Renewble energy groups urge Capitol Hill to preserve loan support

Renewable energy trade groups are urging House and Senate leaders from both parties not to cut loan guarantees for their sector in talks over funding the government for the rest of the fiscal year.

�e urge Congress to preserve investments in critical renewable energy programs, including full funding for the Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program, as it works to fund the government for the remainder of FY2011,� states a letter Monday from groups representing wind developers, ethanol producers and others.

3. It fits the bill.

Goes along with my theory about the relationship between Peak Everything and what the Republicans are doing to manage our descent into a collapse while they, and their wealthy benefactors make a grab for everything they can. As long as they can maintain access to resources, energy and food, it's not a problem for them.

It's just as much about who will survive the resource shortages now, as it is abou the money and power that exploiting and screwing vast numbers of people.

We have a long emergency and a managed descent ahead.
