Our federal and state governments are doing nothing about global warming. Some cities are taking action and Minneapolis could show the world what can b done. We must maximize efficiency, conservation and renewable energy development. This will reduce taxes as well. We can put a beautiful array of photovoltaic modules on the ugly south facing sound barriers of I-94. It could generate thousands of kilowatts of electricity for the city government buildings
using the clean, safe, inexhaustible energy of the sun. It would slow the flow of millions of dollars out of our city and state that we spend for fossil and nuclear fuels. Building renewable energy technology would create thousands of jobs and millions across the country. Best of all there are funds from the state and federal government that could finance most or all of it. Solar panels last for 40 years or more. There are dozens of other eco-tactics we must use. Go to my web site to see more and hope and pray that the warming of our planet is not too much of a geometric progression. _www.DonJohnsonMayor.org_ (_http://www.DonJohnsonMayor.org_ (http://www.donjohnsonmayor.org/) ) Sincerely, Don Johnson _SolarHardware.com_ (http://solarhardware.com/) 3808 Grand Ave So.
