The Sub-Committee on Energy & Environment held hearings yesterday with worthy of confidence experts concerning The Electricity Grid Future and National Transmission Policy to get the big wheels project turning.

Among the many complex outlines, underlying progresses, and undermining courses of action, scope & purpose met in the middle to determine that the "federal backstop" was most favorable when 3 main points of view stand out above the rest in the interest of the American people as a whole; no specific systems; no specific cost allocations; and specific Legislation that can not be utilized in the courts as a means for un-necessary delay.

As the commendable panel(s) of experts testified before Congress for their vision of the long term solutions, the identification for quantifying, prioritizing, developing, and reviewing action(s) of risk takes us out of yesterday into today. 

From one of the most enlightening events in our Nations history when 'ol Ben tied a key to a string that was fastened to a kite in a brewing thunder storm, the shut down of America's analog service across the States just goes to say, "as some things obsolete themselves into existence, forming combinations clearly emphasize a condition with respect to circumstances in re-structured phases around science, technology, engineering, and management are just the simple creation of tomorrows visions for today and the next".

As the Smart Grid starts to gain real traction with an upcoming meeting of more than 40 of our Country's Governors pursuant to State to State transactions where ground construction is best served, concerns of cost overlays brought up the scenario of who should eat the initial costs especially for those States that don't immediately access the National Grid. With that last sentence obviously positioned where it should be, where the National Grid overlaps like an extension cord stretched across their yards, Transmission Alternate Path Systems (TAPS) or relay stations could be built outside rural and un-developed areas and could be monitary allocated as specific language of the "federal backstop". 

If Ben Franklin were alive today having just have one statement in this complex world we now live that he helped create, I'd guess he'd say something along the lines of, "Interstate Highways & Railroads have given each State their ability for the transfer of ideas to conclude that this particular "federal backstop" program should include language that taxes received from host businesses of the National Grid should be returned as dividends for citizens who consume that energy under their specific jurisdiction in such a most delightful expansion of progress that which I am eternally grateful".

As profits provide their first major returns from 10 banks paying back approximately 70 Billion dollars borrowed from the TARP Program, the usual opposition utilized wasted energy in miniscule amounts of time remonstrating when President Obama also inferred in the same teleconference that he would re-energize the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) rule.  

In a nut shell, Paygo's physiological metaphor requires that each tax & entitlement bill avail that for every dollar spent there must be a dollar saved and at the end of the year if the net effect of tax and entitlement legislation increases the budget deficit, an automatic series of entitlement spending cuts would trigger an offset of those costs.  However, the reason Paygo is a figure of speech not literally applicable in resemblance of a normal functioning organism is because it is a discretionary rule and not actual law.

In view of "times they are a changing" reflecting the probability that President Obama & team are truly demonstrating the entire will of America's economic security, a gentle reminder of this reckless mess The United States is in still rests upon the shoulders of the Republicans and 2010 is not enough time for the American people to get over that fact especially since key members of the GOP are back on the road of spewing the vicious nature of their ill-mannerisms. 

Now that Paygo has been officially laid on the table, a quick trip down memory lane remembers that Thomas Edison championed the electrifying "changing of times" with direct current and Nikolai Tesla championed the electrifying "changing of times" with alternating current.  However, an American Icon known as General Electric (GE) has diversified those meager discoveries and fashioned them into being one of the largest and most respected companies in the world.  Since Americans are in the business of wanting to get back to the basics of being a part of something like that, any realized mechanism like the "cash for clunkers" Bill that passed the House of Representatives with almost full bi-partisan support yesterday clears it's way to obvious in the right direction of putting America back on the road of stabilization.

So as America gets used to a new President and Congress more focus relaxed while in control, the thawing effect of allowing plans of recovery to do the alpha-bravo-charlie tango will hopefully allow The United States to waltz it's way to organizing 1,2,3 in step  with "GreenEarth" seeds that plant fruitful trees.

Last words in the lane:

The dunce cap award goes to the EPA who seem to think that taxing farmers for methane from animal livestock such as bovine and pigs is a valid intent of cap and trade legislation?  Notwithstanding "manmade" being the only feasible regard of the cap and trade program, those braniacs over at the Environmental Protection Agency are heading for a train wreck such as taxing the land and sea that naturally spews methane into the atmosphere that is the only part of Paygo that works.  Why you ask while I laugh so hard my gut hurts at the stupidity of that leadership?  The volatility in bulk will actually save in spending as the cost ratio (taxes) will only work for American families because it won't hurt anything associated with the human food chain.  Moreover, I think I already made my point without mentioning that taxing livestock does nothing at all in the reduction of methane's natural participation of this planet completely observing the duhh!
