California - 33% Renewable by 2020
"All retail sellers of electricity shall serve 33 percent of their load with renewable energy by 2020. State government agencies are hereby directed to take all appropriate actions to implement this target in all regulatory proceedings, including siting, permitting, and procurement for renewable energy power plants and transmission lines," the order said.
About half of the states in the country have renewable-energy mandates, which have pushed utilities to develop solar and wind projects, as well as to sign long-term contracts with companies that build and operate those types of power plants.
President-elect Barack Obama advocated for a national renewable energy mandate during his campaign.
Are you business minded? Investor? Can you see the bigger picture?
Now is the time to invest in Green Renewable Energy Projects!
CSP Plant:
A CSP Plant uses the sun to generate electricity cleanly and efficiently. A 50MW CSP Plant with Biomass will supply enough energy for approximately 60,000 homes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 200,000 tons per year.
The ROI for the investor is approximately five years, and is in the 10's of millions of $.

Ideal Bite

The philosophy behind Ideal Bite is simple: If we all knew what we
could do in the day to day to impact the planet and our communities in
a positive way, we’d do it. We know from countless studies, personal
experience, and common sense that negative environmental messages
aren’t very helpful. We don’t want someone to tell us what’s
wrong…unless we understand how we can help. As concerned as we are, few
of us are willing to change our lifestyle for a vague “greater good.”
We need more than that: a personal reason to make a change, and the
knowledge and inspiration to follow through.
But for most of us, there are not enough hours in the day as it is, never mind finding the time to learn which products are environmentally friendly and which aren’t, or what a label means when it says “organic,” “natural,” or “sustainable.” Ideal Bite is here to help, providing insight and inspiration, level-headed advice, and tried-and-true recommendations for people who aspire to align their everyday actions with their personal values.
Ideal Bite offers bite-sized ideas for light green living – ideas for real people who lead busy lives and want to make small changes that add up to big results. Our Daily Tips cover everything from biodynamic wine to eco-pet products to organic cosmetics. The secret sauce? A spoonful of “incremental environmentalism” combined with a keeping-it-real attitude.
The mission of Ideal Bite is to create a more sustainable world by connecting enlightened companies with responsible consumers who are ready to make small changes that add up. Ideal Bite is a sassier shade of green.
