colaandtwinkies See, I hate it when not all the information is released and people get the wrong idea. This initiative has nothing to do with regulating energy. It's to gather enough specific information to help determine if a country-wide alternative energy source plan is...

colaandtwinkies How can the companies that don't have the money to pay the employees they already have hire new employees? One of the main reasons that these jobs and changes are being limited to the government right now is because everyone wants to make sure all these...

colaandtwinkies Like it says in the last paragraph, they don't have a website, but more information is available on Amazon.com - where their shoes are purchasable. :D I'm looking into buying a pair myself!
