Greeting Mayor Oliveres, And Coincilwoman, Susan Gorin,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Va5UA5LwUAllow me to introduce myself, Efren Carillo is a mutual friend,
we are both UC alumni,
but
first here is some pertinent senate/house legislative matters occurirng
in US Congress, and @ the White House you should be aware of.
Hearken to this reality, If the government defaults on the national debt
on August 2nd, 2011, not only would congress be violating article 4 of
14th amendment, but they would also be violating a 1917 WWI wartime, era
law, The Liberty Bond Act 1, and Liberty Bond Act 2, 1939, that
mandates debt ceiling increases / deficit spending during wartime,
i.e.,Afghanistan. Troops are scheduled to be withdrawn from Iraq, by the
end of year 2011.
Thus under Article 2 section 1 of the USA Constitution, The president
has the authority to issue an executive order to raise the debt ceiling,
to fund afghan war, and government bond obligations to bond holders,
and social security beneficiaries, since the treasury has vested the 2.6
trillion dollar social security fund, with IOU's.This effectivelly
overrides Article 1, section 8, since the tea party/David Koch,
Transnational offshore tax havens, and old economy oil, has compromised
the national security of the US.

Article 4 of the 14th Amendment is abundantly clear. Congress has
no power to void the public debt or its obligations to bondholders and
social security beneficiaries. If the debt limit is not raised by August
2nd this scenario will happen, meaning congress will be in direct
violation of article 4. Dispossessing Senior citizens, the mentally ill,
and disabled veterans, in the name of more tax cuts for the top 2% of
income earners, is inherently undemocratic, and unconstitutional.

article also has statutory case law precedent in Perry vs USA, 1935 In
Perry v. United States (1935), the Supreme Court ruled that under
Section 4 voiding a United States government bond "went beyond the
congressional power"
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=case&court=us&vol=294&invol=330#354
"We conclude that the Joint Resolution of June 5, 1933, in so far
as it attempted to override the obligation created by the bond in suit,
went beyond the congressional power. "
At worse this
scenario envisions a showdown between the executive branch and the
Judicial branch. However, you should no that the Supreme Court has
consistently ruled in favor of executive power.

Have your guys check out this site: They offer 0 downpayment, rent to
own, and PG&E will offer up to 3 million dollar rebate, for
installation. All city buildings should be powered by solar. They

"For
Immediate Release: January 4, 2011Sonoma County Dedicates New Ultra
Clean Energy Plant Summary Sonoma County Fuel Cell Ribbon Cutting on 1.4
Megawatt Project is cost savings addition to County’s climate
protection project portfolio.Santa Rosa, CA (January 4, 2011) - On
January 11, 2011, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, Pacific Gas
and Electric and Aircon Energy will celebrate the County’s crowning
achievement in its climate protection efforts with the commencement of
the new 1.4 megawatt fuel cell. "
"At 1:00 PM on January 11th, 2011, PG&E will present a check for
$3,000,000 to the Board of Supervisors, from its Self Generation
Incentive Program (SGIP). PG&E’s SGIP provides financial incentives
for the installation of new, qualifying wind or fuel cell self-
generation equipment. The incentive payment will offset $9,763,781 of
fuel cell equipment and installation costs so that the fuel cell power
plant will pay for itself in less than eight years.
" "The fuel cell is the centerpiece of
Sonoma County’s Comprehensive
Energy Project (CEP), which also includes a wide variety of efficiency
measures and upgrades to facilities and mechanical systems. Overall
the CEP will reduce and replace 13.4 million kWh from the PG&E grid
and reduce water consumption by 19 million gallons each year. The CEP
is expected to reduce the County’s green house gas (GHG) emissions by
6,000 tons annually. During the first 16 years, the annual energy cost
savings will more than pay for the entire cost of the CEP project. As
previously stated over its lifetime, the CEP project is expected to
save the county between $40 and $50 million, of which approximately
$20 million in energy cost savings can be attributed to the use of the
fuel cell technology.

http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2011/07/desalination.Summary: The Economist magazine reports that, The island nation city state of Singapore is partnering with Seimens, a german company to develop desalination plants. Desalinization, is the process of converting salt water, into drinkable fresh water. Seimens has found a way to lower the costs by 50% from conventional desalinization plants,
The method Seimens uses, is called electrodialysis.
excerpts:
"
One answer is to desalinate seawater. That, though, is expensive, so the
Singaporean government is keen to find cheaper ways of doing it. And,
in collaboration with Siemens, a German engineering conglomerate, it may
have done so, for Siemens says its demonstration electrochemical
desalination plant on the island can transform seawater into drinking
water using less than half the energy required by the most efficient
previous method."
"To make seawater fit for human consumption its salt content of
approximately 3.5% must be cut to 0.5% or less. Existing desalination
plants do this in one of two ways. Some employ distillation, which needs
about 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per cubic metre of seawater
processed. The energy is used to heat the brine, partially evaporating
it, and to condense the resulting water vapour. Other plants employ
reverse osmosis. This uses special membranes which act as molecular
sieves by passing water molecules while holding back the ions, such as
sodium and chloride, that make water salty. Generating the pressure
needed to do this sieving consumes about 4kWh per cubic metre of water.
The Siemens system, by contrast, consumes only 1.8kWh per cubic metre,
and the firm hopes to get that down to 1.5kWh.""
It works using a process called electrodialysis, in which the
seawater is pumped into a series of channels walled by membranes that
have slightly different properties from those used in reverse osmosis.
Instead of passing water molecules, these membranes pass ions. Moreover,
the membranes employed in electrodialysis are of two types. One passes
positively charged ions. The other passes negatively charged ones. The
two types alternate, so that each channel has one wall of each type. Two
electrodes flanking the system of channels then create a voltage that
pulls positively charged ions such as sodium in one direction and
negatively charged ions such as chloride in the other.
The result
is that the ions concentrate in half of the channels, creating a strong
brine, while fresher water accumulates in the other half. As the brine
emerges, it is thrown away. The fresher water, though, is put through
the same process twice more and eventually has its salt concentration
reduced to 1%.
That is not bad, but is still double what is
potable. There is therefore one further step in the process. This is to
employ an ion-exchange resin in addition to the membranes. Such resins
increase the electrical conductivity of the system and allow one more
passage to bring the salt concentration down below 0.5%, which makes the
water potable.
