NYC Looking for Alternative Energy Sources

New York Mayor Bloomburg announced a plan to pursue alternative energy sources for NYC. The major thrust of this plan is to put wind turbines on the tops of buildings and bridges, and along the coastal shores or water of the Atlantic. The City has issued requests for proposals from interested companies and organizations to make this happen.The power grid servicing the NYC area has been overburdened and faulty over the years, with brownouts and blackouts happening more frequently as demand for electricity continues to increase.

New York experimented with wind power several years ago when it put a turbine on city-owned land at 34th Street and the East River, but found that technology at the time was not efficient enough to expand to other properties and it was abandoned.

Proposals can include plans to build wind-based, solar-based and water-based energy sources in New York and offshore as far as 25 miles into the Atlantic. this would be a great model for other major cities to follow. We will be following this closely to see if the results are worth adapting for this area in the future.

Online Savings for JCPenney

As much as I like to do a good amount of my shopping online, since a drive into town takes me away from the farm for too long for me to feel comfortable with, I do at times drive into town, mainly for groceries and gas needs. We do have a mall in town, pretty small in comparison to the big city ones that are multi leveled with scads of retail chains galore. I really am not a mall going person, I don’t like crowds, too many unruly and unchaperoned kids hanging about, looking for trouble and I try my best to stay away from going there as much as possible.

JCPenney has been an anchor department store there for as long as I can remember, my mother bought most of our school clothes from Penneys, and had a credit card with them that she was very proud of having and using. So I continue to purchase many things from JCPenney and am glad that they have JCPenney coupons available for their online shoppers, such as myself, it is all about saving precious dollars at this point, and shopping online saves time and money all the way around.

Cutting Back and Reducing Debts

Obama has two more days until the large plate of problems is handed over to him, and a large plate full it is. But he is hitting the ground running full speed ahead and shows no signs of slowing down for some time and we can only hope and pray that relief is on it’s way. Every day the news get worse, the phone calls are more depressing, emails are full of bad news and we are all feeling the effects of today’s economy troubles and concerns. I don’t know of a single soul that hasn’t been effected and we are all trying to cut back on energy and Reduce Debt in an effort to stay alive and not go under. Families are being able to help each other out in ways that they are used to doing, other than opening their doors and homes to relatives that have lost everything and have no where else to go, there isn’t any extra money around to lend to relatives in their time of need and charities are struggling to keep up with the demands that are coming up in leaps and bounds.

At Reducedebt.net you can turn to for debt relief, they help thousands of people each year get rid of their debts and are there to help right online at your fingertips.

Car Loans, Still Available with Bad Credit Issues

It is a very good thing that you can still apply online for and receive new and used car loans for people with bad credit, it appears that a good amount of people are receiving bad credit reports due to the economy and people losing their jobs and homes and not being able to keep up with all of their bills. We are now in a full blown depression folks and the news is full of talk about times getting tougher, before getting any better. Not good news to hear, I’m afraid, this has had the worst trickle down effect on each and every one of us in decades and people are getting very edgy and frightened, and for good reason.

Sometimes we all need to turn somewhere for financial assistance, friends and family are hard put to help each other out as they are generally accustomed to doing in the past. And with the need to start driving more energy efficient vehicles that are coming out more and more on the market and available at great prices right now and need for new car loans are getting greater and greater so online shopping for your loan needs only makes sense, all the way around.

Rising Gas Prices

I went to town earlier this morning and did some running of some errands and was glad to see that gas is still holding at $1.75, now I didn’t go up to the few stations that are right off of the Interstate and I know that one is an Exxon which is always the highest price of any station known. Nest time I need to be at that part of town I won’t be surprised to see if the have done the dirty deed of rising to the $2 mark for a gallon a gasoline or not.

Sister may be Relocating to the UK

Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England and one of my sisters and her husband have the opportunity to go there because it is known as “the workshop of the world” or the “city of a thousand trades” and her husband’s company is thinking of establishing them elves there in the near future. She and I both hope that she doesn’t end up having to relocate way over there, I mean it would be a great opportunity and all, but we would all miss her and the kids just so much!In the meantime while his company is busy finding the most affordable, but nice hotels in Birmingham, my sister is running frantic wondering what to do with the kids and all the things that entail going away for an adventure like this. She isn’t sure what the weather will be like and is thinking that this will call for a wardrobe over haul, that sounds like fun to me, she is in the position to do something drastic like that. Her hubby makes good money and he is eager to go over to the U.K. and get to know the kind of place that it is and meet the people that he is told are called “Brummies”, a term derived from the city’s nickname of Brum, he is eager to hear how they pronounce that term. He is told that there is a distinctive “Brummie” dialect and accent, both of which differ from those of the adjacent Black Country. The Black Country, sounds interesting enough!

Autonet in the U.K.

The automobile companies are really turning out some brilliant promotions in an effort to entice buyers in these troubled economic times. Each week I seem to catch wind of some type of amazing deal that these financially strapped ato companies are announcing, such as the one that I was just reading about regarding Toyota, Peugeot and Vauxhall and Honda promos and that now at an online dealer at Broadspeed.com is offering a buy one, get one free deal with their Kia Magentis models. An amazing offer to say the least.

I found this article while at Autonetinsurance.co.uk looking at insurance opportunities available over in the London, England area, just for grins and giggles. I’m sitting here waiting for the guys to show for my sump pump and leaking basement issue and have been mindlessly surfing the net, seeing what I can get into for a short time while waiting.

It is always interesting to see sites from other countries, and I always find myself learning something out of my efforts of peaking into other countries near and far. Sites from the U.K. are my favorite because I can understand the language, for the most part anyway, and maneuver around with ease such as at this site that offers all types of insurance. Home insurance, motorbike insurance, liability insurance, tool insurance, pet insurance and numerous other types that we are finding ourselves in need of these days in the 21st century.

Social Security Going Online

I have been reading how the Social Security Administration is desperately trying to keep up with the large number of baby boomers that are now hitting retirement age. They are expecting to deal with the eligibility of 80 million baby boomers and are now beginning to accept applications online for quicker and less expensive processing.

One article stated that it normally takes a person 45 minutes to apply in person, while the online version takes a much shorter time frame of on the average of just 15 minutes. I can certainly see why they are changing their processing options, time is money and Social Security needs all the money that they can get their hands on with so many folks that are going to be submitting for their retirement funds that they have worked so hard for, for all these years.
