What is a Net Zero Energy City ?

You’ve heard  that Santa Monica’s Goals to to become a Net Zero Energy City - but what doe that mean?

“Integrating the installation of energy efficiency, solar, and clean distributed generation throughout Santa Monica over the next 15-20 years can result in the onsite generation of enough power to meet the net annual electricity requirements of the city and may even allow the community to become a net exporter of electricity.  Thus, Santa Monica would become a “net zero” energy city.”  -

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE PROPOSAL TO TURN AROUND THE HOUSING MARKET

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE PROPOSAL TO TURN AROUND THE HOUSING MARKET
 

Which proposal is your favorite solution for the housing crunch? This article from the Associated Press offers several solutions from various members of our government: 

Vote for your favorite. I like… 

Office of Thrift Supervision: Allow about 8 million home owners who owe more than their homes are worth to refinance into government-backed loans, giving lenders the ability to share some of the gains if the home is eventually sold at a higher price.  And think Representative Barney Frank (4th Congressional District of Massachusetts) offers and interesting option. 5 Proposals to Turnaround the Market
 

The word bailout isn’t popular in Washington, D.C., these days, so the efforts by both political parties to clean up the housing mess are all skirting the issue.
 

“Anything that can be described as a bailout is going to be dead-on-arrival, so how these proposals are framed is critical to whether or not they even have a chance at enactment,” says Jaret Seiberg, a financial services policy analyst with Stanford Group. “It has to be framed as a short-term rescue for the housing market and the economy and not as a way to help individual lenders or investors.”
 

Here are the five most prominent plans for propping up, rescuing, freezing, and throwing a lifeline to the housing market:
 

1.      Rep. Barney Frank: Give the Federal Housing Administration $15 billion to buy up loans and refinance them at lower rates, and give state and local governments $10 billion in grants to buy up foreclosed properties.
 

2.      Sen. Christopher Dodd: Create a new Federal Homeownership Preservation Corp., funded with up to $20 billion, to purchase distressed loans and help struggling home owners to refinance.
 

3.      Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson: Encourage the banking industry to freeze interest rates for five years for some borrowers, and give some home owners a 30-day reprieve from foreclosures.
 

4.      Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other democrats: Let bankruptcy judges reduce the obligations of borrowers unable to pay their mortgages, and spend $4 billion to buy and fix up foreclosed homes.
5.      Office of Thrift Supervision: Allow about 8 million home owners who owe more than their homes are worth to refinance into government-backed loans, giving lenders the ability to share some of the gains if the home is eventually sold at a higher price.
