The world without energy? How can you help save energy?
Energy's Efficiency Without energy efficiency the world is not energy independent and it worsens our economy. If we rely on our fossil fuels and put out many pollutants, that affects our economy. The more we become energy independent the less jobs we ship overseas and the more income is being put into our economy.
Obama's Energy Views Obama's Clean Air Act toughens the restriction on pollutants. Act projected to save 2 trillion dollars by 2020. More jobs created-U.S economy more energy independent.
Romney's Energy views Loosen restrictions on pollutant filled companies. Get U.S from being so energy dependent by drilling deeper into oceans.
Solving The Issue Reform needed to save money for all. Higher standards should be set for required emission or non- emission of pollutants into the air. Many energy efficient vehicles, homes and business projects should be made affordable and attainable in a S.M.A.R.T manor.
Solving The Issue (continued) Creating clean affordable, and compliant resources for all. Decreasing the dependency U.S consumers have for foreign oils. Needs to increase domestic supply to create more jobs and money output into the economy.
Quiz Time!! How many people in New York die from pollution in our air?
Check This Out "6 percent of annual deaths in New York City are attributable to poor air quality from pollutants."
British Columbia Plan The B.C action plan presents 28.5 Million to fund the enhancement of clean air and help British Columbians health. The plan is over a 3 year time span, it's focus is on clean transportation, clean industry, and clean communities. The new criteria, includes 24-hour annual air quality objectives. It was proven to be effective and work efficiently in 2010.
My Plan I plan on changing what happens in New York and many other places in the U.S. My plan is based on a plan put into action by British Columbians. However doing so I plan on limiting the emission of the pollutants from companies and factories by 50%. Furthermore in the long run we will have a more energy independent society. Also by saving the U.S consumers money and preserving our world.
Collaboration With Mr. Flaig/Warmack Allow drilling as an open market for companies. Use alternative resources (Nuclear energy, Geothermal energy) Give tax incentives those follow green policy. Use the production of Green jobs to help stimulate the economy.
Collaboration with Lea Olverson National Geographic " There are many individuals out doing field work based on energy and the crisis going on. The people based in many poorer countries are experimenting on ways to counter produce cleaner air".
Cost Details Companies participating in this Fundamental Expectation plan will receive Carbon Credits. This gives a tax incentive for every year foul pollutants are not put into our air. Property owners will also be presented a tax incentive for every green item on their properties to counterbalance the expenses of green materials. How will you pay for this?
Less Cost = More Energy Counter Argument Companies ask how am I benefiting from this plan? It will be more of an expense adding more green materials and products into my company. The reliability of these "Green Machines" will be put into question. Within the plan companies will benefit greatly. I am giving an 38% tax incentive to both companies and property owners who abide by the emission requirements. The tax incentive increases each year by 4% based on reduction of pollutants used. The tax credit is based off the plan from the British Columbia plan and also a grant from Emission Reduction incentive grants.
Example Of Carbon Credits As the company installs a wind turbine, to generate energy to fuel the power of the companies electrical grid. Wind turbines range from 35,000 to 1.2 million, in which is very costly. I plan on selling turbines for half of that price along with giving a tax incentive for the company that increases at a fixed rate.Although it will be costly at the time of purchase the turbine will pay itself off in 3 years.
