Comment on Obama’s Energy Plan: Do emerging technologies and a green economy mix? by Jim Dey

Good to have a green story where the voice of business is also heard. Not all business people are evil, and it will likely be an innovative for-profit team that will take an idea and run with it to transform our energy path — even if the idea comes from overseas or a gummit or university lab somewhere.

Also nice to read a story that balances the starry-eyed joy of a sea-change in our politics with the grounding realization that we still have the best government that money can buy, for the most part, and made of folks with agendas that are not always for the common good.

Overall, nicely balanced and smooth. Thanks, Mae Lee.

Well said Mae Lee. One of my Vistage members has an alternative energy company focused on solar roof tileswith financing built in. We do not need to rely on the government for all solutions. I drive a hybrid so all we need is 999,999 more. Thanks for the detailed analysis.

By subscribing you are adding this website to what is called an RSS feed. RSS has many definitions, but the most common is “Really Simple Syndicate”. You can read more about that here.

In essence, RSS allows you to subscribe to a website and view website stories, articles or “posts” throughout the web, without going directly to the website. Many use this to review a large number of websites in summary, and then click on a particular article to read at the specific website.

It works like this. In a blog or a news type website, each article is a “post”. Each post has a specific title, content and date. When you subscribe to the website RSS or feed, you use a software application that uses this RSS feed to go to each website you have subscribed to and it then “feeds” the articles or posts, to the RSS reader or even to your email application, such as Outlook.

You can find many RSS readers on the web, and some popular readers are NetNewsWire for Mac, and Sharpreader for Windows. Google has a feedreader as well.

So why use a feedreader and not just go to each site? Well, say you often read multiple websites each day. You like reading the NY Times, The Onion, Obama’s website and, of course, the Sun Spot. So, you download a feedreader, click on the “Subscribe to RSS” on each website, and then the reader will show you the latest articles on each website, right in one window.

Hope this is helpful…Timo

The web is filled with volumes of static. This has a nice vibe that welcomes insight and thoughtfulness.
