Community: Citizen's Briefing Book

We desperately need a new Decentralized Energy Grid (DEG). If implemented intelligently, (Thomas Friedman’s Hot, Flat and Crowded) this grid would:

Make America safer from Terrorism and Cyber-Terrorism.
It would put millions of Americans back to work.
It would encourage local green energy generation that would share the profits between the utilities and the consumers.

Thank you,
Rob

Just think, this would put a lot of us back to work, also. This country is stuck in the past on this subject. We kept on adding but it does not change anything. People in the winter do not have electric power sometime and in the summer the grid has not been modify for more air condition, etc.
