American Power Act forum will offer better understanding of potential opportunities from clean energy policy

Posted by Ginny Skalski

The following is a guest blog post written by Robin Landgon, an energy efficiency specialist with the Raleigh chapter of the Environmental Defense Fund.

Our nation is engaged in an on-going debate about the importance of long-term, clean energy and climate policy.  Much of the debate centers on the costs of such policy and makes little attempt to identify the potential enormous benefits.  In the last 24 months the volume on this debate has intensified, and this summer may present Americans with an opportunity to move beyond debate and actually make good public policy a reality.  This summer, the United States Senate will likely discuss and debate the recently introduced American Power Act, which, if enacted, could unleash economic growth and opportunity for the U.S. as well as for North Carolina.

On June 15, the Raleigh chapter of the Environmental Defense Fund will host an educational forum about the American Power Act at Cree. To RSVP for the event, RSVP to EDF here.

The idea for the June 15^th forum came about as a way to bring federal policy discussions closer to home and include North Carolinians in those discussions.  The forum’s objectives are to educate and talk with policymakers, small businesses, citizens, and other local interests about the often overlooked and significant potential benefits of long-term, clean energy policy. 

For example, wind turbines have some 8,000 component parts and robust, federal clean energy policy would encourage manufacturers to produce these parts, potentially many here in North Carolina.  Similarly, such policy could unleash market opportunities for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and clean technology products, including  LED lighting products.

The economic upside gets simultaneously larger and closer to home when considering both the opportunities (1) for the private capital markets to invest in innovations and other clean technology products that we currently can’t imagine and that we genuinely want to move beyond just the “drawing board”, and (2) to revitalize our communities and put ready, willing, and able workers back on the job.  The forum is designed to touch on many of these policy-driven opportunities and benefits.

Our nation, and North Carolina, has choices to make about how to move beyond our old energy habits and to consider changing how we generate, distribute, and consume energy.  We feel confident that the outcomes of the June 15^th forum on the American Power Act will (1) include a better understanding of the benefits of and opportunities from sound, clean energy policy, and (2) spark conversations, ideas, and innovations that show us all how participating in the debate is not only a matter of good public policy, but a matter of necessity.

Please be our guest — join us on June 15^th to learn more about how seemingly far away issues really do matter close to home.

   Ключ №1 открывает следующие модели домофонов:

   Метаком МК-2003
   Метаком М-10
   Метаком MK-20TME4
   CYFRAL CCD-2094.1
   CYFRAL CCD-2094.1М
   CYFRAL-intel
   Факториал DM-20TM
   Vizit SM-100
   Vizit БВД-N100
   Raikmann PROEL KDC-1803

   Ключ №1 расчитан на открывание именно этих домофонов, но возможно откроет и другие модели домофонов.
   Конроллер домофона, чаще всего в CYFRAL’ах может быть перепрограмирован установщиком домофона, и на универсальный ключ может не реагировать. Но это встречается редко.

   Некоторые экземпляры домофонов “Визит” открываются после второго прикосновения ключа спустя несколько секунд. Потом открываются сразу. Это конструктивная особенность отдельных домофонов “Визит”.
   Конроллер домофона может быть перепрограмирован установщиком домофона, и на универсальный ключ может не реагировать. Но это встречается редко.
