permaculture integration becomes the norm.

Most have simply missed this important aspect.

This is a long term effort that will require a national scope as it is proven on a regional level. Sustainable Distribution models will begin to produce meaningful advantages as they are designed and developed.

The Oil and Gas Regulation that never should have been changed

2011wd — Sat, 29 May 2010 22:16:04 +0000

There are reasons for most regulations. Protections, oversights, safe guards, all designed to keep the worst from taking place.

This one oil and gas regulation is extremely important and somehow it managed to get changed. Sad but true. No doubt the very first regulation that must be put back on the rule books.

Who’s to blame for the oil spill? http://bit.ly/aGfaqU

The part that sticks out in the article…

Sean Hannity called the spill “Obama’s Katrina,” but it was actually George W. Bush’s second Katrina. Vice President Dick Cheney, fresh from his days at Halliburton, had presided over the weakening of drilling regulations, including the exclusion of remote-shut-off switches (commonly used in the North Sea oil fields), which might have prevented the disaster. The Bush Administration’s petro-bias and antigovernment sensibility soiled the Minerals Management Service (MMS), the agency charged with regulating offshore drilling.

How Rigged is energy trading? How did Banksters get into energy trading?

2011wd — Thu, 13 May 2010 12:17:22 +0000

Until the fuels are cheaper at the pump, these wholesale energy numbers mean nothing to consumers or business. If prices are not coming down at the retail level the rest is just window dressing padding the pockets of WHO?

When did energy trading become such a GIANT SCREW JOB? Who started this SCAM in the first place? How did they do it? Who bank rolled them? How did the Banksters get into Energy Trading? How Rigged is Energy Trading?

Why does all this matter?

There is no real economic recovery without lower prices at the pump! Without an economic recovery that is real there is no new development. Green Sustainable Energy Projects will simply remain on the drawing boards & real alternatives to oil & natural gas will be limited to misguided BTL projects that should never be funded in the first place.

The Green Sustainable Future is defeated before it is started by mountains of money going into the pockets of the energy traders and the Banksters, while consumers and business fight to stay afloat.

CDO’s are just the tip of the iceberg… http://bit.ly/bDNEjb It seems the PROBE dealing with Banksters must start somewhere. This is not where we would start. We would start with energy trading.

Now they revise demand! Still projecting an increase in global demand.

2011wd — Wed, 12 May 2010 10:25:06 +0000

It looks as if the IEA, EIA, and OPEC have all been singing the same tune. Even more demand coming out of China.

The one Energy Forecasting Body from France may soon start to get the potential shift in the wind. It is, as if, all three bodies read the same Crystal Ball. How is that Possible?

http://bit.ly/9uxUqJ The claim, is that China, will be the big new user. When might that change? When the bloom is off the rose. When might that happen? When the R.E. Boom in a global downturn is Exposed as the NEXT BIG SHOE TO FALL. The last thing you want to be doing in a global deflationary market is BUILD. You don’t build when global demand is going down, you downsize. You conserve. You cut back. China has been going the wrong way for a very long time because they could sell into global markets. Those global markets are going where? DOWN

If it an R.E. Boom can be exposed in Japan and America, it can be exposed in China. Over capacity drives prices down, not up. China’s biggest market is where? EU.

If China can’t sell into the global markets as demand goes down, what does that do to the BALTIC DRY? END OF STORY.

Energy Conservation is, has been, and will always be, JOB 1

Mother Jones & #18 get down to facts

$160-$300 Billion Est. Cost per year to Consumers & Businesses due to Energy Speculation

2011wd — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:26:29 +0000

Finally an Energy report worth writing about. Good for the one investment banking firm that seems to consider the merit of truthful reporting. Even as they report in their disclaimer they might be at a conflict of interest.

Read the report here… http://bit.ly/dCEqe6

This goes to the heart of our energy research for many years and the question becomes how did these energy trading divisions make these kind of gains as supply and demand factors didn’t seem to warrant the price action?

Bankers have no DAMN business in ENERGY other than to provide loans. Guess where all these FAT BONUSES ARE COMING FROM THEY ARE PAYING OUT TO EACH OTHER!!!!!!!

Why should we care? It’s hard to talk energy conservation and sound economics without having energy prices fall to lower levels as fuel costs suck both consumers and businesses dry. The only way this nation is going to lead a green sustainable future is to be sound economically. That doesn’t happen without reduced energy prices. There is no green sustainable development on the order that will be needed without loan protection. That loan protection doesn’t happen without a strong dollar and a strong bond. Everything is connected.

Who is attempting to drive prices all over the map and why? Could it be the energy trading divisions of the very same banks that provided the loans to Enron? It would be interesting to look at all 98 banks that provided loans to Enron just to see which ones now have energy trading divisions. We will list them all here.

Could they have learned their current energy trading practices from the old natural gas and electricity trading methods of Enron? Did the banks take stock in Enron as collateral for bad debts knowing they might get first shot at the energy assets that might help them one day have their own energy trading divisions? How is it that banks got into energy trading in the first place? When did this happen? Why? & How?

Congress is talking about demanding action for the very first time, see link here…

http://bit.ly/dgjXTo

We have no conflict of interest. We simply wish to get to the bottom of the who, what, when and why of it. Maybe one day it will be possible to build clean energy projects if we find the answers. If we do, we will not be taking one DAMN DIME from any of these banks that have energy trading divisions and that you can take to the BANK. Better yet take it to your credit union, or community bank. Regional or International if you must.

Breaking the Middle East Oil Cartel. By Raymond J. Learsy.

This is someone I admire in Energy and that is saying a great deal. When you can find a straight shooter, someone who will tell it like it is, then you have someone of great value in Energy.

I will buy the book and review it here, ASAP.

You must understand old energy markets to be successful in renewables. Without that understanding long term success is almost impossible.

Cash for Clunkers. Some don’t seem to like it.

How do these people manage to write for anyone? Selling the company line that’s how.

The question should be…

How do we reduce US DOMESTIC FUEL USE in this country?

HOW?

Increase MPG for all new vehicles purchased and take all of the old gas hogs off the road. What happens If US Domestic Fuel Demand is reduced by 1/3 in four years?

There is no starting up US Auto Plants, providing jobs for US workers. no matter who owns them, without first reducing inventory. As if any idea would have increased sales faster in the last three 3 weeks. As for people buying any way. Sure people will buy cars and trucks but not at this level in a down market. This program is not only successful it should be expanded. The idea is to become energy independent, something that should be regarded as a national security issue of the highest order that somehow seemed to get lost in the shuffle, with the RIGHT RED CROWD.

This is a GREEN ISSUE That should be supported by all AMERICANS, red or blue.

http://move.rmi.org/files/oilmap/RMI_Oil_Imports_Final_large.html

As for Asian Car companies. Many have plants in the US that provide US workers good jobs. IF the US Car Company officers can’t get with the program, my guess is they will be replaced with someone who just might GET IT.

Many green US car company officers do GET IT, IN SPADES.

Electric cars are coming with, or without. BIG US company officers. As for myself, I am looking at a car that will get 62 MPG. That’s half the fuel use I currently use. If every American gets on board with the same mindset, we collective END our dependence of imported from across the OCEAN. There are far more Americans concerned about reducing fuel use than you might think.

Reported today 9-19

Stockpiles dropped 8.4 million barrels last week, the most since the week ended May 23, 2008, the Energy Department report showed. Imports slipped 15 percent to 8.53 million barrels a day, the biggest drop and lowest rate since September when hurricanes struck the Gulf of Mexico coast.

“Refiners were probably nervous about rising stockpiles and the outlook for lower gasoline demand in the months ahead, so they reduced purchases,” said Rick Mueller, a director of oil markets at Energy Security Analysis Inc. in Wakefield, Massachusetts. “You can’t help but pay attention to the massive drop in imports.”

What happens if that import number falls to 5 million BBL?
