My Fellow Americans,
Today our nation finds itself at a
crossroads. One path leads to energy security and new economic
prosperity and the other leads to a continued degredation of our economy
and our energy security.
The facts that cannot be refuted
is that today our nation uses far less foriegn oil than it did four
years ago and that there are more people employed in the Wind industry
than in the US Steel industry. More renewable energy has been installed
in America in the last 4 years than in the last 12 years.
I
have dedicated almost every moment of my life over the last six years
to assist green technology companies in becoming successful. I have
spent on average 150 days each year traveling to 47 of our great 50
states. I have met with small town mayors, congressional leaders and
International leaders promoting green technology.
I have seen
technologies here in America that with the right support could literally
change the World. Brilliant ideas that if just backed by our Federal
government would put millions of Americans back to work.
Why was America so successful over the last 60 plus years?
Because
we built things. Because America realized that we could manufacture
anything! During World War 2 we made a war machine that freed the World
from oppression in 44 months. Yet we haven't had a viable energy policy
in over 40 years!
Returning American soldiers from World War 2
came home to jobs. Jobs in manufacturing. Jobs in building new homes and
businesses. We built an economic superpower by our ability to make
things that the World wanted.
As soon as we stopped building. The
American economy collapsed. We sent our manufacturing jobs to China and
our service based jobs to India. All we were left with was pushing
empty paper on Wall St. and we are reaping the economy that we sowed.
Green
technologies and renewable energy have the ability of recapturing
American manufacturing prowess while restoring our economy at the same
time. The old manufacturing industries are gone and they are not coming
back. We need a new industry that can help America recapture its
prosperity again. There is only one industry on the radar that can save
America and the World economies. That industry is Green technology.
The
future infrastructure jobs created here in America should not be
building bridges, tunnels and roads to nowhere. It just won't work. We
need to digitize the US Power Grid. We need to treat energy as a
National Security issue. We need to build renewable energy projects all
across America.
We need to use the aftermath of Super
Storm Sandy to rebuild the Eastern United States power grid. Only 16% of
our nations energy structure is under ground. If the entire power grid
in New York and New Jersey were a Smart Grid than 8 million Americans
would not have been without power for more than a week. People would not
have loss of life or property from downed power lines.
We
need to make every home, business and building in our Nation as energy
efficient and weatherized as possible. That will save Americans and
American businesses money every day. We need to take back the subsidies
for big oil, nuclear and ethanol and get our troops home and do some
nation building here.
President Obama, Mr. Romney, I say
this to you and every politician that thinks they have a chance to get
elected on this day, if you don't show Americans how you are really
going to get them back to work so they can stop losing their homes, put
food on the table and gas in the tank, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE OF
GETTING ELECTED!
This election will come down to Jobs and Energy...
The plan is simple.....No jobs...No White House... The shoe fits for both sides of the isle and the Tea party.
Please get out and vote today...The future of our nation as an economic superpower depends on it..
Sincerely, Ralph Avallone President National Green Energy Council 1701 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Suite 300 Washington, D.C. 20006 (202)-349-7138 |
