Attention New Yorkers,
(and/or, please send this to anyone you know who is a New Yorker):
Here is a quick entry about a petition to get our Assembly/Senate off its duff and pass some job creating (and at NO COST to the essentially empty NY State treasury!!!) and super environmental friendly legislation:

If you can, please sign it. And tell others about it.
Feed-In Laws work better than any other system yet devised to install renewable energy in mass quantities and at lower real cost than with subsidy and quota systems. Yet their main purpose is the creation of high value added manufacturing (and related spin-off) jobs. All at zero cost to tax payers - no need to bribe the excessively rich to invest in what they should be investing in, anyway. The non-polluting electricity made as a result of them is just a nice by-product of this system, which is how Germany, Denmark and Spain (to name a few) have moved to the top of the list in terms of job creation via renewable energy system manufacture, R&D and installation.
Good for the world, good for the pocketbook, a good way to lower our dreadful unemployment rate and a way to make a better world. For those curious, here is the actual legislation via these links:
NY Assembly A187 http://assembly.state.ny.us/le...
NY Senate S2175 http://open.nysenate.gov/openl...
I'm not a dis-interested party here - I guess I am partly responsible for getting this initially introduced into the Legislature (a bit of an accident, but if that's what it takes... and there is some powerful logic to Feed-in Laws, which prevailed). But I've had a lot of help in this. And we will most definitely need more help to get this one over the finish line.
