A world of free energy

There has been a lot of talk over the past couple of decades about energy, oil in particular. The environmentalist wackos want us to regress back to the Dark Ages. Oil men want us to drain every single drop of the Texas Tea from the earth.

Then you have the, how can I put this nicely, IDIOTS talking about Global Warming even though science is proving on a near daily basis that Man Made Global Climate Change is not and cannot happen.

We have President Obama and Democrats and other Liberal groups all over the world telling us that we need to FIND alternatives. We have governments spending the money of hard working people all over the world on researching "alternative" fuels.

Listen up folks, we already have alternative fuels available to us to power nearly every car, truck, home, light bulb, dishwasher, computer, hot water heater or just about anything else you can think of that uses oil, gas, electricity or even hot air.

Thats right, we already have the alternatives. And they are clean alternatives. And NO I am not talking nuclear power. (I am not a huge fan of nuclear power anyway and it really has nothing to do with what to do with the waist. Its just expensive and the danger from our enemies to attack these plants is just too great.)

Now you may be asking what alternatives do we currently have? Good question. The answer is not "clean coal" although it can be in the mix. It is not bio fuels. Why the hell would you want to take food for humans and turn it into fuel? Makes no sense when you have other alternatives that are cleaner and more efficient.

I'm talking about WIND, SOLAR, GEO THERMAL and ... Hydrogen. Yes hydrogen. No hydrogen does not have to be dangerous. No hydrogen does not have to be liquefied at super cold temperatures. No hydrogen does not have to be packed as a "fuel cell" which is rather inefficient and costly.

Lets take a look at wind: We can't build wind turbines because environmentalists say they kill birds or spoil the natural beauty.

Lets take a look at solar: We can't build solar fields because it kills lizards, rare flowers and other animals on the ground and spoils the natural beauty.

Lets take a look at geo thermal: We can't build more geo thermal because they are big and ugly buildings and it is limited to a very small part of the country.

Lets take a look at hydrogen: We can't use hydrogen because we don't have the technology to produce it cheaply or fast.

The above are all myths. Yes MYTHS. First of all, just about every single home in the nation can benefit by putting a small wind turbine and solar panels on their property. Will people be able to get all of their energy needs from these energy producing resources? For most of us probably not, but you could reduce your external energy consumption by up to 80%.

How about geo thermal? Simply put, you can heat and cool your home or building using a geothermal system. Yes it is a little more expensive than a traditional oil or gas heating system but it will pay you back in quick order and you wont need to supplement your heating and cooling needs with external resources. And geo thermal is clean and quiet.

Hydrogen? Well, a company called United Nuclear has come up with a devise that can let you MAKE your own hydrogen from your own water. Check it out here.

Now if a homeowner or building owner were to use all of the above, they could reduce their external energy needs up to 100% and even be able to sell the excess power back to the local power grid. (Imagine if just 25% of US homes and buildings were able to send clean power back over the power grid instead of taking it from that grid)

Why has not the world governments pushed for this kind of evironmentaly sound energy production? Because all of those above alternatives do not produce a drop of green house gas. That means they cannot regulate, tax and control it.

Come on people, use your head now. We have cars that run on compressed air engines. We have the ability to make our homes mini power plants and not put a lick of green house gas in the air. We have the ability to affordability turn every gas car and truck into a hydrogen vehicle. Again, producing not a lick of green house gas.

So why does our government and other governments and the United Nations ignore all of this? It all has to do with money and control. For crying out loud, Saudi Arabia is now talking about needing financial assistance from the rest of the world when oil stops being the main source of energy production.

Still think this is not about control and money? Think about it, if we had free or nearly free, endless, clean energy would their be a need for so much regulation, taxation and reduction? No. Still don't think its about control and money? You need to re-read this post then.

Does Obama really want to save the environment

>

The environment. That is one of the big topics on just about everyone's tongue these days. We know about the Global Warming hoax now. It is irrefutable. It is so irrefutable that it is no longer called Global Warming, it's called Man-Made Global Climate Change.


That is bad enough to deal with, but now we have President-elect Obama talking about “green” technology taking the place of oil and other fossil fuels for our energy needs. It is in his “bail-out” plan for the nation.


The problem is that Obama is willing to reduce our choices while not really improving technology for alternative fuels and energy. There is not much in there to reduce the red tape in getting alternative sources of energy on the grid. We still have environmental crap on the books that keeps even a windmill from being built.


Speaking of windmills, when it comes to choices for alternative sources of energy, we already have a ton of them. Now many of these alternatives are rather pricey on the front end, we do have those choices. Have you noticed the lack of promotion of these current and proven technologies by our government? Its because they don't do anything to “halt” the evil automobile.


Yes, you have all kinds of alternative choices for energy for your home and business. Lets see, there is geo-thermal heating for home and business. Yes, it is a proven method of heating and cooling a home and business. But do you hear our government promoting such heating and cooling systems? Now I wonder why that is.


Solar systems have come way down in cost and have gone way up in efficiency. They are still expensive to install but the payback is real, fast and significant. But do you see our government touting these systems or even using them in government buildings? No. Now why is that?


Windmills are highly efficient, well at least ultra clean ways to generate energy. So why is our government blocking wind farms from coast to coast? Oh sure, they can be noisy but no one said these farms had to be built near residences or businesses. There are a lot of wind farms in the planning stages to be located in remote areas and off shore but our government and environmental wackos are blocking them and keeping them from being built. Now why is that?


Hydro and geo energy plants are being blocked as well. We are more concerned about the fish than we are about energy. Geo energy is not viable in most parts of the country but in the areas that it is, new plants are being blocked by environmental groups. Trust me, the earth is not going to mind if we take a little of its heat and produce energy from it. But these wackos think we will harm the environment with these plants.


Instead we have our government touting things like ethanol. A fuel that has been proven to lower gas mileage in cars and trucks. Not to mention it cost a ton to produce and it takes valuable food sources off our tables and drives up the cost of corn and other food stuffs. How does that make sense?


Our government also want to ban incandescent light bulbs. True, fluorescent and other types of bulbs are more efficient than incandescent but what happened to choice? Not to mention if we actually implemented at least part of the Pickens Plan, we would take a lot of pressure off the environment but again we have government and environmental groups to thank for blocking much of this plan.


If our government was serious about conserving energy and coming up with alternatives, then why do they not use current and viable alternatives in government buildings now? Why do they not promote these alternatives by buying these green alternatives to be used by government employees? Do you see a fleet of of natural gas powered or electric powered cars in our government fleets? In fact, why don't we have a fleet of Prius cars in our government lots?


Because this environmental push has nothing to do with actually saving the environment or saving you or I money on energy. It has everything to do with controlling you and me and reducing our freedom. Seriously. When you have sources of energy that are clean and renewable already on the books and in use, why not promote them and use them? Think about it.


Then when Obama and his band of minions talk about saving the environment, ask them why we are not using any of these alternatives already. Ask them why they don't promote the use of such alternatives already. Ask them if they really want us to be energy independent or if they are just blowing smoke and making laws to control you and me. I think you will find it really is the later. Think about it.
