Renewable Energy
We have written elsewhere about “Alternative Energy Economy”. In refining this consideration, we might well define it as Renewable Energy. Our entire way of life, including all of our economic projections, is built on the assumption that there will always be more energy when we want it. The fact is, everything we do depends on some form of energy. In order for this to continue, we must develop alternative energy sources. The best and most practical are those sources that are accurately characterized as renewable energy, i.e., those forms of energy that will exist beyond oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear.
While we continue to plod along with the fossil fuels, lets take a look at some of those which are readily available and have the capacity to generate enough power to satisfy all our energy requirements.- Wind
- The US Department of Energy (DOE) has stated that wind is capable of providing about 15 times the current annual global energy demand.
- Solar
- The US Department of Energy (DOE) has indicated that enough electric power for the entire USA could be generated by covering a piece of Nevada, about 100 miles square, with solar power systems.
- Geothermal
- The first geothermal power plant was constructed just after 1900 in Italy. It is still operating today and serving some 2 million people. According to M.I.T., there are over 100 million quads of accessible geothermal energy worldwide. The world only consumes about 400 quads.
- Marine Energy
- The Electric Power Research Institute has estimated the wave energy along the U.S. coastline equal to half the total US consumption of electricity.
Obviously, the difficulty is,
WE’RE NOT DEVELOPING THESE RESOURCES!
Albert Einstein once said, "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity."- "...[Obama] will invest $15 billion a year over the next decade in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, can't be outsourced, and can help end our dependence on Middle East oil."
- The Wall Street Journal- Obama has pledged to spend $150 billion over 10 years to promote wind, solar, biomass, and other renewable energy resources. – Bloomberg
These are tremendous statements. While I certainly hope this plan materializes, we’ll see if it holds water. Whether it becomes real or not, the opportunity that we have today is to build a future that embraces clean, renewable, economical energy. It is an opportunity that will enable better living conditions for the global community while creating the potential for new income, possibly new wealth for those of us who invest in renewable energy. This is an opportunity that may not repeat itself if we don't act on it now.The prudent entrepreneur should be about his research and development now!
Magnetic PowerThe most recent breakthrough is in Magnetic Power Generators. Magnetic Power Generators are an amazing technology, for a few key reasons: They create free energy by harnessing harmless magnetic waves in a frictionless environment;They take very little space and can be conveniently place virtually anyplace in the building;They can help relieve the "weight" of the monthly energy bill ... and when scaled properly, can even eliminate it entirely;They can be built with easily accessible, very affordable materials;Plus, with the right blueprints, even an elementary school kid can build one!
