Have you ever opened your attic access and been greeted with that blast of incredibly hot air? That’s “oppression” , and it’s responsible for keeping every home several degrees hotter then it has to be. In addition, it’s the primary cause for most mold and mildew problems found in homes today.
By keeping the attic air cooler, less heat can be conducted by the ceiling, which is one of the primary cause of heat gain within the house interior. In addition, it should increase the life of your roofing, as well as anything you may have in your attic space.
Shrink your energy bill, save money and earn a home tax credit all at once .A properly placed Solar Attic Fan reduces heat gain! By reducing the amount of radiant heat that is conducted by the ceiling, heat gain within the interior can be dramatically reduced. Attic temperatures can reach 170° F or more in the summer. That translates to ceiling temperatures that can reach a 100° F or more.
By venting heat within the attic before it is conducted by the ceiling, ceiling temperatures can be lowered by 10°-30° F. Interior room temperatures can be lowered as much as 15° F.
You can save thousands of dollars in electric expenses over the life expectancy of a quality Solar Attic Fan. Lower AC usage equates to less wear and tear on the equipment which, in turn, lowers maintenance costs.
REMEMBER....Not all solar fans are created equal, it is very important you do your homework on WHO the manufacturer is, WHAT the product is made of and WHERE you can get specific data to back up any claims of performance.

President Obama's words would have more meaning if he practiced what he preached.
In a statement, Obama said Syria's moves to repeal a decades-old emergency law and allow peaceful demonstrations were not serious in light of Friday's events.
He called on Assad to change course and obey the will of his people by giving them what they seek -- freedom of expression, association, peaceful assembly and the ability to choose their leaders. - Fox News online

Central Banks
Central banks are printing more money than they ever have, so what’s the value of money in terms of purchases of goods and services. Just look at gold as just another currency that they can’t print any more of.

Debt vs. Deficit
If the government spends more than it takes in over the course of one year, then it has run a deficit. A deficit applies to just one year. When the government runs a deficit, then it must borrow money to make up the difference. When the government runs a deficit, then it must borrow money to make up the difference. A debt is completely different. Think of debt as accumulated deficits. If the government has to borrow money every year, then its debt will continue to grow year-after-year. This debt does not disappear unless the government elects to try and pay it down (rare occurrence). The debt usually grows year-after-year. With each additional deficit, the debt continues to grow. The US government is expected to run a trillion dollar plus deficit this year. This is in additional to the debt that the federal government has already accumulated since its inception.
