<h1>Q. How can I make money from the deregulation of energy?</h1>
<p><a href="http://smarthometimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/iStock_000009790378XSmall.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-52" title="how to make money with energy deregulation" src="http://smarthometimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/iStock_000009790378XSmall-300x300.jpg" alt="how to make money with energy deregulation" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<h2>A. There are many companies that offer an opportunity to make money in the energy business from the deregulation of energy and the sales of energy saving devices.  It&#8217;s up to you to find the best one!</h2>
<p>My name is Brian Firth.  I build and manage sales organizations and worked in the energy industry for the greater part of 2010 and we had assembled <strong>an extremely productive sales force</strong> for the late, AMA or America Approved Energy Services Direct.</p>
<p>Unfortunately through <strong>extremely unprofessional and selfish behavior</strong> from upper management and ownership, the decision was made to sell the company&#8217;s assets to a third party and effectively shut down the company.</p>
<p>That decision was handed down last summer.   Ever since my father, Rick Firth,  <a href="http://JoinRick.com">www.JoinRick.com</a> and I have been looking for a home for our die hard energy soldiers that followed us into the AMA disaster.</p>
<p>Feeling very guilty about the gross loss of time, effort, and money from all our teammates, we&#8217;ve been <strong>extremely careful and cautious</strong> about entering the energy space again.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m very happy to announce, more than a year later, that we feel strongly that we have <strong>finally</strong>, found a company we can feel <strong>confident is doing things the right way and is here for the long haul!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://nrgenergy.com"><strong>NRG Energy</strong></a> is the parent company of the marketing division that we have decided to work with.  <a href="http://my.independencealliance.biz"><strong>Independence Energy Alliance</strong></a> is extremely well funded and has established an exceptionally sound infrastructure and business plan.</p>
<p><a href="http://my.independencealliance.biz"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53" title="logo-header-Independence-energy-alliance" src="http://smarthometimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/logo-header-Independence-energy-alliance.png" alt="Independence-energy-alliance" width="263" height="54" /></a></p>
<p>I would encourage you to poke around the website <a href="http://my.independencealliance.biz/">http://my.independencealliance.biz</a> and do your best to shoot some holes in the company!  We have done our due diligence and everything seams to not only check out but <strong>exceed our expectations</strong> for a company to partner with.</p>
<p>Our Blog:<a href="http://independenceenergyalliance.wordpress.com/"></p>
<p>http://independenceenergyalliance.wordpress.com/</a></p>
<p>Please feel free to call <strong>(954) 933-8232</strong> or email me: Brian {at} BrianFirthConsulting.com with any questions!</p>
<p>AMA teammates, I&#8217;m very sorry about what happened to us over there and I also apologize it took so long to find us a new home.  I think you&#8217;ll come to agree, <strong>it was worth the wait!!! <img src='http://smarthometimes.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

<h2>In many communities all over the world LED is already or is scheduled to become Mandatory!! Why?</h2>
<div><strong>Soooo many reasons to switch to LED lighting!!</strong><br />
CUT YOUR ELECTRIC USAGE UP TO 75%</p>
<p>Longer lasting bulbs are perfect for those hard to reach<br />
fixtures. LED’s are available in fluorescent tubes, recessed<br />
lighting, under cabinet, traditional base and more.</p>
<p><strong>Environmentally Friendly &#8211; Pollution Reduction:</strong></p>
</div>
<div>By using more efficient lighting you will consume less lighting<br />
electricity. Also, since LED lights do not produce any heat you<br />
will require less air conditioning. This is a nice 1-2 punch in<br />
reducing your overall electric consumption. By using less<br />
electricity you will be helping to reduce the overall demand<br />
and associated green house gas emissions from the power<br />
generating plants.</div>
<div><strong>Replace old lights with State-of-the-Art LED Lighting Products<br />
