Here additions to the press conference that President Obama and Prime Minister Balkenende gave today.
The President says that the Dutch have taken strides on issues of clean energy.
All that is done is commenting on a Dutch blog
Carwoman.nl
about electric and hybride cars: Driving in the city on electricity is inexpensive, because when using the break, energy is returned to the batteries. Cars that entirely ride on electricity, so without fuel, have less power and in general are smaller. By lacking a fuel motor, the range is smaller. Customers want to bridge large distances and need space for children and luggage. So energy efficient cars need to have both an electric and a fuel motor. These cars are suited for people that have to be in the city and/or living at the country side and/or want to enjoy weekend tours and/or holiday travel.
Another issue is that these cars are so silent, that they are dangerous to pedestrians and bikers that do not take visual notice.
The President mentioned the recovery act and generating enough good jobs that pay good wages is needed to keep up with population growth. Michigans endured a battered state for years leading up to this recession. The Prime minister talked about innovation ('we can do things in another way') in the economic sphere and also in health issues.
This is discussed July 9th with journalist Richard Quest of CNN International in London. A spasmodic retention of a marriage-only family system leads to complacency, unilateral toll of laborers and personal depressions. Victims place a drag on the health care system. Governance means that communities have to adapt to people with energetic lifestyles. Parents that experience more loves in their lives are not that bad, things are not black and white. Scientists, developpers, innovators, creative people with a large social infrastructure having strong involvements, often maintain warm relations with colleges and friends. Protecting rural families is not enough to generate social and economic transitions. Flexibility and adaptability to earthly chances will arise from new human capital notions. Improvements in the education system in cities and rural areas as well, will give attention to divorced children and more chances to boys. Revamping the upbringing and education system is critical to model growth. The private sector is an issue of corporate social responsibility.
Al Gore did some
statements
tuesday July 7th in Oxford, for the Smith school world forum on enterprise and the environment. While waiting for him to proceed in neuroscience theory, in the netherlands some work is underway developing a new accounting scheme for the balance of social economic and sustainable growth. Household statistics and measures for masculine upbringing are needed. An urgent quest is for co-parenting so that children are brought up by both parents after a divorce. Both parents and children needs protection. That will give breathing space for a generation of people that brought the world internet communications, free music video, mobility and divorced children. Human fysical arts, health industry and permanent education at the workplace will benefit.
There were reflections last week about the insurance statistics needed, together with an associate working in the dutch census bureau.
The Prime minister emphasizes that freedom and human rights are common responsibilities worldwide. The President argued that vulnerabilities to terrorist attack in Europe are at least as high as they are here in the United States.
In May a discussion was opened also in Europe about the human right to communicate freely instead of having a family filter and adult supervison. Anti-terror measures are taken for business people in Amsterdam. They now can safely take a taxi ride. In addition the insurance of legal aid with family law practices regarding fatherhood after divorce is needed. I promise to come back later on the issue of protecting merchant shipping in the Gulf of Aden by the Dutch marine.

It is not clear what the President and the Prime minister decided on 'the process of the issue of Guantanamo bay'. I'm sure prime minister Wouter Bos wants to state that the Netherlands is able to gaol several prisoners from Quantanamo bay. The village of Veenhuizen (province of Drenthe, south of Groningen) not only houses the Dutch national prison museum, but also has an overabundance of empty cells.
