We have Smart phones, Smart notebooks, Smart cars, and now; Smart Growth, Smart Grid and Smart Metering are next to become mainstream. Why are we getting so…. Smarted these days? Well, its the “wave of the future” you better jump on board before you become obsolete and… Stupid?
My last post was on the “Complete Streets” Bill which Gov. Schumlin just signed (also known as Smart Mobility). I still want to know more about the initiative, especially from first hand experience of its implementation in other states.
In this post I am looking at the “Smart Grid”. ...
From: Business Insider- Protesters aren't associated with any political party in particular and, instead, the movement is serving as a catch all for those upset over the current economic situation in Spain. The country has a 21% unemployment rate and a 43% youth unemployment rate. Its inflation rate is above the eurozone average and its growth remains low.
From the outside looking in, it resembles the situation in Egypt in many ways. Disaffected youth, enraged by a high unemployment rate, ...
In 1987 Vermont passed Act 248 a law to deal with people slipping through cracks i.e. the developmentally disabled. The act places the “incompetent person” into the “Care and Custody” of the Commissioner of The Department of Aging and Disability (DAIL), who then places the “incompetent person” into a designated Agency for “human services”. The Agency is now able to access upward of $100,000 (of State Funds), yearly for EACH “client”! According to a 2010 report by D.A.I.L. Vermont has 200 “risk to public safety” clients. (emphasis added)
In an attempt to bring public awareness to...

Why the big push to maintain our aging hot-fusion nuclear power plants? Could it be that cold fusion has finally been established as an energy source, getting millions in private funding, and the "hot" investors are trying to protect their assets? "Unknown" news and links

Over time, through my interest in Sustainability, I have been exposed to models and philosophies claiming they know what it means and how to achieve it. Most of the true models of sustainability have been systematically wiped-out; the Nomad, Gipsy, Native, Indigenous, Aboriginal and Tribal people.
This is a call to bring great minds together to creating an innovative project (please e-mail and share this with any one you think would be interested). From this discussion I hope a council will form to create this project. The Goal: To increase Vermont’s local sustainability; creating jobs, access to farms land, educational opportunities for the next generation of Vermont farmers, as well as bringing a new ecological resiliency to Vermont's working landscapes.
Some Ideas: The purposed project could function as a community land trust. It could be seen as a; voluntarily redistribution of land to aspiring farmers in pursuit of a sustainable Vermont. The Trust would acquire land...
