SCHUMER URGES PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION TO RAISE LIMIT ON SOLAR ENERGY CREDIT SYSTEM FOR HOMES AND BUSINESSES

SCHUMER URGES PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION TO RAISE LIMIT ON SOLAR ENERGY CREDIT SYSTEM FOR HOMES AND BUSINESSES: "Last week, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported that Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (CHG&E), a utility provider in the Hudson Valley, reached their total allowable limit set by the Public Service Commission for the amount of solar energy that can be generated by homeowners and businesses and pumped back into the grid for credits. Therefore, CHG&E recently suspended the net metering benefit for all of its future solar customers, a major disincentive for new businesses and homeowners to install solar panels in the Hudson Valley. As a result of pressure from Schumer and the local solar industry, CHG&E announced today that they would begin processing net metering applications temporarily until the PSC issues its ruling. However, Schumer said that the PSC needs to make a permanent fix to the net metering limits to ensure consumer confidence that solar panels, which can be time-consuming to install and connect to the grid, will not be cut off from net-metering benefits."

Learn how solar energy works and save money also- Hudson Solar

Learn how solar energy works and save money also- Hudson Solar: "What is Net Metering?

Solar electric generation and purchases from the electric utility are “netted out” automatically. This can slow down the utility’s meter or even spin it backwards if the solar system is producing more electricity than is being consumed. Your excess electricity is then sold back to the utility at the retail rate, per agreement with the utility company.

Most State utilities will permit most customers with fewer than 25 kilowatts of PV to net meter."

Will The Occupy Wall Street Movement Continue?

Will The Occupy Wall Street Movement Continue?: "While many find it difficult to unequivocally state that this group (movement) is wrong, the surprising thing I have found that many people simply say, this group is not entirely wrong.

What this means is that the rank and file people of the US have woken up and realized that government process is substantially run by the economic interest that stand to gain or lose the most by what the government does.

The thing that has precipitated this is when the government did the unthinkable which was to bail out businesses, banks, and other large corporate concerns. The government has essentially become a vassal of big business. In other words the US government is sort of like a publicly held "not for profit corporation" which is run by a board of directors (it share holders) the one's with the most money hold the largest shares and effectively buy their influence."

Ten common mistakes by photographers using WordPress

Ten common mistakes by photographers using WordPress: "Image filenames are an important factor in optimizing for search engines. Below are a few examples of non-optimized filenames:

DSC000234481.jpg
picture1.jpg
20110301-tda-0023.jpg
The filenames above might work well when archiving photos in your image software program, but they are useless on the web.  Including descriptive keywords in filenames on the web will give search engine spiders a clue about the picture.  For example, here are a few optimized image filenames:

Destroying Precious Land to Drill for Gas - NYTimes.com

Destroying Precious Land to Drill for Gas - NYTimes.com: "Natural gas has been sold as clean energy. But when the gas comes from fracturing bedrock with about five million gallons of toxic water per well, the word “clean” takes on a disturbingly Orwellian tone. Don’t be fooled. Fracking for shale gas is in truth dirty energy. It inevitably leaks toxic chemicals into the air and water. Industry studies show that 5 percent of wells can leak immediately, and 60 percent over 30 years. "

Destroying Precious Land to Drill for Gas - NYTimes.com: "Some gas companies at the meeting were trying very hard to sell us on a plan to tear through our wilderness and make room for a new pipeline: infrastructure for hydraulic fracturing. Most of the residents at the meeting, many of them organic farmers, were openly defiant. The gas companies didn’t seem to care. They gave us the feeling that whether we liked it or not, they were going to fracture our little town."
