I am very excited to announce my participation in the launch of
We are an on-line community of people who are passionate about Electric Vehicles and we’re not shy about it. We have come together to find and organize the best content from blogs and other web sites. The goal is to create a place where it’s easy to find current and highly relevant content.
And we intend to stimulate and grow new connections – a whole lot of them. Starting right now.
If you want to have your finger on the pulse of what’s happening on the South Bay green scene being on Dency Nelson’s Friends for A Green Hermosa Beach e-mail list is a pretty damn good place to start.
The green story of Dency Nelson is worth an entire blog onto itself, but he’s far too busy and actively involved to ever have time for that. His green roots go back to the 1970s along with those of his friend, Ed Begley Jr.
Ed became a star in front of the camera, Dency became a superstar on the other side of the camera. Today they both drive electric cars powered from the charge generated via their rooftop solar panels.
Today, I think a new TV series called “Living With Dency” has the potential to be an even bigger hit than “Living With Ed” has been. After all, Dency lives in the far more telegenic South Bay and his solar panels have an ocean view…

President Obama Steps Up To Save The Economy & The Climate While Republicans No Longer RelevantI wholeheartedly applaud, support and endorse President Barack Obama’s signing of the $787 billion economic recovery bill just moments ago. I cheer his rapid action less than a month after taking office to start getting us out of the Bush Depression – both literally and figuratively.
This bill is not only the most sweeping economic recovery package in our nation’s history, it’s also the greenest.
Fortunately for all of us, climate change guru, Joe Romm of Climate Progress, has already done the heavy lifting and outlined just how green and positive this new bill is. Read:

In a surprise to to all but the most savvy readers of this blog, Joe Galliani, the Creative Greenius, today fired the editors of The Daily Breeze newspaper and took over responsibility for all local environmental news coverage and analysis.
“I’d like to thank Phil Sanfield, Toni Sciacqua and Mike Carroll for the time they spent doing whatever it is they did with the paper – but I really can’t, not based on their truly lousy job performance.
They never worked very hard and they spent way too much time making personal phone calls and just goofing off. I’ve been carrying them for far too long and it’s time for them to go now. And when I say ‘now,’ I mean as in hours ago,” said Galliani who informed the three editors of their termination via e-mail.

I’m afraid the time has come to pull the plug on GM’s life support so we can plug into a whole new kind of Motors much better than General. I’m talking about electric motors. EVs.
And I’m talking about killing GM the way GM killed the electric car.
With extreme prejudice.
With a bullet to the brain.
The brain of GM will never feel it. The brain of GM has been dead for a long time now.
Here’s what I’m proposing:
As our Creative Greenius traffic continues to multiply exponentially – we’ve now surpassed our entire 2008 page hit total in just the first 42 days of 2009 – one of the reasons why is referrals from other web sites.
And when it comes to referrals no single source has given us more traffic then alphainventions.com a website that offers an ever changing shuffle mix of blogs from all around the planet, including Creative Greenius.
So Green Greetings alphainventions.com readers who have stumbled upon this site. I invite you to enjoy a visit with us. I’m here to cleverly cut through the crap to change the climate. Literally and figuratively.
As your host I want you to make yourself comfortable, kick your shoes off, unbuckle your belt, have a refreshing beverage or imbibe as is your want.
Enjoy a tasty chocolate treat or snack item while you’re here. Look! I’ve just baked chocolate chip cookies for everyone as a Valentines gift:
If you’re not too busy, maybe you can help me save your children and your children’s children by waking everyone up, setting them straight and showing them way out from here.
Don’t worry, I know the way. I’ve got a good map.
I know I should be in Washington DC in two weeks to help take over the capitol on behalf of green jobs, clean energy and ending our carbon-based economy.
I know I should be there contributing, blogging and shooting pictures, marching and lobbying and networking with my green brothers and sisters in arms.
I know I should be there with the 10,000 young people who are gathering in Washington to hold our elected officials’ feet to the accountability fire.

While our nation’s economy teeters on the brink of a catastrophe caused by the same defiantly ignorant individuals who supported every bonehead policy of the President who spent a trillion dollars invading the wrong country, here’s what those same failures and losers have to contribute to the debate now. WATCH THIS:
I attended the first 2009 meeting of the Torrance Environmental Quality and Energy Conservation Commission last Thursday night and it was curiously different from anything I expected.
First of all, I was the only member of the public who attended the meeting. Secondly, the energy level, enthusiasm and sense of urgency I’ve experienced at other environmental meetings was nowhere to be found among the Commissioners. Maybe they all wished they were watching the Lakers-Celtics game that night instead…
Your Greenius already knew the Lakers would beat down Boston, so my focus was fixed on what was going down in the room.

Your Creative Greenius has been working hard around my home and office to cut my needless electricity use. Not only do I power down my computers at night, but I now have four different power strips that get shut off too. The difference that’s made in cutting my “phantom energy use” has been serious in cutting my bill from SCE, not to mention my personal carbon footprint.
I also spend time volunteering for the South Bay Environmental Services Center in which I try to spread the energy savings and conservation message to everyone I come in contact with. All intelligent people know that if we practiced energy efficiency seriously in the United States we could save billions and billions of dollars and cut our greenhouse gas emissions by huge amounts. If you hear someone arguing against conservation and efficiency you know you’re talking to someone who is easily proven wrong.
But what if we each knew exactly how much energy every electrical appliance we plug into our wall sockets actually used? And what if we knew exactly how much each appliance cost us? Think you might use that knowledge and your lizard brain and start to use your electricity more wisely? Is it possible you could actually practice some cognitive behavior? Maybe you can’t do that in your personal relationships, but I bet you can if it saves you money on your electric bill.
