The Inflation Reduction Bill- Will 369 Billion Save the Planet?
The Inflation reduction act of 2022 represents the largest investment in climate repair in US History by far. It is estimated to reduce emissions by 40% by 2030. So, will this legislation save the planet from this spiraling overheating? No, not in my opinion. This bill however is designed to kick start multiple segments of clean energy and that will certainly help.
Aside from reducing the deficit, protecting health care access and reducing prescription drug pricing, this bill is mostly focused on proving a path for consumers, home and building operators to convert to more expensive equipment that is less costly to operate.
Breaking News: An Automotive Revolution Begins Today
America’s most popular vehicle for over 30 years has finally retired. Announced today April 26th 2022 Ford Automotive and the American Auto Association will debut the new All Electric Ford F-150 Pickup Truck. WHAT? Did Scott just say that the classic, iconic F-150 will no longer use fuel!!!! Has Ford gone crazy?
War will Create an EV Explosion
There is no doubt that Electric Vehicles are growing quickly in popularity. For good reason, these vehicles are good looking, fast, smart, have few moving part to repair and use no fuel. The myth about not being able to find a place to charge has been busted long ago, and the range and batteries keep getting better. In fact I believe the new EV Ford F150 beats the conventional gas version in every category including towing. But What now? Today Russia has begun a heinous and devastating ground war against its Sovern Democratic neighbor Ukraine after no provocation. This is a sad week on planet earth. Both Russia and Ukraine are major gas and oil suppliers to the EU and our US Government has issued sanctions that may soon halt Russian oil supply. This type of chaos in the world oil market will certainly raise gas prices. I believe that this war and its infuriating ramifications will be the tipping point driving US consumers right into the EV showroom.

BREAKING NEWS: Ozone kills Covid-19
I spent the month of March 2020 looking for us studies on how well Ozone, as well as other proven mechanical methods could help with the coming Covid scourge. So frustrated was I, that in April 2020 I began the book entitled Win the War on Covid-19 in an effort to help the US public, and inspire a US university or the EPA to study the effectiveness of Ozone or O3 specifically against the Sars Cov-2 virus. And I wait and wait, wondering why this facility consultant knows darn well of the effectiveness of UV light, Photocatalytic oxidation and Ozone technology, at deactivating singe cell predators.
Can UV light Kill the Covid-19 Virus?
Clinical studies have shown that the spectrum emitted from natural UV sun light is effective when exposed to bacteria and virus. Man-made UVC light is considerably more effective at sanitation in close proximity to contagion.

Fight Powdery Mildew on your Cannabis
The indoor grow environment can be difficult to control exactly and often becomes an ideal environment for crop destroying fungus or mold called Powdery Mildew or PM. Powdery Mildew and other fungus issues are difficult to control and can overcome even clean well-maintained grow rooms, destroying entire crop cycles. To make matters worse Sates are beginning to restrict the fungicides available to growers, leaving them at risk. Layered prevention is the best way to prevent a PM disaster.
Building Bench-Marking Increases Facility Efficiency
Good news spreads fast and so do good ideas. That’s what seems to be happening in the arena of Building Energy Benchmarking. At least 21 major cities have launched a required reporting process for building owners of various sizes. It seems to be way modern Mayors are able to prove their “Green”. Smart, in this era of rising energy rates and concern over pollution, benchmarking serves as a Win x 4 solution without too much trouble from building owners. It was piloted in NY City where 3,600 buildings over 50,000 sq feet required reporting of their energy and water usage.
