Solar Power, Wind Power, Wave Power, Tidal Power & Hydro Power are big business. They are also something that the individual can do for the world. Together we can sort out Peak oil and Global warming, by investing in our children's future with the cleanest greenest renewable alternatives: Solar Power, Wind Power, Wave Power, Tidal Power & Hydro Power to power our electric vehicles.
This if the first time in our history where business and the consumer can be the creator of our energy needs.
Don't let the big Oil, Coal and Nuclear fool you. If they do it will be to the determent of our children.
Up to 7,000 new turbines; 25 gigawatts x 356days = 8900GW of electricity by wind power.
UK current annual usage is ~16 732 gigawatts - GW
SO THIS IS ~50% OF UK ELECTRICITY NEEDS BY WIND ALONE! Add solar panels (example:Open Energy Corporation OEGY or Akeena solar AKNS = easy solar installation ) on as many roofs as possible and add hydro to that and we've sorted out the problem!
MICRO GENERATION OF ENERGY
IF ONLY 1/3 OF THE HOMES IN THE UK installed solar and wind turbines to feed the grid with much needed electricity there would not be an energy crisis. We would then stabilize the cost of electricity to the end user.
"Gordon Brown recently courted controversy by crushing the biggest labour MP rebellion of his premiership to halt plans to amend the energy bill.
The amendment would have guaranteed the introduction of a UK feed-in tariff within a year."
I'm not asking for subsidies for renewables, even though this is probably needed for many to be able to startup faster. I just want premium rates for the electricity I create with solar, wind and hydro power. The government said Global warming is the worst crisis the world has ever had to face. What are they waiting for????????
Everyone knows in 2009-10 (2011latest) solar prices will drop and everyone will be ill advised not to invest. At todays prices your PV system will pay back in ~ 7 years, hot water solar has a ~4 years and WInd pay back is 4 to 6 years. Even cheaper and faster payback if you install the system your self. Solar and wind turbines have a 20 to 30year life, so you will get many years of free energy, increasing the value of your home or business.
Germany is cutting subsidies for those with an income over 100,000 (7% reduction) only because Solar is growing too fast in Germany. It's also to free up money for Offshore wind which is easier for the power companies to control than solar on your roof. I'm not knocking it, we need as much green energy as we can, but it's the citizens that need a fare share of the profits more than making billions for another utility company and a few lucky share holders.
Oil will be $200 so grid parity even with coal is inevitable.
The Oil and coal industry can see their profits dwindle as we get off centralized power to micro-generation.
Solar efficiencies will be 20 to 35% in 2010 and they will not stop there. They have a 60% efficiency potential. With the exponential growth of technology I have no doubt most of us will be creating all the power we need and more individually.
Oil, Coal and Nuclear are lobbing the UK government and they are making some Green U turns. They get less tax if we generate our own power.
Petrol (Gasoline) is 3/4 tax at over 4GBP $8 dollars a gallon in UK.
We are going Air, electric and Hydrogen with our cars. Solar and wind direct to our vehicles.
Folks all I can say is POWER TO THE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW!
Lobby the Government to give us premium pay back for the electricity we create with our Solar, wind and hydro systems. The time has come. We as individuals can fix our energy problem. DO NOT LEAVE IT TO THE OIL COMPANIES AND THE GOVERNMENT TO DO IT. Click here to make a complaint.
As the temperature rises more water vapor is release into the atmosphere from the sea and land. Increased water vapor has the largest global warming effect: holding increasing temperature. Less ice mass, less reflected sun and the greater the heat sink of the sea. As temperature rises more methane releases creating a 23 fold global warming effect against a base Carbon dioxide effect. Carbon dioxide levels are at unprecedented levels, higher than in the last 7 ice ages. Correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature levels have been established to have a similar parallel effect pattern. On top of this, we have increased Nitrous oxide levels with a 296 x global warming effect against base CO2, due to industrial farming fertilizers.
Critical mass will be reached around 2015., At this point nothing we can do with present technology will stop the ever increasing temperature.
We are in the biggest experiment mankind has every created. The earth has it's own cooling mechanism called an Ice age and this happens quickly after global warming.
subsidies for jet fuel and oil companies, no wonder alternative sustainable cleaner energy cost more. This won't be for long, for even with the unfair trading, grid parity will happen by 2010. Imagine if there was an even playing field.
Lobby now, the time has come for micro generation of cleaner energy. Charge your FASTER lower cost electric car at home. Produce Hydrogen from your own solar panels to run your hydrogen car.

The universe is the ultimate balancer.
What heals a cut is very significant.
Staying positive can created your own reality and not facing reality is living in illusion.
Kobashi orders have increase in December 2007 thru May 2008. In fact, you could do me a favour and not order for a while, we need to catch up.
By the conventional definition, a slow-down has to continue for at least
six months of negative growth to be considered a recession.
So the world may not be in a recession and many economies will do okay, but as of May 2008 most are saying the recession is here. Governments usually don't admit there's a recession until it's over.
Positive side: a recession will also slow down global warming by reducing energy consumption.
The main economies of the world have been growing fast since July 1st 2002
and we are overdue for a correction. The correction started July 13th 2007, with bouncing till Dec 2007 and then bouncing down and start up March 10th 2008. Good friday was the day to purchase Solar stocks. To put things into perspective look at this graph: S&P500: click 10y.
A good drop in the market is an equalizer. It gives the poor the ability to to notch up.
An economy where manufacturing goes down and no one is producing, just
virtualizing money, has to eventually collapse. People have to work for something that is real. People now are going to put their money in something that matters. (positive thought)
During an American election their has always been doom and gloom talk.
Much of the market is psychologically moved; rumors and news can bring things up or down.
Giving people loans when the banks know they don't have a good chance of getting their money back can't be good. The sub prime problem is only? 2 to 3% of the 45.5 trillion, the paper will be written down and the assets will eventually bounce back? History shows this to be true. Many companies are betting on this and have injected billions into these problem companies.
Housing prices were becoming too high for the average person to buy, so something had to give.
A 5% jobless rate use to be considered full employment.
One problem, there has been a 20% drop in US manufacturing.
What goes up must come down and what comes down must go up.
This is why the I Ching and Ying and Yang have been valued.
The Bears in the Market are hoping it will go down, because they make money by shorting stocks, called Puts.
The Bulls in the Market want the prices to go up so they can sells stocks higher, called Calls.
When valuation gets high they like to talk it down and when it gets low they like to talk it up.
The problem is Greed and Fear: two things we need to avoid. Balance in all things should be our prime directive, not money.
We at Kobashi hope all Essential oil companies get a fair share.
Baiji (Chinese: 白鱀豚; Pinyin: báijìtún) (Lipotes vexillifer, Lipotes meaning "left behind", vexillifer "flag bearer") was a freshwater dolphin found only in the Yangtze River in China. Nicknamed ""Goddess of the Yangtze" (Simplified Chinese: 长江女神; Traditional Chinese: 長江女神; Pinyin:
Problems & Solutions
Why have you been sent to this page? I would not be selling Essential oils if I didn't believe they are benefiting people. Essential oils are important to my family and friends. Without a healthy environment many may not be here to enjoy essential oils.
The Sun and Sun flares can play an important role in changing our planet's environment. Weather is not always predictable. No matter what is going to happen it is good that we are advancing, learning about our environment, working together to do something, no matter how small, to make Space Ship Earth a better place to live.
Without a stabile environment most people of the planet will go into chaos. I am being driven to do my small part in trying to avoid a possible catastrophic future. Presently Americans are using 25% of the world oil produced. Without imports the USA will run out of oil in three years, with current consumption. Population and Crude Oil prices are climbing.
Even if there wasn't global warming it makes sense to move away from dirty non sustainable fossil fuels and sync into sustainable sources ASAP.
We have been warned. We are Acting immediately.
There isn't one answer that will help us. There must be a holistic approach and action by everyone.
Southern Ocean already losing ability to absorb CO2
Turbulent conditions caused by global warming mean one of the world's largest carbon sinks can no longer store carbon dioxide at the rate humans produce it.More...
Bio fuel, Ethanol is not the answer to our energy problem.
It takes a child to understand we don't have enough land, to grow enough plants, such as Sugarcane, Rapeseed, Canola, Hempseed and Corn to convert to Ethanol to run the ever increasing amount of vehicles.
Bio fuel may not contribute much to Co2, carbon monoxide slightly less and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are slightly Higher.
When you take up all this land for Ethanol where will the food be grown and what rainforest will be left?
It is logical to make more efficient solar, wind, electrical storage and geothermal devices and use what ever solar, wind and geothermal devices we have to produce and store Hydrogen.

Solar, Wind and Fuel cell stocks have a potential for our future. You understand that stocks go up and down and have a potential for an upward or downward trend, due to market influences, country and company competition, borrowing and pay back, currency evaluations, company profile, quarterly reports, order announcements, supply and demand, market manipulation, industrial and consumer sentiment. All these determine risk factor.
The safest strategy is to spread your investment in as many companies as possible in a three to five year term. Play it long and decide the amount of profit you would like to make. More risky, but can increase your shares, watch the Indexes and percentage rise and fall of each stock, sell on the high and buy back on the low, alternatively take out the profit.

I like these companies, because they are not one of the big guys, but they will be.
Fuel Cells 2000 is an activity of the Breakthrough Technologies Institute
Hydrogen has it's place, but I believe Solar, Wind and Hydro Energy conversion to Electricity is a more efficient as a micro generator for the home and vehicles...
The reality is: in order to tackle C02 climate change , all countries must take part. The USA, China, India must take the lead. So far Germany has the lead in Europe. Japan has the lead in Asia.
The weather is going crazy here. Hot one day cold the next hot the next cold the next. June July rain rain and more rain England... 2006 flower came out two weeks early and 2008 4 weeks early. Cherry blossoms in January. February 10th 2008 Peach blossoms begun to appear.
Latest studies: Earth is warming when it should be cooling! The earth is in it's cooling state period due to Orbital shape (eccentricity) = the earth should be cooling.
Oil prices could move permanently over $100 a barrel very soon. This gloomy assessment comes from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA is well-respected within the industry and isn't known for alarmist warnings. In the IEA's 2007 report, it argues that all governments need to make urgent, bold decisions on energy policy or risk massive environmental and energy supply crises, within two decades. Crises and shortages that could spark serious global conflicts. "I am sorry to say this, but we are headed toward really bad days," IEA chief economist Fatih Birol was reported saying. Kobashi has been saying this since 2000. $200 a barrel is not out of the question. This should mean prices related to oil will double.
This is what's coming at us and very fast, so put on your seat belts and watch: A must view Video click here: Utopia or Oblivion by HarryBraun of phoenixprojectfoundation.us
After the credits there is a Newsnights person of the Week. John Lorenzen now 84, was creating his own electricity for his farm back in 1932 from wind; heating his house and barn with solar. In the 70's when there was a gas shortage he used his wind turbine to create hydrogen to run his truck and gets 40mpg.
Notice Germany is not much different in climate than the United Kingdom.
Germany is a world leader under Japan. Let's catch up UK!
Nuclear is definitely not the answer. Accidents, Storage problem, leaking into water table and seas.
I've heard so many times: "Nuclear is safe" How do you know where all the growing cancers come from? Even Oppenheimer the father of the nuclear bomb admitted: There is no safe level of radiation.
Wind energy is more cost effective than Nuclear.
The average cost of generating electricity from onshore wind
is now around 3-4p per kilowatt hour, competitive with new coal (2.5-4.5p) and cheaper than new nuclear (4-7p). Top Myths about Wind Power:
With bio fuels, for oilseed rape biomass production, nitrogenous fertilizers produce 6 tonnes of GHG /tonne of fertilizer, and cause soil to release nitrous oxide. Yet N2O is 296 times more potent than CO2 in it’s global warming effects.
Water vapor actually causes the greatest greenhouse effect, so I'm guessing that as the glaciers melt and temperatures increase there will be more water vapor.
Permfrost is melting releasing methane CH4 23x more greenhouse effect than C02 (click for larger picture)
As the temperature rises more water vapor is release into the atmosphere from the sea and land. Increased water vapor has the largest global warming effect: holding increasing temperature. Less ice mass, less reflected sun and the greater the heat sink of the sea. As temperature rises more methane releases creating a 23 fold global warming effect against a base Carbon dioxide effect. Carbon dioxide levels are at unprecedented levels already. Correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature levels have been established to have a similar parallel effect patterns. On top of this, we have increased Nitrous oxide levels with a 296 x global warming effect against base CO2, due to industrial farming fertilizers.
Critical mass will be reached around 2015., At this point nothing we can do with present technology will stop the ever increasing temperature.
The Earth has it own cooling mechanism
Once Greenland has melted releasing it's fresh water into the North Atlantic Ocean, sea levels will rise 6 meters and the gulf stream will stow down. Not to mention another 6 meters of sea level due to Antarctica melting. Within 10 years from the Gulf stream slowing we will be in the next ICE AGE.
Please note present CO2 levels have never been as high as they are in recorded history, so the story could be worse. Weather as you know is unpredictable.
I THINK WE SHOULD GET OUR ACT TOGETHER (TO STATE IT MILDLY WILL NOT DO.)

The AquaBuOY is a floating buoy structure that converts the kinetic energy of the vertical motion of oncoming waves into clean electricity.
A hybrid will go across the USA on one tank of fuel.
The vehicle's new engine, hailed as 'one of the biggest technological advances of the century', uses air compression to turn the pistons without creating any pollution.

The Air Car will be available in France in 2009. If you think you can go to France and import one to the UK think again. They only will sell locally, as part of their plan to reduce environmental impact.
Investors needed for start up manufacturing facility in the UK, to sell millions of Air cars & have energy independence.
Fisker Automotive will offer consumers an option to purchase a set of solar panels for their roofs or garages where they can generate electricity during the day to charge the car overnight…again cost and emission free.

Contradictions in what I have written have got me thinking: What do the scientists think about this one?
Fact: Water Vapor has the highest Global Warming effect. Higher than CO2 or Methane.
Fact: Hydrogen Cars emissions are Water Vapor.
Now just picture millions of cars emitting water vapour.
Have we not thought this one out fully?
Are we creating a bigger problem in respect to Global warming?
I think this may be a case for the solar wind and wave electricity straight into Electric cars.
Much more efficient.
Why show these fast electric cars? This is to show that it is already possible to please the biggest gear head and reduce CO2 output. The other beauty is when you have your solar and Wind farm you can charge your car at home!
of course lower performance electric cars will be more cost effective, better for the environment and easier to charge with solar panels.
3. On the scale of the lifetime of our current civilization, oil is a finite resource.
Any energy source is finite given the appropriate amount of time. The sun will eventually exhaust its nuclear fuel, but over the course of a human lifetime (or even the human species’ lifetime) solar energy will not be depleted. Oil production will peak within the lifetime of our current civilization. There is no position in the debate (including abiotic oil proponents) which disagrees with this point.
After listening to the conservative presidential debate in New Hampshire on CNN yesterday it is clear which way the cons are going: more Nuclear, more Oil refineries, Ethanol crops and more Coal. Not a mention of Solar, Wind, and Hydrogen. Ethanol fuel took a bashing, in the stocks market, for a good reason. It takes a child to understand we don't have enough land, to grow enough plants, such as Sugarcane, Rapeseed, Canola, Hempseed and Corn to convert to Ethanol to run the ever increasing amount of vehicles.When you take up all this land for Ethanol where will the food be grown and what rain forest will be left?
Solar, Wind, Hydrogen are our cleanest present and near future. Don't think of it as making money. Think of S.W.H. as the future for us on our planet. A true investment for our future. A true investment for our Children. There are a majority of people that know Time is running out. So Stop procrastination, Stop pessimism and support Solar, Wind, And Hydrogen like a charity. Literally millions will die if we don't try to do something now. Let's try to limit the human and environmental damage. All Solar, Wind, And Hydrogen Stocks need our support and guess what we just might make money by doing good.
We have to bring down the cost of Solar, Wind and Hydrogen units. This is the major stumble block for most consumers. So it is good if profits for a company, decrease, level off and increase due end price drops. With price drops more units will be sold and power independence increased.
We make units cheaper buy helping as many companies to succeed. We must tell people politely to see otherwise when they say a wind turbine or solar panel doesn't look good.When I see a solar panel or wind turbine I see hope and that is priceless. Doesn't look good. Tell that to all the people that are looking at their lakes dry up, their animals dying and people starving. Tell that to all the people living in low lands as they are flooded and drowned. It's happening now and it's on the increase. We can do something amazing. Creating energy cleanly and as ethically as possible is one of our greatest achievements.
We are on the brink of one of the greatest revolutions since the car was first invented. It's not transportation that's the problem, it's the fuel that that must be addressed immediately. Don't let the power controllers stop us from energy independence. Our future depends on it. Power to the people: Micro generation is the answer. Don't let the Solar, Wind, and Hydrogen Bashers sway us from our destiny: Energy Independence. After our generation is through solar and wind generators will increase property value. Everyone will want S.W.H. to fuel there power independent vehicles. That's what they are afraid of and that's why they'll bash. continue...
Solar, Wind, Hydrogen are the coolest brands for the new generation. This is our chance. Let's take the bull by the horns and ride in the wind to the sunrise. We will persevere and we will win. Write this in Internet stone. Send this message to the masses.

I didn't mention Hydroelectric or Geothermal power in this article, but should have.
I agree, of course Hydrogen is not a direct energy source. It has been mentioned together with Wind and Solar because it is easy to produce Hydrogen using Wind power, Solar power, Hydro or Geothermal electrical generation.
The faster we stop thinking of cost factors and get Wind power, Solar power, Hydroelectric or Geothermal electrical generation to Hydrogen creation the better. I do prefer plugging a Tesla or other battery vehicle, charge by personal wind, solar or hydro (Water) power; although until charging times are brought down hydrogen hybrids will be preferable to most.
Time is running out and money won't matter. I really don't want to quibble about this. Even, if there wasn't global warming I still want fuel that creates carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, Sulfur dioxide, nuclear waste and other detriments shut down, ASAP. Well at least until the Nanobots can restructure them to more useful molecular structures.

Apocalypse 2012 (I read this book also and even if the end isn't in 2012, it gives one pause to find the answers to many of our world problems. Made me laugh, feel uneasy and only 99% sure the end is not coming.)
FUTURE:
More people will buy electric cars and charge them in minutes with their solar panels and wind turbines.
More vehicle will be hybrid electric-hydrogen cars.
Solar electricity will be create on the Moon and transmitted back to earth via Microwaves.
Vehicles will run on hydrogen and create water that is recycled back to hydrogen.
Efficiency rates of solar panel will reach 60%.
Helium 3 mined from the moon will power our cities.
Vehicles will be driven from static electricity and the zero point field.
"Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe."

II know this sounds impossible, but we do not have a choice. We must learn how to control the tilt of the Earth, it's magnetic's and ionosphere.
The earth is loosing it's magnetic field, is showing changes in it's north south polarity, and at anytime the core could solidify like Mars did. We are on Space Ship Earth spinning on it's axis at 1000 miles per hour, with a core of mostly molten iron (Fe) churning, a balancing magnetic dynamo, against it outer liquid outer core, traveling around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour and the Sun is traveling around our Galaxy the Milky Way at around 135 miles per second (about 486,000 miles per hour). We will be in alignment with the Milky Ways black whole supposedly around 2012. Major sun spot activity could theoretical blast the earth with protons.
Global Warming, Sun activity, Earthquakes,Tornados, Hurricanes, Yellowstone Super Volcano, Volcano's, Tsunami, Floods, Nano technology, Peak Oil, GM, Wars, Starvation, Viruses, Bacteria, this is the planet we live on. Learning to smile in adversity, to live and die in a good way is needed more than ever. It's Time to work together to control our environment. Keep focus on the smile and take action :-)
In half an hour enough of the sun's energy reaches the Earth's surface to meet the World's energy demand for a year.
The sun produces 400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 watts of power. That's 400 x 1012 TW.
The World's average energy consumption is around 14 TW!
Just one square cm of the Sun's surface burns with the brightness of 232,500 candles.
There is more than enough energy; we must only harness it and smile.
What's the point of all this? Everything needs balance to grow, even essential oil plants.
To anyone that is having trouble with this world. (We are routing for your speedy recovery.You can always die, but you can't always live in this magical form.
We need people like you to help us laugh, think and get on with the task at hand.)You might need a comedian to keep you laughing.
I don't see the point of sticking my head in the sand, better to turn it into silicon, ingots and solar panels.
PS: My disconnected political statements are based on fear of what's happening all over the world: argument over rightful status, independence, or prerogative, religious dispute, arrogance, omnipotent megalomania and narcissism, disregard for the feelings and live of others, base on own want and projected fear scenarios, ends justifying the means, lack mentality, basic and complex distrust and I could go on.
I should perhaps follow the old saying there is nothing to fear, but fear itself. Sorry if I exacerbated any of these fears. I do care about people and I'm sure you do also. I don't want to sit on the fence and as you I want everything to move to a positive conclusion. No wars, Stop aids, Cure cancer, Food for all people http://www.wfp.org/, protect and stabilize our environment, education for all, a stable economy, etc, etc
There's positive hope: there are many organizations and people helping people and the environment throughout the world. Much of the problems of the world are being fixed seeing each other as a human just like you.
