Prop 16 is an attempt by PG&E Corporation to take over the California govt.
by preventing citizens from using Solar power, or selling Solar power to PG&E.

It would prevent citizens from being able to pass local law to use Solar power.
Prop 16 would allow PG&E to block any local group from selling Solar power back to PG&E.

Prop 16 in Undemocratic.
Prop 16 imposes a 66% votes to pass any new laws.

If you have been in any group, you know how impossible it is to even get a 51% approval to pass a simple agreement.

Now PG&E wants to require a vote of 66% before any new law to install Solar power in any county can be passed.

June 2010, Vote NO, NO, NO on 16. It is a sick law.

Likewise, Prop 14 is a fascist attempt to ban the Green Party & Peace & Freedom Party from the ballot.

Vote “NO” on Prop 14, to develop democracy.

Election June 2010.

PG&E is using rate payers $$$ money to lie to rate payers.

Ripping you & me off for $ millions, by spending our money to destroy Marin’s efforts to use Solar power to stop PG&E from burning dirty COAL,
which is dumping tons of mercury into the air. Vote NO on Prop 16.

Building new solar powered BERM housing is the best way to fight against global warming.

Emergency demonstration against building Levees around Sacramento. 11am, at the Federal Building,

Be visible. Bring signs.

We can’t have both health care & war fare.
Bring the troops home by Christmas.

Now if we could just get CA$H for clunker houses.

Most houses cost too much to fuel: coal, electricity, gas.

If the govt. would pay us to build solar powered houses, we could get independent from the Saudi oil pirate who attacked us on 911.

Cost of a Solar powered berm House.

Construction $250 k
Land $ 40 k
Cost of driving a gas car 8 years $300 k

The solar house stand alone & requires no coal, no gas, no electricity. The money you save over 8 years pays for the house.

If you plug your electric car into your solar panel, you drive for free for 8 years, saving $300k.

If cash for cars worked great, why not ca$h for solar houses?

President Obama, what effect will global warming have on Bees? Here is a solution.

Honey bees saved with free spray.  

Bee keepers have found a natural spray to   prevent the spread of diseases in bees, increase honey production by 30%.  

They spray cow pee on the eggs.    

This works far better than any other anti-microbial spray
to save the eggs from microbial infections.

The bees become calmer & 
happier.   The bees clean the hive better, fight less and have more energy.

Scientists Ruchiva Tiwari & Mr. Gurband  have been doing this research at the 

Golden Ball University of Agriculture in Uttarakhand, India for 3 years.

This allows them to recycle cow urine, which usually just goes to waste.

      India has a 5,000 year history of using cow urine.   

Cow Urine has been used also to treat skin infections on people.

      Mahatma  Gandhi developed TB in prison in the 1950’s.

Gandhi was famous for having cured his own TB by recycling his own perfect medicine, 

his urine.

http://www.ForYourGuide.com/ — Home Solar Power Systems

Solar power can be used in our everyday lives by adopting the following solar power systems:

Solar cooking system: Solar cooking is about cooking without lighting a fire or using electricity!

Before you wonder, let me tell you that solar cooking is not about bland food.

You can cook in more ways than one boil, roast, or bake, cook the way you want!
The only demand that solar cooking makes of you is being patient; it is a matter of more than a few minutes.
However, it is not asking for too much given that you will get tasteful and healthy food without worrying about paying your gas or electricity bill.

Solar lighting system: You can now light, use every electrical appliance without thinking about cutting down bills.
The solar lighting system lights up your house even in the nights, thanks to the power storage feature it has.

Solar heating system: You can keep your house cozy and warm using the solar heating system without worrying about costs.

This is a 75 cu ft Solar over that took about 5 days to build. Every connection is sealed with silicone. The maximum air temp measured with all the mirrors in place reaches 221 F with 70 F outdoor temperature.

We have a bit more work to do as 2 collection panels are wood and cannot handle the heat of the mirrors. The floor is plywood an is not affected. Without the mirrors the maximum temp achieved is 201 F.

Raising 75 cu ft is a task. This oven gains about 3 F every minute up to 150 F when exposed to sunlight with no mirrors. After that it increases 1F every minute. Woods ignition temperature is higher than what we will be needing so the frame works well and is an excellent insulator.

This is a video of the Passive Solar Heating System in use at http://www.envirosponsible.com in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.

It provides a great deal of heat, and the installer, Chris, will be making it more effecient by adding a second computer fan to push the warm air at the top, painting the inside better and taping the duct work. Also, the duct work will be directed into the office where the door can be closed and used in a smaller air mass.

This kind of heater is ideal for urban survival and bugging in, since it requires no power input and is cheap and easy to make. It’s not just for strawbale, cob, cabins, cottages, earth ships or businesses. They can be installed on a home, and they look great when done right. Ragnar Benson would be proud.
