The Faber Initiative

Given the current state of the economy, I intend to create jobs, retrain workers and enhance the emergency preparedness of our country. By utilizing solar and wind technology we can turn every church building into a power producing site, eliminating monthly electric bills and potentially selling excess wattage back to power companies. This process will have a positive impact on the national power grid.Recent acts of congress make the implementation of this plan extremely cost effective due to state and federal incentives. My company can do all the preparatory legwork like site evaluations, and audits of compliance for qualification into these programs. We have the capacity to do this in every state. We need to start somewhere to reduce the outflow of American capital to those whom will do us harm.Your feedback will be greatly appreciated. Pickens has his plan, and I have the Initiative. Lets make another positive impact on American society. There are many more things we can do to promote an eco-friendly existence, there is no limit to American ingenuity.This may seem like a lofty goal, but it is well within the capacity of resources. Bringing Bishops, Pastors and Priests together toward the completion of a common goal would be a true example of what they represent. Are you ready to be part of the solution. I am.
