Having made that general statement,
I wish to say to may friend that we need
to face up to the problem of trade. We
need to recognize, as I think my able
friend will completely agree, that we
need a mutually profitable policy of
trade relations with our friends abroad.
It would be regrettable indeed if we
turned our backs on our friends in mutually
profitable trade policies.
Mr. JAVITS. I am grateful to my
Madam President, I ask unanimous
consent that I may proceed for an additional
minute, to complete my thoughts.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore.
Is there objection to the request
of the Senator from New York? The
Chair hears none, and it is so ordered.
Mr. JAVITS. In saying what I have
said about the British, I did not, of
course, in any way exclude the French,
with whom we are very friendly and
whom the President visited when he
visited - President de Gaulle, whose
problems in Algeria we regard with the
greatest of sytnpathy. I did not exclude
the West Germans. The President certainly
undertook a massive commitment
in every word he said last night in re- -
gard to them. That is demonstrably
This Is the case of Britain this morning.
The British obviously need some
help to sustain their part of the job.
When we are talking about these great
words-! do not call them brave words,
for they are great words-let us match
these great words with great deeds, not
after we become embroiled in trouble,
but when we are preparing for it.
Mr. ELLENDER. Madam President,
will the Senator yield?
Mr. JAVITS. I yield.
Mr. ELLENDER. Do I correctly understand
that the distinguished Senator
from New York is suggesting this country
loan more money to England? Where
does he suggest we obtain this additional
Mr. JAVITS. The Senator from Louisiana
is suggesting that this country
should make it possible for Britain to
carry a greater share of its defense responsibility,
which it is inhibited from
doing by money. I say it is cheaper, if
necessary, to lend money-and I say that
advisedly-than to appropriate it for
ourselves, in addition for our own Army,
NavY, and Air Force. I say precisely
Mr. ELLENDER. Madam President,
it was my privilege to visit Western
"Europe on two occasions last year. I
wish to say frankly that I have heard
more talk about war here in this country
than I did in Western Europe. The
people there do not seem to care. They
are enjoying tremendous prosperity, and
they look to the United States to put up
the money to defend them.
I am surprised and disappointed, after
all that we have done for the British,
that the distinguished Senator from
New York should stand on this floor and
say that we should help the British more
by way of loans. The British have not
repaid what they now owe us. I think
it is high time that the British, as well
as all the other nations of Western
Europe, shoulder more of the burdens
to keeping the free world free.
The Senator does not seem to take
cognizance of the fact that our great
country today owes more money now
than the rest of the whole world put together.
That is the extent of our national
debt. No country is making
greater sacrifices for freedom than is the
United States. But we should not be
asked to do this alone.
If the countries of Western Europe
took steps to help themselves not only
economically but also with respect to
meeting the crisis which is now before
us as was described by our great President
last night, we would go far toward
solving the problem.
Madam President, I wish I were able
today to tell the Senate what I learned
last summer in Western Europe as to the
efforts put forth by our so-called allies.
Unfortunately, our own military personnel
in those countries do not tell the
whole story. They report that our socalled
allies are making a full effort to
live up to their NATO obligations. But
this is not so. I saw this with my own
We carried the load during World War
I, during World War II, and during the
Korean war. We were overburdened,
but we carried the load on behalf of the
forces of freedom. We paid 94 percent
of the cost of the Korean conflict although
it was supposed to be a full
United Nations operation. Of all the
military personnel who died in Korea,
outside of the Koreans, 96 percent were
Americans. I do not want this to happen
Those who are in the most danger today
are, in my opinion, putting forth the
least effort. I hope the President will
take action whereby our so-called allies
will make sacrifices similar to those we
are called upon to make.
Unfortunately, I fear that as soon as
our allies read that we are increasing
the strength of our army to 1 million
men, that we are also increasing the
strength of our NavY and our Air Force,
that we will make an expanded expenditure
for conventional arms, then they
will begin to reduce their own efforts. I
fear they will say, "Why should we burden
ourselves with increased defense
spending? Uncle Sam will take care of
us. He has enough money for all of us."
Madam President, we cannot allow
this to happen. I, for one, stand ready
to support any expenditure of funds for
our protection, but I want our allies to
share in this burden. This is not only
our battle; this is a battle on behalf of
the entire free world. I hope that our
President will take every step necessary
to insure that the United States, and the
United States alone, will not be forced to
shoulder this heavY burden.
Mr. HUMPHREY. Madam President,
I take the liberty of uttering one word
of caution. I think in these particularly
crucial days we would do well in this
Chamber to attempt to bind up any
wounds we may have, to attempt to encourage
greater cooperation and unity
among ourselves and our allies, and be
constantly mindful that all sacrifices
are not monetary. Some sacrifices are
even greater than money. All nations
in the free world which have been engaged
in conflict have made great sacrifices.
My hope and plea is that we shall do
everything we can to give leadership, in
the truest sense of the word-to unite,
to strengthen, and to help wherever help
is needed.
Mr. BUSH. Madam President, apropos
of the remarks of my able friend, the
Senator from Louisiana [Mr. ELLENDER]
a few moments ago, and also the remarks
of the Senator from New York
[Mr. JAVITS], preceding those remarks
I should like to make the following observation.
It is all right to say that our
allies in the NATO organization are in
greater danger than we, and therefore
should do more. It is true that they are
in greater danger.
The fact is, however, as we learned
in World War I and in World War II,
that without the assistance of the United
States, with the full force and weight of
our strength behind the allied nations,
neither of those wars would have been
won against what was then the gigantic
power on the continent of Europe. So
I think that we must face the situation,
as President Kennedy did last night, in
a spirit of complete partnership and cooperation
and do whatever may be necessary
to fortify our friends individually
and collectively. If doing so Involves
bolstering the strength of the British
pound through extending additional
credit to them on a temporary basis, then
I think that such action should be considered,
and not ruled out because the
British already owe us some money.
In other words, my plea is that we are
in an exceedingly critical time, a time
of the gravest danger, as President Kennedy
pointed out last night in an extremely
vivid fashion. For that reason
we must examine every avenue of assistance
that may be open to us to render
to our allies, who are in greater danger
than ourselves, so to speak, but whose
danger is our danger from which we
cannot possibly escape.
Mr. JA VITS. Madam President, will
the Senator yield?
Mr. BUSH. I am happy to yield.
Mr. JAVITS. I am grateful to the
Senator for his remarks, because they
put in focus what I had in mind to say.
I did not wish to interrupt our colleague,
the distinguished Senator from Louisiana
[Mr. ELLENDER]. The question is
one of need. If the need is present,
then we must help our allies to supply
that need. Or if, as my colleague may
feel, in the case of West Germany or
France, there is a holding back and there
is no real financial need, but merely a
holding back for policy or other reasonsshort
draft terms, for example, which in
Germany are only 12 months compared
with our 2 years--there is a place where
we all, the President, Congress, and
everyone else who has influence, can lay
emphasis. But where there is a real
need, as the Senator, who is a distinguished
financier himself, has said, if, for
example, there is a sliding pound, and
bolstering it would be the way to get the
most out of our allies, we would indeed
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 41, Folder 22, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
, •
12530 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD- SENATE July 26
be shortsighted if we did not try to get
that potential realized.
Mr. BUSH. I thank the Senator.
Mr. MANSFIEI.D. Madam President,
last night, President Kennedy addressed
the Nation on the Berlin situation and
related matters. It was a clear call to
duty and responsibility.
He spoke of the needs of defense, with
neither panic nor trepidation, with
neither brashness or timidity. Rather,
he spoke temperately and firmly in terms
of a well-reasoned long-range plan for
strengthening the Armed Forces for a
multiplicity of eventualities.
He set forth the general scope of the
sacrifice which this will involve. This
sacrifice must be made if we are to maintain
the present intemational position of
the United States and freedom. The
first installment is in terms of personal
sacrifice on the part of the young men
and women who will be called to augment
the Armed Forces, and in terms of
the $3.5 billions for additional military
and civilian defense expenditures which
will be paid by the people of the Nation.
These measures, Madam President, and
others must be set in motion regardless
of immediate development in the international
situation. What may ensue in
the next few months no one can foretell.
Mr. Kennedy is looking squarely at the
dangers in the situation and acting prudently
with respect to them. But he has
not closed any doors to peaceful settlement,
through negotiations. The doors
are and will remain open to honest, give
and take negotiations. It is the highest
duty of statesmen of all nations, the
deepest responsibility which they have to
their own peoples and to humanity to see
to it that they remain open.
Mr. LAUSCHE. Madam President, I
desire to express my views on the President's
message. It was a sober, dispassionate,
objective presentation on the
problem confronting us. His theme was
that to achieve and maintain peace, it
is essential that we possess a military
strength adequate to cause the Soviet
Union to pause and think of the consequences
if it precipitates war.
Fleeing our responsibilities as citizens
and as a nation, and abandoning our
honor and the memory of the patriots,
soldiers, and heroes of the past will not
lead to peace. Flight will accelerate the
coming of the day of violence.
Yielding now will give encouragement
to the Communists to precipitate difficulties
in other parts of the world and upon
our very borders. If we give in now,
where do we stop?
While we declare our purpose and belief
not to suffer the loss of our rights
in Berlin, the people of our country
should know and believe it to be a fact
that our country will not precipitate
violence, but that if it is to come, it will
be the consequence of the unalterable
purpose of the Soviet. The Russian people
should understand that our country
wants peace, and that we will strive in
every honorable way possible to achieve
that peace through negotiation on matters
that are negotiably consistent with
the security of our country.
The details of the implementation of
the President's expanded preparedness
program will have to be studied before
I can express an opinion on it.
Madam President, I would also wish
to comment on the current discussions
with respect to our military leaders.
Madam President, I do not approve
of participation by our military leaders
in the political arguments taking place
between our respective political parties,
especially insofar as they partake in it
ostensibly in the performance of their
duties. However, I cannot approve the
increased attacks that are made upon
our military men. If I had to plan to
advance communism in the world, I
would urge the destruction of the confidence
of the people of the United States
in our military men. When we lose confidence
in our military structure, we
shall make an advance toward the success
of communism that will be unprecedented.
The Communists are probably dropping
the seeds, hoping that they will
unwittingly be fertilized by our leaders,
thus bringing attacks on our whole military
I, for one, do not subscribe to it; and
I want the people of my State to know
that, in my judgment, I want the military
vigorously to bespeak the virtues
of our system of government and point
out the evils of the Communists.
Tragically, we are frightening the
military from speaking about the goodness
of our Nation; and I cannot subscribe
to it.
Mr. WILEY. Madam President, President
Kennedy -sounded a trumpet for a
national alert and a mustering of
strength to defend the cause of freedom
in Berlin and elsewhere in the world.
The Nation, I am confident, will respond,
In my judgment, the President's talk
served the following purposes:
First, be warned Khrushchev that we,
as a nation would--contrary to Red assumption-
act "when the chips were
down," ready, alert, strong, to defend
the rights and the cause of freedom.
Second, he alerted our citizens to the
great seriousness of the present crisis.
Third, he announced the establishment
of a stronger foundation of military
strength-a language which the
Reds best understand-to cope with the
threats not only ir Berlin, but around
the globe.
From all the evidence, the struggle between
East and West will become sharper
in the days and years ahead.
This is particularly true in areas where
the West stiffens its backbone and tells
Khrushchev, "You cannot 'take over'
this land or people."
By recent action, too, we have analyzed
and corrected the twisted, distorted
logic of Soviet policy which
charges that any nation resisting Communist
efforts to take it over is, itself,
an aggressor. In addition, we, with our
allies, have clarified that war over Berlin-
now at peace--would be "blood on
the hands" of the Communists, not the
The right of self-determination by a
people behind, as well as in front of, the
iron and bamboo curtains fortunately
also bas now become a "negotiable"
issue, one which we can-and shoulddiligently
and relentlessly push.
With a stronger military defense, we
must also undertake a stronger counteroffensive
in the nonmilitary field-economically,
politically, ideologically.
In the struggle, however, we need a
new national attitude. Defense, alone,
or containment is no longer an effective
policy. Rather, WP. must assume a ccunteroffffensive
and not only defend free
lands that exist, but contest, with the
Communists, for recognition of the
rights of self-determination for peoples
and lands now within the Red orbit.
This will require a new national spirit
and policy, not simply of defending freedom
against aggression, but of mobilized,
dedicated efforts to go forth to
assure the triumph of freedom in the
Mr. BYRD of Virginia. Madam President,
the President's speech last night
clearly defined the issues between the
free world and communism. It was a
powerful statement of the American
position. I am in full accord with the
firm and unequivocal stand that bas
been taken.
It would be fatal to appease Russia
or to recognize Red China. I am convinced
that the course outlined by the
President is the course we must take.
Actually, he proposes preparation for
war to avoid a shooting war.
I hope Russia has reached the peak
of her power. There are some signs
that she may be losing ground. Not one
of her satellites is her friend. Thousands
upon thousands of East Germans
have been fleeing that unhappy country.
Red China's difficulties are gradually
becoming known.
But these signs must not deter us from
the immediate necessity for military
strength beyond traditional invincibility.
This may cost up to $50 billion this
year. And we must recognize that once
military buildup of this magnitude is
started it will continue a long time.
Ten years of cold war have been predicted
by well-informed authorities.
This means huge deficits or huge taxation.
The other alternative is reduction
of costs in all nonessential areas.
After his notable address last night,
the President's attention should be
turned immediately to curtailment of
all nondefense expenditures--including
those recommended since Januarywhich
may be desirable but not absolutely
Our fiscal deterioration is emphasized
by the fact that President Eisenhower
early in January estimated a surplus for
the year which ended June 30. President
Kennedy later in January said the
deficit would be $1.5 billion. Actually
the deficit was nearly $4 billion. There
will be billions more in deficit spending
this year.
Our ability to pay for invincible military
power over the long period ahead
depends upon the action we take to
maintain fiscal solvency. Critical reassessment
of what Federal expenditures
are essential must go hand in hand with

In order to save her territory and the ones she loves, Miranda must look to the ancient past, to the first days of the vampire race, and uncover secrets about the Signets that could change the course of history…

One of the greatest challenges faced by those who operate in the medical travel sector is the lack of reliable and accurate information about the market. Much is said and written about the size of the market, about the exponential growth and how "global healthcare" is going to transform the world. But there is often little hard fact, and very few statistics to support what is claimed.
The Medical Tourism Climate Survey 2014, carried out for the International Medical Travel Journal, canvassed the views of over 280 clinics, hospitals and medical tourism businesses in 60 countries about the current market for medical tourism and their expectations for the future.
The report highlights the continuing widespread optimism about the future of medical tourism, with travel for cosmetic surgery and cancer treatment expected to be the biggest growth areas. The results suggest that not only is the market currently growing but that it will continue to do so for the next five years or more.

On the rooftop of the W Hotel, this lounge features panoramic views of Buckhead, mod surroundings and strong drinks.
An Easy Choice for an Upscale Evening – Whiskey Blue is one of the hidden gems of Buckhead. It's on the rooftop of the W Hotel and has a sexy, breezy, modern vibe. I like to take out of town guests here to show them the classier side of Atlanta. It's a good place for a date as well, since the atmosphere is not really like a club, so you can actually talk and mingle. Later in the evening the DJ goes on and the party vibes really get going (okay, I've been known to start dancing after a few too many cocktails...). There are lots of couches inside and outside, and one patio has another bar and a nice view of Midtown. We usually just hang out at the bar or find open couches, but I have reserved a table with bottle service in the past as a surprise for my fiance's birthday. If you are with people you need to impress I'd go this route; the hostess and waitresses make you feel special, and there's no chance you'll have to move from your couch in case someone else reserves it (this has happened to us a couple times, but we've just gone back to the bar or found other couches). Overall the drinks are good- ask a bartender for a cocktail recommendation if you want something fancy. The crowd is a mix of all types, which is a nice change of pace from the club scene around here. It's worth checking out- if you don't like it, at least there isn't a cover!
A SALUTE for this place! – When we walked up to the entrance, the two guys at the door were so cute that my girlfriends and I couldn
Might I say... – Whiskey Blue is one of the best bars in Atlanta I have been to! Immediately when my girlfriends and I entered the bar, we were greeted by staff: hostess, security, and server. The room was buzzing with life and plenty of good looking people while the DJ spun not only popular top 40's but throughout the night, dub step, house, and 80's music. Neither my girlfriends nor I have ever been to Whiskey Blue before and so decided to grab some drinks from the Atlanta Terrace bar as all the tables had already been booked for the evening. Immediately when we stepped out to the Atlanta Terrace, we couldn't help but look in aw at the amazing view of Downtown Atlanta. After taking a few quick photos, we went up to the bartender and asked her what was a good drink, that we had never been there before. She listed a couple of her favorite drinks on a drink list and *** wait for it*** best part~, while we were looking over the drink list, she gave us a round of complimentary shots, and man o man were they delicious! It was actually so good that I asked to have it as a cocktail. It was a beautiful pastel purple and tasted like a blueberry cosmo, not too sweet, not too tart. I DEFINITELY recommend everyone to try this drink when coming up to Whiskey Blue! Overall, loved the ambiance, even though there wasn't a dance floor, it didn't stop anyone from dancing. I LOVEEEE how there is no smoking inside, the service was exactly what the term entails: good, hospitable, and helpful; and the views stunning. Who wouldn't want to be caught at one of the most amazing bars in the city. The prices are a little high, but you get what pay for in atmosphere, creative cocktails, and hospitality.
Take Notice – Whiskey Blue is just that, you feel as though you have been invited to a private party for exclusive guests only. From the large glass elevator that delivers you to a long corridor to the swank leather couches that fit one of Buckhead
lame – So, I've got nothing against swanky and pretentious(really) but this place tries very hard to be something its not! First of all, no where to park, except for 20$ valet...are you kidding me? Second, drinks are super pricey and not all that interesting or good.Third, food is lousy and over-priced...and lastly, the crowd is not that hip. Very wannabe-ish...I can think of a hundred other bars in atl that have better food, drinks, people. Sure, the patio is nice, but so are a zillion others. Don't waste your time or money!
Love this place!! – I frequent this establishment quite often during the week and on the weekends for quite a few reasons. During the week is a great place to go in for an after dinner or before dinner cocktail. the couches are comfy and chic, and when the weather's nice the patio is the best spot. Also, it's not too crazy and loud in there during the week, which makes it great to bring clients, friends, family. On the weekends is a blast. DJ's are always great, and damn those waitresses are HOT. Usually a great crowd Friday and Saturday, love to stop by and say hi to my favorite waitresses.
Avoid, Avoid, Avoid – Rarely would such a warning be given. However, the rude manner in which most of the staff attempt to extort money by shaming and insulting their customers is cause for this review. The other comments about reservations and being treated badly were experienced by our group. The doorman and his comrades were so impolite that after trying to humiliate us for not reserving an overpriced table, and then not letting some of us in, he physically tapped my arm and loudly asked "did you invite all these people?" (Just because people may look alike, eg. same race, does not mean we know each other). I won't go into detail but will mention that though the bar is fairly beautiful its image is tarnished by the staff's behavior, except for Monique. She was the perfect server and one wonder's why she is there. If you'd like bad treatment, high prices, hotel valet parking prices, and mingling with tourists or those that don't know any better, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, Atlanta has so many other genuine, enjoyable and unique lounges/bars that are truly upscale, any would be better than Whiskey Blue.
The Worst Experience Ever at 4th of July Event – After reviewing the ad on the internet to eat dinner and watch fireworks at the W Hotel's bar Whiskey Blue, I thought - great idea. I WAS WRONG. We walk in the door and we were greeted by the hostess Summer, who rudely told us when we asked where we should sit to have dinner that we either had to buy a booth outside for $1,000 for the evening or pay $400 to sit inside on the couch. The tickets or advertisement never indicated it was standing room only, and my assumption was that if they were serving food, there would at least be a place to sit and eat. There were other bar top tables and 12 chairs in the entire bar and they were all taken. After speaking with the manager, they "allowed" us to sit on a couch inside and was assured we could order food, and if someone purchased the seat, we could finish our meal and would not have to move until we finished eating. That's where it went from bad to worse. We ordered our food and drinks. We got the drinks, however after 2 HOURS, and asking several times, our food still had not come to us. Finally I asked a staffer to see if he could help us and he finally brought our food. It was cold and as bar food goes, it was the worst. We we inquired what the issue was with the food and why it took so long and they blamed the W Hotel and said they had no control because the food came from downstairs. What a poor excuse. When they finally delivered our food, the rude assistant manager dressed in a white dress, came over and told us we had to move because they "sold" the couch we were sitting on as asked us to pick up our food and drinks and move to another couch (remember we were assured we could finish our meal). They kicked out four other people off the couch and we should be happy they accommodated us. I finally agreed to move because I didn't want to make a scene. I invited one of the kicked out couples to squeeze on the couch with us because they rudely were asked to move as well. All in all THE WORST EXPERIENCE I have ever had at any establishment ever. As far as customer service, this place ranks as the worst and Rande Gerber and the W Hotel should be ashamed to have their name attached to such a poor business. Stay away from this place at all costs unless you want to overpay, eat the worst food and deal with the rudest staff in the city.
Velvet Rope Club stinks – This is very reminiscient of clubs in LA...If you want the velevet rope experience, meaning only getting in if you slip the bouncer money or put on airs, than this is the place for you. If you want a more relaxed atmosphere to just have fun, this is not for you. I won't be going back...

Rumor Has It: Bye-bye, BlackBerry -- hello, BBM?
As the days get shorter, the temperature cooler, and there's nothing good to watch on TV, it could only mean one thing: fall is upon us. And that means that Apple is about to announce its next iPhone.
And with an impending announcement comes a bevy of rumors. What size will it be? What shape? And mostly, what color? Sure, we've heard about the gold-colored iPhone, but what about a graphite-colored one? If these leaked pictures are to be believed, you might have some choices to make come September. … Read more

Excellent Audio! However....
These headphones were bought for me for Christmas 2011 after trying them at an Apple Retail Store and finding the sound quality ex These headphones were bought for me for Christmas 2011 after trying them at an Apple Retail Store and finding the sound quality excellent.
They are very good with bass and despite not being listed as such they do good job of filtering out external noise such as being on a tube train or aeroplane in mid flight. The are comfortable but I wouldn't recommend them if A) you have a large head and/or chunky glasses. They can make the sides of your head sore after prolonged wearing. By this I mean awesome.
However there is a MAJOR gripe! This is the quality of the lead. The end which you plug into your device is alright but the end that plugs into your headphones isn't very sturdy. After only six months the sheath had come out the headphone end of the cable and 7 months later, today, the wire has packed up. Not getting all the sound through. It sounds like it's been encoded at low quality.
Bose do not sell the replacement lead with the inline controls and mic for iPhone/iPad and Mac which is a bit much considering the cost! I may have a scour around ebay but before that I will get a soldering iron and try to fix it.
If your purchase this I recommend buying some self amalgamating tape (Maplins) and wrapping it tightly around the headphone end to try and stop the movement.
Otherwise great headphones! If you plan to use them at home in front of your Mac/Pc I recommend getting the spare cable for home use and save the other for when you are out and about!
3/5 - Great audio but shoddy cable and no replacement available! …

Rhode Island's Renewable Energy Standard encourages renewable energy development in Rhode Island and the region. It requires all load-serving entities in the state to supply 14% of their total electricity obligation from "New" renewable energy resources by the end of 2019. In addition, the Renewable Energy Standard requires 2% of supply from "Existing" renewable energy resources beginning in 2007. In 2020, and in each year thereafter, the minimum Renewable Energy Standard established in 2019 must be maintained unless the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission (PUC) determines otherwise. Like the other New England states, Rhode Island utilizes the New England Generation Information System (GIS) to verify compliance and prevent double counting of Renewable Energy Credits.
Narragansett Electric, which does business as National Grid and is the largest electric distribution utility in Rhode Island, is periodically required to file Renewable Energy Standard Procurement Plans. The PUC rejected the company's 2009 Renewable Energy Standard Plan, citing the omission of long-term renewable energy contracts. This implied support for long-term contracts is significant for proposed wind energy projects in the region which may rely on the availability of long-term contracts to achieve financing and operation.
The PUC is also in the process of investigating the adequacy of regional renewable energy supplies to meet the planned Renewable Energy Standard target increase in 2011. A finding that there is, or is reasonably expected to be, an adequate amount of eligible new renewable energy supply denotes that the Renewable Energy Standard targets will increase as currently legislated. A finding of inadequate supply means that the 1% increase planned for 2011 will be delayed by one year. A second PUC adequacy review is required prior to implementing the 1.5% Renewable Energy Standard target increase currently set for 2015.
Under a settlement with Narragansett Electric Company, customers installing renewable energy generators are exempted from Narragansett's backup rates, up to a cumulative 3 MW of capacity. For more information, see the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission report and order, docket number 3617 (PDF 3.1 MB).
The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has opened Docket No. 4069 to develop regulations governing Long-Term Contracting Standards for renewable energy as mandated in P.L. 09-051 (House Bill 5002 Sub A as amended) and 09-053 (Senate Bill 111 Sub A as amended), to be codified as R.I. Gen. Laws § 39-26.1 et seq. The Commission must have the general Rules established by April 1, 2010 and by April 30, 2010 for utility scale projects. For more information, see the text of Law Promulgating Rulemaking (PDF 34 KB) and the Rhode Island PUC docket page (search for number 4069).

Some of the available incentives for projects include tax incentives, public benefits fund supported grants and loans, and net metering. Net metering requires electric utilities to permit customers to reduce their electric bills by generating their own power using small-scale renewable energy systems. The excess power they generate can be fed back to their utilities, actually running their electric meters backwards.
This information was last updated on 7/30/2009.
In November 2008, the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (EDC) re-established the Renewable Energy Fund with new management and new directives. While the EDC is in the process of acting on outstanding Office of Energy Resources commitments, it has been accepting funding applications for all four of their renewable energy related initiatives. The four renewable energy financing initiative areas include:
Cap = $200K per year and per project
Cap = $1Million per year, and $500K per project
Cap = $750K per project
Cap = $250K per year, in aggregate
The Renewable Energy Fund receives approximately $2.4 Million per year from a non-bypassable charge on all Rhode Island ratepayer bills. Under the new rules, the Director has the authority to approve grants and loans up to $50K, with larger disbursements requiring approval by the board of directors. The fund currently has a balance of $4.1 Million, of which $3.2 Million has been committed to aid in the development of the Ocean Special Area Management Plan. The Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation is now accepting applications for funding in all categories.
This information was last updated on 10/1/2009.
Net metering is available to customers of investor-owned utilities for renewable energy systems. The limitations are as follows: 3.5 MW for municipalities and Narragansett Bay Commission, 2.25 MW for certain systems serving municipalities (developed but not owned by cities and towns, sited on land owned by the city or town, and providing power solely to the city or town), and 1.65 MW for all other systems. The aggregate limit on net metering is 2% of peak load, with a minimum of 1 MW reserved for projects with a capacity less than 25 kW. Additional detail can be found in the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission's Final Report and Order on Net Metering (PDF 1.0 MB) Download Adobe Reader.
Rhode Island has a residential renewable energy system tax credit that offers a 25% income tax credit for homeowners who install eligible renewable energy systems on their property.
Certain eligible products and equipment related to renewable energy systems sold in Rhode Island are exempt from the state's sales and use tax. See Renewable Energy Sales Tax Credit for more information.
Rhode Island authorizes municipalities to exempt renewable-energy systems from property taxation.
In the summer of 2008, funding was approved for the development of a Special Area Management Plan covering the offshore waters of Rhode Island. Under the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, preparation of a Special Area Management Plan will expedite an offshore energy development process because it enables permitting of projects within the area covered by the Special Area Management Plan to proceed on the basis of an Environmental Assessment in lieu of an Environmental Impact Statement.
The Special Area Management Plan is being executed by a joint partnership between the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) and the University of Rhode Island. The University of Rhode Island's role is to provide data to the CRMC. CRMC will use the University of Rhode Island's data to execute the Special Area Management Plan's regulatory framework. The Special Area Management Plan process is expected to be completed by 2010.

Narragansett Electric, which serves 99% of the state's non-island customers, has developed a streamlined one-page interconnection application and agreement form for net-metered systems. For more information, see Narragansett's Interconnection Requirements (PDF 533 KB) Download Adobe Reader.
Rhode Island Governor Carcieri announced in January 2006 an initiative, called RIWINDS, but later renamed to Rhode Island Energy Independence, to supply 15% of the state's total electricity demand with wind power. The state funded a study to determine the feasibility of installing as much as 450 nameplate MW of wind power. For more information, read the Rhode Island Winds Phase I: Wind Energy Siting Study.
In late October 2007 the Offshore Wind Stakeholder Group released a presentation (PDF 3.2 MB) on issues they have identified and discussed relative to the development of the state's significant offshore wind energy potential. Topics discussed in the presentation include the development process and timeline, environmental permitting and impacts, aesthetics, interconnection, economics, and a range of potential conflicts with existing uses. The Stakeholder Group has also issued a final report (PDF 90 KB) assessing offshore wind in Rhode Island.
In the spring of 2008, Rhode Island issued a request for proposals (RFP) from private companies to construct and operate an offshore wind farm, to be located in an area south of Block Island, that would generate 1.3 million MWh annually (approximately 15% of the state's electricity needs). In a plan developed by the Governor, the state evaluated bids based on criteria including: total cost to Rhode Island ratepayers, bidder qualifications, and expected in-state economic benefit (including creation of new jobs and tax revenues).
Deepwater Wind was chosen as the preferred developer to construct a Rhode Island offshore wind energy project. Deepwater Wind has since pledged a private investment in the state of approximately $1.5 billion. Deepwater Wind has stated its commitment to constructing a regional manufacturing facility in Quonset that would create up to 800 new jobs.
The exact location of the wind project to be developed by Deepwater Wind will be determined from the results of the Special Area Management Plan permitting process led by the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council in partnership with the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography. The results are expected sometime in 2010.
In the summer of 2008, funding was approved for the development of a Special Area Management Plan covering the offshore waters of Rhode Island.
In April, 2007 the "From Local to Global: the RI Model for Harnessing Wind Power Worldwide" conference was hosted by the Office of Energy Resources, the University of Rhode Island, Roger Williams University, and the Washington County Regional Planning Office.

Case includes
- Product information
- Gazzera Pinot Grigio
- Vintage: 2011
- Fragrant, grapefruity white, brimming with peach and pepper aromatics. There's a real zing of citrus on the palate too, with black pepper, crunchy green apples and a nervy tang of liquorice and minerals at the finish. This is Pinot Grigio with a serious side, and plenty of structure for matching with food.
- About this bottle: Pinot Grigio found fame in northern Italy but this delicious white proves that this sprightly grape variety can be just as at home in the sunny south - in Sicily. Winemakers Carlo Caprarotta and Mattia Filippi combine their skills and knowledge of the local countryside to make it really shine. They plant on soils high in gypsum which bring out this grape's minerality. Carlo and Mattia are keen to represent this territory and all its wine traditions, so they have named their wines 'Gazzera' after an ancient baglio, or rural house, in the district.
