Well understanding the Citizen before asking for energy change.
H.R. 3247 would establish a social and behavioral sciences research program
at the DOE to identify and understand factors that influence both energy
consumption and acceptance and adoption of new technologies.
H.R. 3247 was introduced by Energy and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Brian Baird (D-WA).

“Technology development and investment are only part of the solution to our energy problem,” said Baird. “The decisions each of us make every day have a significant impact on energy production and consumption. It is important that we understand why some technologies are more readily embraced than others. And it is important that we know how to communicate effectively about the nature of our energy challenges and know how to empower individual citizens to participate in overcoming them.”

More than 20 environmental and advocacy groups--including Oxfam America, 1Sky, the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth and Nature Conservancy--urged U.S. senators this week to dedicate billions of dollars in additional money to international adaptation and low-carbon technology efforts.
The groups sent a letter asking the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to initially dedicate 3% of future cap-and-trade allowances--estimated at about $2 billion per year--to assist developing nations in adapting to climate change. They also requested that 2%-- about $1.3 billion annually--be dedicated to research, development and deployment of energy technologies.

Credit crisis:BNP
BANKs continue to suck the wealth out of our currencies by microtrading against own clients ( Goldman sachs) speculating against currencies petrol etc. No production value created. Buying power of the population goes down.
French special:
Banks finance no material for production no stock for Entrepreneurs. Euros 25k already refused; What sort of junk capitlism is this. From what should the population live ? Alcatel - Lucent was ripped of it's production, genious; what should they sell now ?
Banks have to be regulated, no bonuses during credit crisis for speculation. In general they have to disappear from stock market quotation. It can not be that the junk speculator, the bank has a higher value than the production company.
The banks have to know no second bailout, but probably a final hangout coming along the street. Chase the Fatcats out of Town. Many hungry people out there need to make a living.

j'en profite pour rappeler comment un manager incompétent
a pu transformer un de nos fleurons technologiques nationaux
en société moribonde. Celui là même qui rêvait d'une
"entreprise sans usine". (Alcatel-Lucent)
Il aura bientôt raison lorsque Alcatel aura disparu.
Quelle honte ! En outre, il n'a pas oublié son parachute

eux paieront cash ses erreurs stratégiques. source:madox
