German Solar Power on the big scale.

In June 2008 the German government announced that it would be lowering the current subsidies that it provides for individuals and companies that purchase and install solar power. Their environmental ministry is proposing a cut of 9.1% next year, while other lawmakers say the rate should be closer to 30%. This cut, while lower than the expected latter figure, was welcomed with a sigh of relief, but is still a cut, leading many to speculate troubles for the solar industry ahead, but I look upon it from a different angle.

Germany is the world leader in solar power, with $8.8 billion in sales and the biggest buyer of panels in the world. It wasn’t always that way, and about 10 years ago the government started their subsidies, both in the form of direct rebates and guaranteed prices per kilowatt-hour produced (up to a staggering $0.74 per KW/h). Such incentives encouraged many to start producing their own power, and there are now over 1.5 million solar systems running in the country. The industry is set to expand by 20% annually over the next decade and add another 70,000 jobs to the already 40,000 employed in the industry.

While the news surrounding the subsidy changes have sent stocks see-sawing, they haven’t created large shifts and in many cases have increased share market values. The drop in subsidies, in my mind, is a clear indicator that the industry is now at a point where their success is guaranteed and no longer needs the help of the government to be profitable. This is evinced by the fact that following the announcements of cuts, Bosch said it will be investing over 500 million € for a controlling share of Ersol, a major solar manufacturer, and might even put in nearly double that for full control. Clearly an industry in crisis would not even contemplate such a move.

This is a very wonderful
rehabilitation story.

THE MAN AND THE EAGLE:
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!
Interesting story --- soul mates with an EAGLE !!!!!
Not many people get a picture of this proud bird snuggled up next to them.

Freedom and Jeff
Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places . She's my baby.
When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vets office. From then on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay in. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also had to tube feed her for weeks.
This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't want to cross that line between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning. She was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that Thursday, because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized; but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day.
We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train her. I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started doing education programs for schools in western Washington . We wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV . Miracle Pets even did a show about us.
In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. I had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair - the whole bit. I missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time again.
Fast forward to November 2000, the day after Thanksgiving, I went in for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer was gone.
So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn't said a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long.
That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in.
This is a very special bird.
On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power coarse through his body. I have so many stories like that.
I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a magnificent spirit as Freedom's.

Please pass this one along to your family and friends.

This photo was taken at the scene of a house fire that occurred 2/3/2008

I've never heard this info before...
Received from a friend who is in the property insurance business. It is well worth reading.

This is one of those e-mails that if you don't send it, rest assured someone on your list will suffer for not reading it. The original message was written by a lady whose brother and wife learned a hard lesson this past week.

Their house burnt down.. nothing left but ashes. They have good insurance so the house will be replaced and most of the contents. That is the good news.

However, they were sick when they found out the cause of the fire. The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours. He had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He asked her sist er-in-law what she had plugged inthe bathroom. She listed the normal things....curling iron, blow dryer.
He kept saying to her, 'No, this would be s omething that would disintegrate at high temperatures'. Then her sister-in-lawremembered she had a Glade Plug-In, in the bathroom.

The investigator had one of those 'Aha' moments.. He said that was the cause of the fire.
He said he has seen more house fires started with the plug-in type room fresheners than anything else.
He said the plastic they are made from is THIN.
He also said that in every case t here was nothing left to prove that it even existed.
When the investigator looked in the wall plug, the two prongs left from the plug-in were still in there.

Her sister-in-law had one of the plug-ins that had a small night light built in it.
She said she had noticed that the light would dim and then finally go out.
She would walk in to the bathroom a few hours later, and the light would be back on again.
The investigator said that the unit was getting too hot, and would dim and go out rather than just blow the light bulb. Once it cooled down it would come back on.
That is a warning sign.

The investigator said he personally wouldn't have any type of plug in fragrance device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many places that have been burned down due to them.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL THEPEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.
