RE-ENERGIZING PHOENIX:
Arizona has been practically ruined by short-sighted, right wing Republican policies, as outlined in considerable detail in this Daily Kos article.
Thing about Arizona is it is one of the most ideal places in the world for solar energy. This should be blatantly obvious. I think re-energizing Arizona into the world leader in Solar Energy could well be a major part of solving Arizona's financial crisis.
Below are a few resources for people interested in Alternative energy for Phoenix in particular and Arizona in general.

HISPANIC WOMEN'S CONFERENCE:
The Hispanic Women's Corporation (HWC) was founded in 1981 as a result of a series of meetings among Latina women whose shared experiences sparked recognition that Latinas have unique social concerns, cultural challenges and opportunities requiring exploration. Their diverse backgrounds in corporations, government and educational institutions led to the establishment of the HWC leadership and professional development institutes for women and students. HWC now has become a national force drawing over 2000 women to the Executive, Professional and Youth Leadership Institutes. Mis Negocios en Español will be a special Institute dedicated to the Spanish-speaking/bilingual entrepreneur. Continuing our HWC Youth Leadership Institute is imperative as we focus on the future of our 500 young Latinas annually in their high school years for higher education academic preparation and career initiatives.
