Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    COMMUNITY BANKING: Banking for American communities, not for greedy CEOs.

    For those who are fed up with the predatory lending, bad customer service and greedy politics of the big banks, here is a local alternatives that HELPS North Carolina: North Carolina's Self-Help Credit Union (for Espanol click here). From their website:

    The nonprofit Center for Community Self-Help and its financing affiliates Self-Help Credit Union, Self-Help Federal Credit Union, and Self-Help Ventures Fund provide financing, technical support, consumer financial services, and advocacy for those left out of the economic mainstream. Since its founding in 1980, Self-Help has reached out to female, rural and minority communities across North Carolina, in Washington, D.C., California, and many other states.

    We help borrowers nationwide to build wealth through ownership of a home or business.

    We strengthen underserved communities by financing nonprofits, childcare centers, community health facilities, public charter schools and residential and commercial real estate projects, and manage retail credit union branches providing responsible and fairly priced accounts and services.

    We operate a secondary market program that enables private lenders to make more loans in low-wealth communities.

    Over time we have learned, and demonstrated, that low-income borrowers pose no greater credit risk than others. Our borrowers have proven their determination to repay their loans, build their businesses, improve their communities, and build wealth through home equity.


    For regular banking, online banking, loans (of the NON-predatory kind!), and credit cards, click here to start working with a financial institution you can like and trust and which helps local North Carolina families.

    Alternative Energy and Sustainable Agriculture in North Carolina:


    ALTERNATIVE FUELS:

    There are two kinds of alternate fuels that are readily available that lower your carbon foot print and use AMERICAN resources and create AMERICAN jobs rather than supporting big oil companies and oil nations like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela.

    ETHANOL: Cars labeled FlexFuel (now becoming common in some states) can use up to E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline). E85 burns cleaner than gasoline and is usually cheaper. I have used E85 in California and found it to be 10-40 cents cheaper than the cheapest gasoline at the same station. CLICK HERE TO FIND STATIONS IN NORTH CAROLINA OFFERING E85. This can be a really good way to help the American economy, help the environment, AND save money.

    BIODIESEL: Pretty much ANY diesel engine can use biodiesel. Biodiesel burns cleaner and in most engines is better for the engine. It can be more expensive than regular diesel depending on the location, but is better for the environment, is better for most diesel engines, and is good for the local economy. You can find nearby stations and cooperatives (often the best option) that offer biodiesel by clicking here and either clicking on your state on the map or entering your zip code. We used biodiesel in a rental car one year and loved it.

    Here are a couple of biodiesel cooperatives in North Carolina. If you drive a diesel car or truck, please check them out.

    Piedmont Biofuels
    The most successful biodiesel cooperative in America
    Pittsboro, NC

    Here is a list of services offered.

    Three locations: Production site, co-op and educational site.

    Here are some other alternative energy groups in North Carolina:

    North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association is a 501c3 non-profit membership organization of individuals and businesses interested in sustainable energy. Located in Raleigh but active throughout the state, NCSEA works to ensure a sustainable future by promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency in North Carolina through education, public policy and economic development. Go here to get involved. To find upcoming events, go here.

    Greensboro Sustainable Living Meetup Group:
    Meet others in your town interested in various Environmental issues on global and/or a local level.

    This is a forum for people to get together and discuss issues and share ideas on sustainable living. Let's share ideas about organic and locally grown food, reducing toxins in our environment, reducing our use of resources, the carbon issue, raising healthy children, etc.

    People who should join include those with expertise to share, those wanting to learn more, and anyone interested in building community through environmental initiatives. For more info, go here.

    Alternative Energy Resources in North Carolina: a short summary of alternative energy resources for North Carolina. For more information on each technology, visit the State Energy Alternatives Technology Options page.

    North Carolina Sustainable Agriculture Organizations and Publications: Whether you're a beginning farmer, or an experienced agricultural producer interested in transitioning to more sustainable practices, you may want to start by learning more about the principles of sustainable agriculture and some of the "systems" approaches associated with it.

    Repowering NC:

    Appalachian Voices works with communities and organizations across North Carolina committed to a clean energy future. Due to our efforts, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Clean Smokestacks Act in 2002, which has dramatically reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide, mercury and oxides of nitrogen from fourteen existing coal-fired power plants in the state. Now, we are working to transition away from dirty, coal-fired power, promote energy efficiency and renewable energy, and stop the burning of mountaintop removal coal.

    Repowering North Carolina Coalition

    We are working in coalition with several other grassroots organizations to develop an ambitious vision to get North Carolina moving towards a cleaner energy future. We will be encouraging individuals, organizations, businesses and local governments to endorse a resolution with that goal in mind and leverage regulatory and legislative changes to make a cleaner energy future a reality.

    Moving Away From Coal-Fired Electricity

    Our work in opposing Duke Energy’s Cliffside coal-fired plant culminated in reducing the plant in half and created an atmosphere in which construction of new coal plants will be near impossible in North Carolina. We also made a strong case to move away from mountaintop removal coal, as evidenced by this quote from Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy:

    “I’m under incredible pressure on mountaintop mining…I’m doing the math now and looking to determine my contracts and posing the question to my team, what if we made a policy decision that we’re not going to buy coal as a consequence of mountaintop mining. I actually can see a future where coal is not in the equation in 2050.”

    We will continue to advocate that capital investments be made in renewable energy and energy efficiency, rather than in coal-fired power plants.

    WIND POWER NC:

    Learn more about wind energy in North Carolina

    In Western North Carolina alone, there is enough responsibly-sited wind power to easily replace the Cliffside plant. However, North Carolina is currently facing the most extreme, anti-wind energy legislation in the country, in the form of Senate Bill 1068.
