]]> Comment on Apollo Feedback: How ‘Bout These Ideas On Energy? by Frances Tibbits http://apolloalliance.org/feedback/apollo-feedback-hey-barack-john-how-%e2%80%98bout-these-ideas/#comment-805 Frances Tibbits Sat, 03 Jan 2009 06:37:45 +0000 http://test.apolloalliance.org/?p=37#comment-805 I'm very concerned about the remarks I heard Barack Obama make about clean coal. Recently on public television there was a program about the destruction being caused in the south by pit mining for coal. The pictures were appalling, showing astonishing massive denuding and destroying of ecosystems, including rivers and streams. I don't believe that if coal's cost to the environment were factored in that it could ever be considered clean. I’m very concerned about the remarks I heard Barack Obama make about clean coal.

I've been looking for a full time position but so far haven't got any luck. However, the main reason of not obtaining a job is that I only applied to companies where I believed were environmental conscious. Unfortunately most of the companies doesn't care too much about a green environment and pollution control and the harms that we are causing to our beautiful world. I haven't heard much about the Apollo Alliance but all my years as a student I always wished of a green job. And by that, I mean a job where I can feel that I'm applying my knowledge to improve a process or project related to chemical engineering for the benefit of our world. Apollo is a wonderful alliance and a wonderful opportunity for people like me who are interested in working in a real job. I believe that is time that we care about our world, and less about only making money at any cost . If this alliance can help me find the job of my dreams, I would appreciated greatly, and with a lot of enthusiasm, deal with environmental issues such as energy and waste treatment. I believe that we have to start now and with the help of President elect Barack Obama I have faith that we could improve the green energy and enhance new strategies that are more environmental friendly. Also I would like to now if there's a way I could go to the National Conference and learn more about it and look for jobs that are related to what I need. Thank you and Happy New Year!! Hello,

While there are constructions jobs galore as the turbines go up, long-term maintenance generally requires two technicians for every 10 to 20 turbines. They will be helpful.

I hope tis is merely an oversight. Why does the Press Release say there is $3M for CESC? Also the Bill has $1B for the E2 block grants, not $6B.
