To retain their position as leaders in the clean energy race, Germany, a nation that produces more wind power than in any other European country, is planning an energy superhighway. The wind power corridor will run the length of the country from north to south, and will serve to connect Germany's growing wind energy supply with high energy demand regions.

States East Germany replaced furnaces, installed energy efficient windows and lights while producing thousands of well payed laboring jobs. There was 20% unemployment in 2005. By 2008, Germany had retrofitted and constructed anew more than 800,000 apartments. (Wolfgang Tiefensee, Germany's Minister of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs).
$$$ should come from the military budget and the trillions that has been stolen from us. Decrease the military bases overseas and bring that money home.
R-49 in the walls, R-54 in the ceilings. All the houses need to be re-done. These are the construction jobs available in the US now. We need to start up north this summer. All northern states. Amory Lovins advocates insulating with concrete. Given the storms facing us with climate change, that's a very good idea. No Bricks! One lady stated most of the deaths from an earlier tornado were from people getting hit by bricks.
Start producing solar panels, wind turbines and biofuels for internal use and exports. YES I SAID BIOFUELS, no GMO crops or existing farmland needs to be used for biofuels. See David Blume's book, he has it down sustainably.
"A certain percent of humanity will survive the coming collapse and it will be the local, sustainable green economy that will be the base of that survival."
