In this age when oil and gas, nuclear and coal and turf are being pushed as the ‘Only realistic’ source of energy for the future. The real issue is not that solar and wind power can’t supply the current and future energy requirements. It’s that it can’t supply the energy needs in the same way as is currently provided! A centralized, controlled, and profited by, a central authority or business.<\/p>\n
Solar and wind are distributed power sources. Shoe horning solar and wind into the monopoly energy scheme is impractical. This is an example in miniature of what wind energy represents, independence; Handheld windmills<\/a>. Now I’m not claiming that we need to carry iPods with little windmills attached. What this presents is that this device is independent of the power-grid, the tit we are all used to nurse from. <\/p>\n It is not impossible to supply a few hundred houses from wind, wave or solar power. You just can’t do this by pumping this energy into a national grid. If each community were wired into a local wind, solar or wave system, a community could become independent from the energy monopolist.<\/p>\n And that is also why these resources are never developed, monopolies do not see the profit for themselves, and resist competition from any other alternative.<\/p>\n Centralization is control. <\/p>\n Time for us to seek energy independance. Think Solar wind and wave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this age when oil and gas, nuclear and coal and turf are being pushed as the ‘Only realistic’ source of energy for the future.
