Alternative Energy for the Home

Posted By: Freddy on June 7, 2009 at 11:50 am

The trend toward homes that are powered by alternative energy sources, ranging from wind turbines and solar collection cells to hydrogen fuel cells and biomass gases, is one that needs to continue into the 21st century and beyond.

We have great need of becoming more energy independent, and not having to rely on the supplying of fossil fuels from unstable nations who are often hostile to our countries and our interests. But even beyond this factor, we as individuals need to get “off the grid” and also stop having to be so reliant on government-lobbying giant oil corporations who, while they are not really involved in any covert conspiracy, nevertheless have a stranglehold on people when it comes to heating their homes (and if not through oil, then heat usually supplied by grid-driven electricity, another stranglehold).

As Remi Wilkinson, Senior Analyst with Carbon Free, puts it, inevitably, the growth of distributed generation will lead to the restructuring of the retail electricity market and the generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure.

The power providers may have to diversify their business to make up for revenues lost through household energy micro generation. She is referring to the conclusions by a group of UK analysts, herself included among them, who call themselves Carbon Free.

Carbon Free has been studying the ever-growing trend toward alternative energy-using homes in England and the West. This trend is being driven by ever-more government recommendation and sometimes backing of alternative energy research and development, the rising cost of oil and other fossil fuels, concern about environmental degradation, and desires to be energy independent.

Carbon Free concludes that, assuming traditional energy prices remain at their current level or rise, micro generation (meeting all of one’s home’s energy needs by installing alternative energy technology such as solar panels or wind turbines) will become to home energy supply what the Internet became to home communications and data gathering, and eventually this will have deep effects on the businesses of the existing energy supply companies.

Carbon Free’s analyzes also show that energy companies themselves have jumped in on the game and seek to leverage micro generation to their own advantage for opening up new markets for themselves.

Carbon Free cites the example of electricity companies (in the UK) reporting that they are seriously researching and developing ideas for new geothermal energy facilities, as these companies see geothermal energy production as a highly profitable wave of the future.

Another conclusion of Carbon Free is that solar energy hot water heating technology is an efficient technology for reducing home water heating costs in the long run, although it is initially quite expensive to install. However, solar power is not yet cost-effective for corporations, as they require too much in the way of specialized plumbing to implement solar energy hot water heating.

Lastly, Carbon Free tells us that installing wind turbines is an efficient way of reducing home electricity costs, while also being more independent.

Water Fuel Cells

Posted By: Freddy on July 6, 2008 at 10:13 pm

Water Powered Cars or Hydrogen/Oxygen Powered Cars, using 100% water as fuel is real. By splitting water by electrolysis and creating hydrogen/oxygen gas, you can replace gasoline. We have been taught this is impossible! Engineers, scientists and professors may in fact tell you you’re crazy to believe such non sense. They will also set out to prove you wrong. They base their laws of physics from 1825 thinking: Faraday’s laws.

Arthur C. Clarke explained how there were four stages in the way scientists react to the development of anything of a revolutionary nature.

1) “It’s nonsense,”
2) “It is not important,”
3) “I always said it was a good idea,” and
4) “I thought of it first.”

If all ICE motors (Internal Combustion Engines) were converted to burn hydrogen and oxygen found in water, as fuel to propel our cars, trucks, semi’s etc., we would no longer need gas stations, oil tankers, refineries and war. The only problem would be that the large Oil Corporations would go under and SMOG would leave the planet for good. The Ozone would get healed and we would survive.

If we stopped producing smog, the ozone and global warming and greenhouse effects would go away. The present US administration and DOE (US Dept. of Energy) seems to not want this to happen, they make too much money selling you gas and feeding you the media. Only outlaws drive water powered cars, according to our present laws.

Under Iraq lies the richest, best untouched oil reserves in the world. Formally the location of the “Garden of Eden”, underneath all that sand is the old Tigris / Euphrates River valleys, once lush green vegetation, now rich black oil. Their next strategic step is to take out Iran, because Iran has all the oil pipelines, that they need to finish the world oil conquest

We don’t need the stinking Oil, we need water for Water Fuel Cells & electric cars! A clean and almost unlimited clean energy source.
