cpl advertising seen as racist by some

The cpl advertisment where they are hiring bilingural only is seen by racist by some. The reality is the advertisment may be worse than that considering the number of hispanic that speak only english and only spanish. More items about electric, alot has been said about federal subsidies for wind-power but no one says much about utilities having no choice but to pay full price and not generation cost for excess from homes. The danger to overproducing is that that could change. It has been seen as something that people with more money do to get more reliability. Starting a home from scratch?? I am not sure that you can do that well with solar if cost is the only consideration and then you have to compete with the value of having a tree shade the house. One of the disigns that come to mind is a detached garage with a covered patio from the house to the garage. trees over the house solor over the garage and then a couple of 2 grand windmills with the towers built into the house. that may take some doing but makes the interest tax-deductable and realy where else can you index to electric prices and get the increase tax-free.
I am getting harrased everytime I get something from providian or walgreens through the postal system. I don't know if any postal worker has been murdered by the people involved but it is getting annoying. I have to make several hundred a month. The threats seem odd. ebay-providian has fixed rate for perm duration offers with rising rates that is a done deal..
I was watching Loyd Neal and he is saying that it isn't him leading it is us the public saying it is the public telling us what to do. People may not like my idea about a public company that raises money for windpower and manages the cities non-profit recycling effort but lets be honest. Why pay to get jobs (not that that is a bad thing) and then not raise money for the jobs we need to have done. Even with a gas company taking the area in the gulf for wind towers there are still a very large number of poles that could have taxable towers on them. (including alot of signs why build poles when they are all over the place dual use). Toyota also gives grants for sustainable cities projects. Non-profit for recycling and even a check of box for the water bill where donations to be given to various projects including trash pickup along our streets shouldn't be out of the question. It is up to us to say please mr noe we don't want to starve can we have these jobs.. The method not being as important as the function (non-profit... profit exc).


As a note looking for (I beleive from memory) texas + corpus christi + (this is where I am unsure it is microgenerator or windmill) gets you the details on the states sustainable energy policy if you overproduce you probily want the most expensive electric company you can find.. I have to disclose that I am a shareholder of cpl and that most likely they have a gas contract with the city. I don't have any details on a (what have you done for me lately) aspect on other companies I may revise if I get info from my sources
