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.

A world of free energy

Wind Farms are Environmentalist Worst Nightmare
Al Gore tells scares us about Global Warming via his movie full of lies called and Inconvenient Truth. Should be titled a Convenient Lie. But I digress. Basically, what Mr. Gore and his liberal environmentalist wackos tell us is that oil and other fossil fuels are bad. They are bad for man, bad for animals, bad for the weather, bad for mother earth period.
So why is it that Al Gore has a huge monthly electric bill for his mansion? Again I digress. The big question is, when we come up with ways to reduce or replace our oil consumption to produce power, why is it those same environmentalist wackos who stand in the way?
Case in point here is in Massachusetts. You have a company called Cape Wind that wants to build a wind farm. Yes, I said a wind farm. Now what is a wind farm you must be asking. It is a field of giant modern windmills that produce clean electricity from the wind. Obviously the wind is a renewable and clean source of energy.
Windmills have a nearly zero carbon foot print. The only pollution that a windmill produces is when it is manufactured. But now that we have a lot of these windmills in operation all across the globe, it is safe to say they can be produced with power generated from these windmills.
Cape Wind wants to put up a field of windmills in the Nantucket Sound. There are also proposals to build wind farms in Buzzards Bay and other areas off the coast of Mass including in sanctuaries. But of course there are those who don't want the wind farms simply because they think they are ugly or they may even kill birds.
These people have formed anti wind mill organizations to keep wind mills from being built. These are the same people who say we need to reduce our dependency on oil. Well, this wind farm was proposed a long time ago. This company is still trying to get these clean energy producing factories up and running.
Why is it that they (Cape Wind) is trying so hard? Because it is now profitable and viable. I have always said when something can be profitable more and more people will want to improve it and make it better and more available. But now that this once hippie and off the grid technology has gone mainstream, it is no longer fashionable for those who cloak themselves in self righteous environmentalism.
If the masses can use something that was once only used by off the grid hippies then it can no longer be any good and it must be opposed at all cost. No matter what good to humanity or the planet this thing is. If the masses can use it and a profit can be made on it, then they will oppose it.
Are these the people you want dictating energy or any other policy? Talk about hypocrites. Al Gore burns electricity to the tune of over $30,000 a year and still gets a Nobel Prize for his work of fiction on Global Warming.
I think you would do well to just jut a few windmills on your own property. But wait, I am sure an environmentalist wacko neighbor will go to court to prevent you from being good steward of your property and the earth.
Stumble It!
