Now
that Bernie Sanders has been called out at home-plate at the bottom of the 9th
by an umpire in bed with the Clinton's, I am casting my vote for the
"Green Party", namely Jill Stein. And "but for" a signal
reason all salt-of-the-earth middle-class bread winners should find a similar
conviction. If you are raising a family, take note. Yes, a conviction to vote
in an individual that is in it for US. Jill has set a mandate that as the 45th
President, by the year 2030 the United States be 100% "Green Energy".
California is well on its way to reaching this goal, as are other states taking
note and investing an interest as it is paying off big time. Why so? Because of
a single fact, it creates thousands of jobs and with a depressed oil price
still bothering Tony the Tiger, many seasoned workers of all trades are now transitioning
to "SOLAR". I witnessed this migration in southern California wherein
oil rough-necks from the Bakersfield jumped ship, in Texas also this mutiny
away from the "Black Gold" -
wherein once upon a time any talk of "Solar" in the "Lone
Star" was in line to the distrust the subject of Jade Helm! Due the amount of work, the
solar industry is having a tough time finding
workers, and the projects keep coming and are getting bigger and bigger. A year
ago, the common size for a solar site was 20000000 watts - enough electricity
to energize 13000 middle-class homes. Today, we are talking a 4-fold increase,
upwards 100000000 watts to power 50-thousand neighborhood homes, generated by
the sun! There are hundreds of projects on the drawing boards, in the
permitting stages, already providing equal opportunity employment. From truck
drivers, to welders, electricians, weather men - you name it as this
infrastructure takes a lot of it all. This infrastructure is intense, unlike conventional
fossil fueled power plants, the foot-print is much larger, which means it takes
extensive amounts of equipment to extract energy from the sun. From ground
work, to mechanical considerations, to electrical hook-ups and then some. It
creates jobs in all the disciplines. And because it is generally build at
remote locations in efforts to support the grid, it provides work where work
has been missing for a long, long time. And because of such interest, the technologies
are advancing overnight, invigorating the "Mother of Invention" like
we have not seen since the space race necessity. Yes, from the younger hi-tech
gurus to "Grumpy Old Men" like electricians, a new work frontier has
emerged. Look, manufacturing will never come back to this nation wherein it
benefits the employment ranks, as we cannot compete labor cost wise with other
cheap-skate nations, and things are moving towards "robotics" anyway.
So even if we did have an opportunity or willingness to bring back the
production lines, it doesn't create jobs. So what the presidential hopefuls on
the "Left" & "Right" are telling you, it ain't going to
happen with respect to manufacturing jobs. So, based on the fact that Jill has targeted
the "Green Energy" here in the homeland as a goal, this will create
jobs for so many that it will then invite new modes of transportation, new industries
and promote sustainable growth right here in the Homeland - the reason after
12-years the only thing the bipartisan Congress would agree on is extending the
"Sunshine" tax credit, as the momentum behind a self-sustaining
infrastructure, which is here to stay. Yes, Congress has seen the benefit in
"Solar", as it creates jobs, which makes people happy and they keep
that cushion office! Maybe this movement is finally taking hold, in comes the
new and out goes the "Greed Energy". Time to vote "GREEN",
if you care about your sons and daughters "FUTURE".
