The Gulf Oil spill will certainly demand Exxon rewrite this years document on the cost of energy which already has Fossil fuels coming in as the second most costly form of energy. Leaving only solar to be more costly than gasoline. Interestingly I found that Wind energy was on par with Coal Energy production. Even as a renewable energy consultant I assumed that Coal was in the cheapest hands down. Well I was please to find that in fact it wasn't as cheap as I had initially thought. Even with the skewed numbers trying to promote fossil fuels and carbon technology as the answer to the future of our energy production I was please with where the current costs of Renewable Energy now lay in the over all scheme of things. Once Energy Speculators address the public in including the health effects and environmental hazards of energy production into the cost of energy production than one will see Renewable energy as the only viable solution to the future of energy production throughout the world. For far too long we have lived in ignorance to the lasting effects our addiction to the light bulb. Sure it seemed innocent enough when it started but it quickly infested every household in the modern world with what was essentially an extension cord that plugged you into the grid and a hand your pocket book. With the recent disaster that is continuing to unfold in the Gulf I ask you what are you willing to give up for a cheap tank of gas? Would you be willing to store unused crude in your back yard? Or would you be willing to offer up your neighborhood to a refinery that of which are known to cause a plethora of health issues. Maybe you would rather be in charge of killing a pod of dolphins or possible smash a few nests of sea turtle eggs, all in the good name of cheap gas. I am not however and demand a response that will never let this happen again. And the only answer I can logically come up with is a moratorium or deadline on the use of fossil fuels. The ultimate strike on a lifestyle that brought one of the most turbulent era's in the history of Humanity. We can sit back and idly wait for the cliche of a lifetime in which hope for Paradigm shift in consciousness. I am calling for people to be honest about the benefits of making the crucial sacrifice needed to propel the US into the future of humanity. We aren't giving humanity a fair value on the cost of cheap fossil fuels when decimate one of the worlds largest wetlands for 20+ years. Ending a way of life for yet another great american idol the Fishermen of the Gulf Coast. All I am asking is for you to make the decision to change our planet one person at a time. You don't have to save everyone just make the choice for yourself. If you are already making a choice that reduces your impact and carbon footprint than give yourself a pat on the back and understand that you are making a difference. There are two predominant emotions that direct our day to day encounters and direction in life Fear and Love. The real Fear here should be Fearing the consequences of letting the powers that be mandate our futures through secret meetings and positioning of global business leaders to control Energy Futures. Solar Power and Renewable energies should be cherished and we should do our part in ensuring that our energy futures are localized and not centralized by government or big business. With incentives and Federal Support now we have an opportunity to place America on the forefront of Renewable energies throughout the world. We are already leaders among developing the most efficient solar systems the world has seen but also the cheapest. We also have the most efficient and versatile Wind Turbines on the market. You have the opportunity now to lower energy consumption and offset huge portions of your energy with Renewable Technologies. For the large majority of us this can break the chains that energy companies have shackled us with over the past 100 years. Do your part to help support the localization of your energy sources and power production. I have lived without these shackles and I will say it is the most empowering things that I have done in my adult life. We can all Love the idea of freeing ourselves with one less bill a month. If we let fear dictate our emotions and views we can never really look at anything with an unbiased approach. Pointing fingers and calling names really hasn’t gotten us anywhere. There are a lot of people on this site that seam to think “Global Warming” is a real issue. Whether you believe this to all be a Global Conspiracy to control monetary exchanges or actually believe in Global Climate change like I do doesn’t matter. If our leadership can’t secure Transparency in any of the policy administrated on the people of our United States than “We the People” can not truly say we are Free. Whether it’s policies of the WHO, Federal Reserve or the Copenhagen Agreement we the people deserve an unadulterated front row seat to this decision making process. Having our policies dictated behind closed doors is not a democracy it is a Dictatorship at best. As defined in this article this is definitely Crony Capitalism however the Cronies are both Right and Left and not just the Democrats or some world Al Gore conspiracy. Some of the biggest winners in the Carbon Exchange will be big business, money markets as well as Energy Companies utilizing dirty 20th century technology to generate electricity. If you doubt for a second that these opportunities are available to you let me help you find solutions that are available to you. I offer free analysis to anyone that would like to evaluate a feasibility and financial outlooks of implementing these technologies for residential or commercial ventures. The technology and resources to get clean energy is abundant and virtually anyone whether your poor or rich can take advantage of renewable energy and hedge against energy futures. |
