   Any TVA-like authority would likely end up using tax payer’s money to subsidize inefficient programs with poor payback. Government generally doesn’t create as many jobs as they suck the livelihood from the regular economy with wasteful job creation programs.
   I would recommend that the government simply run their own operations in a more sustainable way, and set their own operation as an example to companies, non-profits and individuals. As well, the government should remove the bias against alternative energy by removing tax breaks for oil, coal, and nuclear companies and remove gasoline taxes. The government will always favor any industry that provides them additional tax revenue (ie. gas taxes) so they will inadvertently lobby against renewable energy because it hurts their tax revenues.
   Sorry for sounding pessimistic but I believe in good old Yankee ingenuity – not Federal social engineering. Let’s create a level playing field and let renewable energy and conservation win based on good old competition for the hearts, minds and wallets of loving Americans!

   Let’s take it down to the level of bank-to-bank lending: Currently, 0 -1/4 % interest, for the entire year each item of a prioritized transition ‘package’ is pursued (definition of terms for the prioritization comes from a neutral party such as an ‘Energy Trust’)… eventual destination is a “net zero” home or business, stronger economy, safer planet.
   If one major ‘packeage’ item is completed each year, over a 15 year period most domiciles, offices & production facilities come back into the ownership of the family/business residing within. This generates equity (figuratively and literally) for other, broader social goals.

   Failed private sector activity is one of the key reasons the US is so far behind Europe where sensible and effective public policy actions have been (and continue to be) taken.

   As for the Obama Administration, I am concerned whatever the new energy policy becomes, it will be far less helpful than we might like.. the idea of giving a $300B tax break to consumers is absurd: such an action fosters no change and merely enables continued consumer spending rather than green investment.

   They probably didn’t want to inslatl a fan. If you if you vent up? there is a natural circulation of air. I’m sure that with the right design you could probably get it to vent down but it would require more thought! lol
