I couldn't help but think about a recent faith healing case in Portland. A man was convicted and sent to jail for using faith healing with his sick daughter and not using modern medical techniques to help her. I got me thinking. Are we using the faith healing equivalent on our forests? Shouldn't we consider using modern forestry practice to help bring the forest back? Couldn't we replant a forest that would be more disease resistant, provide better habitat and be less fire prone? The catastrophic release of CO2 the first time was bad enough. By sitting still aren't we guaranteeing that it will happen again?” This quote relates to the 2003 B & B Fire. From here: “The tall contraption that looks like a silo, is a silo-for the pellets. They burn about two full silo's per year. The box in the front holds the burner and it is so clean inside, you could live in there. Jim is rightfully proud of his system. It is clean, renewable and CO2 neutral. Jim is saving operating cost and is delivering the same or better product. It is amazing to me that I had to go to Burns, Oregon to see this.” From here: “We have the greatest state in the nation. It is unparalleled in assets. We have: - Natural resources - Forests - Rivers - Lakes - Farm land - Ranch land - Abundant renewable energy resources - Sun - Wind - Water - Multiple deep-water Pacific Ocean ports - A diverse economy. - A High Technology base in the Willamette Valley - Heavy manufacturing - Light manufacturing - Abundant cost-effective and CO2-free energy - Leadership in green buildings and public transportation - A pioneering spirit infused in our culture dating back to Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.” From here: “Allen first got a taste for politics in 1964 when he helped his mother work on a Washington gubernatorial campaign. He was reintroduced in January 2007 when he became the deputy chief of staff for the Governor of Oregon.” And “Earning recognition for accomplishments including: -2008 Andrus Leadership Award for Sustainability and Conservation - Oregon Business Plan Steering Committee Chairman -2007 Purdue University Distinguished Engineering Alumni -2006 Purdue University Old Master -2005 Forbes Magazine Fourth Fastest Growing Technology Company -2004 Oregon Technology Company of the Year (Publicly Traded, Less than $250 million) -2004 Oregon Community Involvement Award -2004 Teddy Award presented by Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski -40th Fastest Growing Company on 2003 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 List -2002 Oregon Technology Executive of the Year -2002 Purdue University Outstanding Mechanical Engineer -22nd Fastest Growing Company on 2002 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 List -2001 Ernst & Young’s Pacific Northwest Technology Entrepreneur of the Year -2001 Fabless Semiconductor Association Financial Performance Award -2001 Oregon Entrepreneur Forum Technology Company of the Year -2001 Fastest Growing Public Company in Oregon -Top performing company in Deloitte & Touche’s 2001 Oregon Technology Fast 50 -2000 Oregon Technology Company of the Year” I searched Alley’s current campaign website… nothing on Global Warming, Climate Change, Carbon… BINGO – the buzzword is “CO2” for Alley. Even after logging into the campaign site, wouldn’t let me access the first document “10- 14-Greenhouse-GasEmissions.pdf” From here: “He attracted some 200 people to an electric-car dealership in the heart of Democratic Portland to hear him talk about the idiocy of burning oil - he derisively referred to petroleum as "20-million-year-old fossils" - as our primary source of energy. Simply put, you weren't hearing any "drill, baby, drill" rhetoric from Alley, who earlier this year became the first and only candidate so far to formally jump into the race.” And “Rep. Scott Bruun, R-West Linn, one of the several GOP moderates I spotted in the crowd, called Alley an "Oregon moderate in the best tradition...Oregonians are not going to be threatened by Allen Alley." And “Alley also attracted such conservatives as Jeff Grossman, a veteran member of the state Republican central committee from Washington County. He praised Alley's business experience and said he's talked enough to the candidate to be reassured there is "nothing non-Republican about him." I, personally, have a question for this Oregonian reporter & Alley - “In what country are the electric cars made that Allen Alley was supporting?” A look in the Wayback Machine and we see that when Allen ran for State Treasurer in Oregon (2008) he said this on his campaign site: “In the battle against global climate change, our forests and rangelands are important assets in processing and sequestering CO2. In my work in the Governor’s office, I researched how we can create an innovative state-operated carbon credit bank that makes Oregon a constructive force in any market-based system (cap and trade plan) to reduce CO2 emissions. This creates a win-win situation in that it enables the state to generate revenue by protecting our lands in order to battle global climate change and by implementing ‘green’ building projects. In this manner, we will create incentives for sustainable and energy efficient buildings including installation of solar panels, use of fuel cells or biofuels, and retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency.” Another look in the Wayback Machine at Alley’s ’08 Treasurer campaign: “Over the past decade, homeownership rates have increased with the combination of easier credit and innovative programs that help first-time homebuyers. This is also true of minorities in Oregon, although the unfortunate fact is that this population lags far behind the broader population. Homeownership rates among Latinos and African-Americans in Oregon are 40% behind the state average. Through a combination of resources, financial literacy programs, and effective outreach, I will make it a point to close this gap. Although the national housing crisis has hit other regions of the country harder than Oregon, we have not been able to avoid the slump in home prices and the impact families feel when their mortgages adjust to the new market rate. Much can be done between homeowners and lenders to find a solution that works for both. But, the government can do two important things to help. First, as Oregon State Treasurer, I will work with financial services companies, not-for-profit organizations, and state agencies to promote the rights of homeowners and the tools available to them if they struggle to make home payments. Second, I will work with the Oregon Investment Council, professional staff in the Office of the Treasurer, and private sector lenders to educate Oregonians. Third, I will work with the private sector to determine home lending guidelines and disclosure to help a better educated consumer make the best decisions for their particular situations. Finally, I believe there are great investment opportunities in Oregon real estate. I would work with the Oregon Investment Council to determine if there is a role the Treasury could provide to help Oregonian families and provide outstanding returns.” And, again – thanks to the Wayback Machine! “If elected, I will focus my energies into several core areas: * Ensuring the financial stability of retirement accounts, college savings plans, and the school stability fund. * Promoting economic development, particularly in the area of renewable energy and sustainable technology. * Making post-secondary education an expectation for every Oregon child, whether it be a 4-year university or college, a 2-year associates degree, or training in an important trade. * Conserving Oregon’s natural beauty on its state lands, while recognizing that the rural economy relies on the prudent and sustainable management of our forests. * Promoting homeownership for Oregonians who want a place they can truly call “home,” but who need a little assistance – either with the initial down-payment or with a restructured loan. Bipartisanship is one of the most trivialized terms of our time. I have learned as a Republican, serving as Governor Kulongoski’s Chief of Staff, that it is often difficult. But it is essential if we are going to rise above our differences and deliver progress for Oregonians. My commitment is to work cooperatively with elected leaders of all parties to secure a promising future for our state.” From here: “He said he wants to see federal mileage standards raised to 100 miles per gallon by 2020 as part of what he says is
