Bio-Fuel.....

 
In January of this year, at a meeting of the Engineers Club of Sun City, Arizona, A.P.S. ( the local power company) gave a presentation in which they explained their plans to build such a plant south of Phoenix 
They were very upbeat about it's possibilities.

Talking Points on Climate Change

There's a lot of action brewing on global warming in Washington this spring, from the EPA's move to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to President Obama's push for a clean energy policy that creates jobs and boosts the economy.

But could you succinctly explain what's happening to your neighbor or co-worker? Or refute some of the arguments of opposition groups?

Have no fear. We've got talking points on global warming, rebuttals to opponents of clean energy legislation, simple statements about the EPA endangerment findings, and a Q and A.

For example, did you know that according to a study from the University of Massachusetts, investments in wind and solar create 3 times more jobs as the same investment in coal, and similar investments in mass transit and conservation would generate 4 times more jobs as coal.  Find out more in Talking Points: Curbing Carbon. Because it's always easier to sound like you know what you're talking about when you actually do know.
