Agree, fwiw, stewardship of the earth was a key theological insight of John Calvin (1509 - 1564).

It’s none of my business, but I’m a firm believer that the “worker deservers their wage.” With endorsements from Pelosi and Gore, (glad you have those prominently displayed on your website, excellent marketing) you may have significant traction with foundations who might consider supporting parts of your work.

OT, CNBC, NBC’s business channel, is always looking for guests during their programming. Usually they want people on who think Herbert Hoover was a liberal. Because you’re talking about jobs, however, your publisher, might get some traction in getting you an interview. Perhaps this will lead to other ideas that are better, more realistic???

This green thing needs to also come from the building department and code people. IN NYC you cannot use all thatr roof real estate for solar collector! How crazy is that?
