Proof Positive Clean Energy Solar PV Works

It is a 7 kWh system consisting of 32 panels and two inverters, On a very good day we will produce 52 kWh. Average is 42 kWh. We normally produce more electricity then we can use.

"This is directly copied from a fellow Google Plus Friend" I'm sharing it with my readers of the blog to show that it is possible to have great things that are run by solar power."

Last year we added a Nissan Leaf and now drive around town for FREE.  Saving over $3000 in gasoline a year. And no longer subservient to middle east oil prices.

One of the biggest energy reduction was installing a variable speed pool pump. Reducing usage form 12,000 watts to 1,200 watts a day.

Addition reduction was changing to LED light bulbs through the house and garage.

Here's the Google Plus Conversation in full:

Great things are happening because of solar power and the clean energy it produces. Are you considering adding a solar system to your place? I can help and will provide the most cost effective system that is on the market today. Scotty

2013 Blog Action Day Success

Dear friends,

I’d like to thank you, on behalf of Amnesty International, for exercising one of your fundamental human rights  − freedom of expression −  on Blog Action Day 2013.

I was amazed by the sheer diversity and number of good blogs posted yesterday, by over 2,400 registered bloggers (and close to 2,000 unregistered bloggers and social media users) across 130 countries.

Together, you brought to light dark stories about human rights abuses. You also told many inspirational tales about international activism, solidarity and hope.

Being able to express our opinions online in this way is a powerful weapon in the struggle for universal human rights.

We were proud to be a key Blog Action Day 2013 partner, and to have shared this day with you. Our work to defend human rights continues on the other 364 days of the year.

Please join our movement of over 3 million supporters, members and activists by finding your local Amnesty office, or signing up as an international member. 

And please keep blogging. We need to keep pulling together to stop human rights abuses worldwide. Right now, we are pushing for a new law to protect people in Kenya’s slums from being kicked out of their homes. You can help by signing our petition now.

You can also continue to raise your voice online by signing up to the new Human Rights Blogging Network, Orbit, organised by the Blog Action Day team.

Thanks once again for being Blog Action Day.  We have posted some great blogs on this Storify, and plan to publish our three favourites soon on Amnesty’s global human rights blog, LIVEWIRE.

Salil Shetty

Secretary General, Amnesty International

Misleading Dirty Coal Commercials via Ameren UE

 Recent commercial by AmerenUE where they say they are out for the publics best interest is total bull ___. Ameren UE is poisoning the people with pollution and stopping Clean Energy Production Rebates-Coal Pollution Causes Cancer... 4th Dirtiest coal producing plant in the USA is spilling toxic pollution ... 

I don't watch as much broadcast tv since the family "Cut the Cable Line" we've been using Chrome Cast and our computers to watch TV via the Internet (chrome cast transmits the signal to the tv from the computer and I watch everything for FREE.).

Pollution from Dirty Coal=Cancer

Luckily many of the shows we watch don't have commercials!  But every now and then a commercial sneaks in and a recent one by AmerenUE where they say they are out for the publics best interest is total bull ___. 

1. The simple facts are: They Have the 4th Dirtiest coal producing plant in the USA that is spilling toxic pollution all around the immediate area and then into the stratosphere where it mixes with other pollution and is creating global warming and is affecting the people and the food we eat to survive. see Ameren's Labadie plant named a top greenhouse-gas emitter by EPA 
2. Simple Solution to eliminate Dirty Coal Smoke containing pollution is to create Clean Energy from non polluting fossil fuels.  But since this in direct conflict of Ameren UE's profits they would rather keep poisoning the people with pollution rather than allow additional clean energy to be produced.

I've know for awhile that Ameren UE is challenging Net Metering Payments. I learn via: Renew Missouri Article in the Post Dispatch -that they want to eliminate the Solar Rebate as it is costing the company money in profits of 36 million.

Typical Big Business and dirty tricks (dirty coal pollution has risen by 3-5%).  This little 36 million worth of pollution free energy has a hell of a lot more value and benefits than their dirty coal fired electricity.

Coal Pollution has been linked to CANCER (1).  I can think of 36 lives are worth more to me than company profits.  While they preach energy conservation and generating clean energy...don't let them fool you.  They are protecting their interests and want to burn dirty coal and poison the world.

(1) Toxic Air-The CaseforCleaning UpCoal-fired Power Plants See the PDF by the American Lung Association or

Power Plant Air Pollution Kills 13,000 People Per Year, Coal-Fired Are Most Hazardous: ALA (American Lung Association) Report

Simply put: 

All the people affected by

 Cancer in StLouis 

I feel is

in-directly linked to Ameren UE and how they burn Dirty Coal to make electricity.
