More aid for German solar energy plant
The war for the biggest incentives for solar energy is on, later today was the California state, now it's Europe with even more help given to Germany, already one of the top world's solar energy producer.
European Commission OKs aid for German solar energy plant
The European Commission has authorized E76 million of aid, which the German government intends to grant to Conergy over three years to construct a new production plant for solar energy modules in Frankfurt (Oder).
The project, which will be spread over three years (from 2006 to 2008), is aimed at producing solar energy modules that make it possible, as the main part of an integrated solar energy system, to convert sunlight into electricity.
The project is expected to create around 1,000 new jobs in Frankfurt (Oder) which is a disadvantaged area eligible for regional aid and has an unemployment rate of 20.1%.

Mandatory Renewable Energy – The Energy Evolution
Our country the United States in order to insure our energy and economic independence, without being blackmailed by foreign countries and better economic growth. Our dependence on fossil fuels could lead to catastrophic consequences.
The Federal, State and local government should implement a mandatory Renewable Energy installation for residential and commercial property on new construction and remodeling, with the use of Energy Efficient material, mechanical systems, appliances, lighting etc.
The Source of Energy must be Renewable Energy, such as Solar-Photovoltaic, Geothermal, Wind, Biofuels etc.
The implementation could be done on a gradual scale over the next 10 years. At the end of the 10 year period all construction and energy use in the structures throughout the United States must be 100% powered by renewable energy.
In addition the governments must impose laws, rules and regulations, whereby the utility companies must comply with a fair “NET METERING” (the buying of excess generation from the consumer)
Promote the research and production of Renewable Energy Technology with various long term incentives and grants. Utilize various foundations to contribute to this cause.
Utilize Water from Lakes, Rivers and Oceans to circulate in cooling towers to produce Air Conditioning. Utilize proper landscaping to reduce energy consumption.
We should also include a mandatory time table for the automobile industry to gradually produce an automobile powered by renewable energy. The American automobile industry is surely capable of accomplishing this task.
This is a way to expedite our energy independence and economic growth.
It will take a maximum effort of the private, commercial, industrial and government sectors commitments to renewal energy, in order to achieve our energy independence.
