Don’t Let Congress Pull the Plug on Solar Energy, Jobs and Economic Growth.
Local Renewable Energy creates three times more jobs than fossil fuel or energy imported from other regions.
Keep Our Country strong Like a Rock.
The final 2007 Energy Bill is taking shape right now in Washington, with House and Senate negotiators determining what will stay in the final package. Your help is critically needed to ensure important solar provisions stay in this legislation.
TAKE ACTION – 4 Easy Steps:
1) Call the local offices of your U.S. Senators and Representative today. You can find their phone numbers at:
http://www.vote-smart.org
find your representative by YOUR ZIP CODE or state
http://www.house.gov
KEY MESSAGES:
Urge them to support extending the solar energy tax credit
This will help strengthen the economy, generate jobs, and reduce energy costs
2) Also, email your elected representatives
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/votesolar/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=6766&t=ActionAlert.dwt
3) Tell your friends and colleagues about this important opportunity to support solar and encourage them to contact their members of Congress as well.
4) Print the ASES Action Alert and post in the break area at work or on a community board

MORE JOBS and ECONOMIC GROWTH
Per the Wisconsin Energy Bureau, Locally generated renewable energy (solar water heating, solar pool heating, solar building heating, passive solar buildings, solar daylighting, solar electric, wind energy, micro-hydro, earth energy, organic vegetable diesel fuel, solar-hydrogen fuel cells, wind-hydrogen fuel cells, wave-hydrogen fuel cells, tidal power, Geothermal Hydronic heating and cooling, organic farming and gardening), creates THREE TIMES more jobs and economic growth in local economies than using imported fossil fuel or energy from other regions.

SAND MASS SOLAR HEAT STORAGE
-very cost effective for Cloudy Winter days
Some European manufactures use the floor for thermal mass heat storage. This can keep the building warm for three to seven days if electricity is lost or there are many cloudy days in a row or if there is little daylight during the winter.
One method is to put a layer of insulation on the ground, using the same insulation that is used for the Monolithic Dome, see
http://www.monolithicdome.com. Then, a three foot (one meter) layer of sand is placed over the insulation. In the sand is placed the hydronic radiant floor heating system or hot water pipes. The sand is cover with aluminum foil. Then the flooring system is placed on top of the sand.
A deeper base of sand may be used to obtain more thermal mass for areas of extreme cold. The hot water heats up the thermal mass of sand allowing the retained heat to keep the building warm if electricity is lost or there are many cloudy days.
An additional option for multi story buildings is to place one foot (1/3 meter) of sand between upper level floors and to place additional hydronic heating pipes in the sand. A floor systems is placed on top of the sand. The building has to be built extra strong to withstand the additional weight of the sand sub-flooring. Some manufactures use the steel framing method for homes and buildings to obtain the strength needed for the additional weight of the sand. See
http://www.tri-steel.com for steel homes and buildings.
