giving the financial houses money in the hopes that they will loan it to the housing markets, and giving them remarkablly low interest rates, and yet they are in control on who they will, or won't, loan the money too... and of course they are sensitive to writing bad loans... thinking, ok dreaming, *way* outside the box.... what if the government again sends out stimulus funds to home owners for them to 1) pay down the loan or 2) use to qualify to refi to the lower current interest rates or 3) rehab, or add-on, or do the new roof... or something similar. All of which may help them stay in the house and not loose it, which helps the housing market...
And then there is my personal favorite. what if 10% of the households in geographies that could benefit from PV solar installations.... put it in? This means you are generating electricity during the day, the grid will get your excess, It's something that works right now today, no R&D or ROI or any other investments needed to get it off the ground, just buy and get it installed, so it could make things like working at home (telecommuting!) more viable because you could run heat or AC, and then like most technology items the more solar you do the better the yield, cost, etc etc gets better AND can you say short range electric only cars? car parking covers that are at work get PV (or other technology - no diff to me) with plug ins so you can charge that car at work? No need to build transmission lines from where it's created to where you needed it, you are doing it where it's needed. Not saying to give up on other "alternative energy" but this one is a right now thing. It can be implemented about as fast as putting a new roof on your house. Wonder if you can install it about 4 inches off the roof, does that make the house cooler in Arizona for instance? It gives jobs in that installation industry, now. Yes, there are area that the solar doesn't work well. That supply and demand should still help in those areas, if I don't use it in Southern California, Arizona, West Texas, Florida, and other parts of the country... maybe, just maybe the cost to those that do use that energy source gets lower? So what if the government does a stimulus package for this kind of thing?
