Arizona's Energy Future
Chatterjee for Congress in Arizona CD2: Chatterjee for the next generation
I have been thinking about Arizona and energy ever since the BP pipeline break in Alaska. Arizona's energy issues are the same as for the nation. I want to be in Congress to think America and my District first, all else comes next. There are no red and blue states, just individual good people, with some bad apples hanging in there.
Our energy policy is so short sighted that we think that being like the ant and the grasshopper is an energy plan. We store like the ant and release it when needed. Our administration thinks like elementary school children because, it appears, they were the children left behind. What should we do in Arizona?
AZ has 330 days of sunshine a year, no kidding, we are drenched with free energy like no other state in the union (even the so-called "Sunshine State" of FL). And what do we have as a solar energy policy, nada. If you drive around our state you will see that our energy companies have massive coal and oil fired plants. Yet, we could have 100% energy independent homes if we used solar power for electricity, water heating, etc. In ten years in AZ I have never seen a day when there is no sun the whole day. Even our worst day has ambient sunlight peeking through, enough to power solar panels.
We have almost five million people living in the greater Phoenix area (and growing like a weed) and if we switched to solar power with federal funding the payback would be rapid and we could go off oil as a power source in that segment. Then we could divert the saved oil to our cars and trucks. We shall never become energy independent with current rhetoric masquerading as policy; we will do so only using our engineering minds and rapidly implementing already proven current technologies. If we want to stick it to OPEC, we should stop buying their products, period. Watch them wither on the vine.
Our current congressman, Trent Franks, is 100% beholden to oil companies and reelecting him will get you none of these forward thinking solutions, and you can take that to his bank !!!! Vote Chat into Congress, the first true technologist to hold such a position, and watch real technical ideas be funded from Washington to solve real people's real problems. VOTE FOR ME.
