Buoy 19 MW – sufficient to fulfill the energy needs of approximately 10,000 homes.
The government just said by 2050 we need 90% of our energy from renewable's.
Now they need to help the most valuable resource England has, WIND & WAVE ENERGY.
England's ships once sailed the 7 Seas; NOW is the time to harness that energy again!
EXPECT FLOODS: England ,the month of July2009 rain and cold weather : My theory: Recession = less consumption = less production = fakeout. The Ice caps are melting in lieu of this.
Google's CEO Eric Schmidt says, we can save 5.5 trillion USD; create cheaper electricity and a million jobs by 2030, by going green energy.
Aug 2008 Governmental leaders say the biggest threats to humans are global warming and energy deficiencies, but the one thing that could make a difference is not being implemented. Give us, the people, equal payback rates for the electricity we produce. Make it easier to put up Wind and PV panels. This would sort out our problem in the shortest time.
"The rates of generation tariff for the first year of feed-in tariffs (2010-2011) will be as follows and will stay the same for the life of the tariff.
Hydro: 17p for installations up to 10kW; 12p for 10-100kW; 8.5p for 100kW-1MW; 4.5p for 1-5MW
Solar photovoltaic panels: 36.5p for installations of less than 4kW retrofitted onto an existing building (31p if it is on new build); 31p for 4-10kW; 28p for 10-100kW; 26p for 100kW-5MW.
Wind: 30.5p for installations with a capacity of less than 1.5kW; 23p for 1.5-15kW; 20.5p for 15-50kW; 18p for 50-250kW; 16p for 250-500kW; 4.5p for 500kW-5MW." Yougen can help you get started
Solar Power & Wind Power 'Home-made' energy in UK alone

I'm not crazy about everything UK Labour government has done, but they have done good deeds.
The NHS is a good system.
The Schools that I have seen are very good.
I 'm amazed at how many freebies people get (rent and upgrading their homes, subsidizing energy bills and much more.)
The labour government does seem to be too centralized and seems like it is creating a centralized communist like government?
Policies don't seem to be going through a democratic process?
Trying to do it all themselves not trusting and not allocating to the people could dilute and demoralize.
ID cards that are a waste of money.
Holding personal DNA information: Do you want to live in a society where everyone is distrusted and suspect???
Not trusting teachers better judgement, paper work instead of teaching?
Paper madness for police, when they could be doing what they need to do, as they know right from wrong, just as well as the government?
Checks and balances are good, but paranoia is not balanced.
Pushing booze ( I remember watching the parliament channel and when Gordon Brown said with such gusto and Bravado That he wasn't raising the price of tax on a pint of beer and they cheered, I was shocked at the enthusiasm, I also bought at auction a bottle of Scotch signed by the Prime Minister) which is just as bad as marijuana, fire good independent scientist because they don't like the truth? No wonder this place is known as boozing Britain?
feeding the banks so they can gamble our hard earned taxes. Bring back the Glass-Steagall Act.
(like, MPs double standard: claiming for all kinds of expenses on our taxes. Fair enough, the other parties have members doing the same.)?
focusing on the witch hunt of MPs does not stimulate the economy?
Iraq?
42 day detention? What does this have to do with all those that died for democracy?
reversing laws just to look like they are doing something?
choosing EDF nuclear over cleaner and cheaper green alternatives!
10p tax?
allowing the utility companies to charge some of the highest rates in Europe?
selling the gold at discount and claiming to be knowledgeable of economics?
not telling the people that 2000 VS 2007 double top was certainly going to sell off the market. This was the opportunity the top 2% and any money market manager could have told you.)?
companies are leaving Britain and last to get out of recession?
Focus should be on creating jobs through renewable s.
I like the fact that Tony Blair played Rock & Roll, but head of Europe? Smiling is good for your immune system, but a defense for creating an illegal war with Bush? Better luck next time doing the Right & Good. When will we learn that only love will get us out of the mess we create; me included.
Gordon Brown is a human like you or I; I believe he means well and I think the media is not helpful in many ways: Politics is complicated.
The Murdoch/Cameron mix I believe may be a very bad move? Worse yet the human made climate change deniers within the party.
If a Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat or Green party member has good policies vote for them. We must look closely at the policies and actions of the representative and if the partyis being guided in democracy for the majority.
I don't have all the answers; I am trying to survive like everyone else.
The survival of the human race IMHO will depend on: (
Love each other. + Sustainable Energy. + Inhabit the stars.)
Remember no government is perfect for everyone, but those that serve the majority and are the fairest are the best.. More on the Economy...
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 renewable's, 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 today's 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. I believe Gordon Brown's brother working for EDF may be a conflict of interest. (It's well known the England has more wind than most other countries, Wind power is cheaper than Nuclear in the long run and easier to mantain with no ill side effects.) Expect more propaganda.
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!
Clean up our air and stop the Napoleonic energy system. It will only milk and/or destroy us.
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 information on this page has been added in different time frames, but can still be relevant to the future. The stock market is cyclical and history does repeat itself.
By the conventional definition, a slow-down has to continue for at least
six months of negative growth to be considered a recession.
So much of the world may 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.
I would say as of Sept 2008 we are going into recession.
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.
(October 13, 2008
Unfortunately Hedge fund, market money managers will sell as soon as this rally is exhausted. There is still a very good possibility that the S&P will reach 700 and if it goes lower we will go into a depression.
"Let me make myself perfectly clear about the long term out look.....
I think if prices break the 820 range we should see the 770 range and prices could hold on the short term....
Long term I think this move breaks to the downside and goes to 380-400 range.....Of course prices must break the important swing low of 770...... Gannfann
Since we have had prices move quickly and we have been oversold we must have a rally.... We have hit a major support retracement and recovered so prices should continue, but the trend will break again to the downside.... " Gannfann )
The only reason why I'm telling you this is so you don't loose your hard earned money. There are many sharks out there and you should be prepared and know the reality:
Gap up or down, resistance and support, when time and price breaks prior time and price. DayTtraders (time frames daily to the 5 min and peak (peek) at the 2 and 1 minute), suggest "playing" drawing bottom and top lines to wedge. ANy trend lines of support and resistance in perspective with horizontal lines of support and resistance, in conjunction with volume and momentum. See where the diamonds are and watch the news.
It's the weekly time frame in the months of Nov -Dec 2009 that we have to be concerned with when the Bear crashes the Market once again to retest 666 on the S&P500. With 10.2% unemployment in USA and growing, we should understand that this is higher than the 1931 unemployment figure of 8.7%.
Terms & Conds: I understand if you play the
market you have decided to go to sea at free will. Think about it, it's money; companies don't have to join the market. They do it to get leverage. It's still about money and all the ceo's and people within the companies can go sailing too. So as I see it, I go fishing and then I give the fish to a company I believes product is good by buying it. (SOLAR, WiND, Wave My own personal power station.)
The risk reward is as it is. No one is forcing me or any other person or company to play this game. It is a lottery with money factors that can give you less risk than Vegas or the lottery.
The only problem I see is who is creating the food, clothing and shelter when too many people do this?
THE ONLY PROBLEM I SEE IS WHO IS CREATING THE FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER WHEN TOO MANY PEOPLE DO THIS?
Oct 2008 A good drop in the market is an equalizer. It gives the poor the ability to to notch up, if they have any cash to purchase shares that are oversold. It is unfortunately also a time when the top 2% of the wealth buy up assets (Companies, Banks, Stocks, Your home and take more control.
Governments are now borrowing money with tax payers money to buy percentages of banks and insurance companies to sure up against the storm ahead. I guess this is why two of the companies in Bill gates fund are Inflation Linked Opportunities and Income Funds.
The governments are betting they can avoid a depression with a recession, most will say they don't have any other choice if they want to keep the present system going.
What the truth is in this virtual and solid world hybrid I hope will come out, but do we really want to know. Maybe living in the Matrix is the better; what you know can you deal with it?
Of course a hybrid system that works for the majority can only be the best we can do.
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.
Why Bear Stearns was picked to bailout over Lehman Brothers must be put under careful scrutiny. LEH had stock in many alternatives to oil. Iceland also was in the forefront of the green movement. Follow the money and perhaps their liquidity was debased by those that want this movement slowed 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.
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)
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.
Lessons for the uninitiated:
The Bears in the Market are hoping it will go down, because they make money by shorting stocks, called Puts and many people are bottom fishers.
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 Hedge funds and Market managers don't care if it goes up or down. It's just numbers and they actually can make more on the downside. Most people can't get their head around the fact that a bear market is setup to be a mirror to a bull market, thus the term hedge. It's hard for most to do the emotion reverse psychology needed to survive in the present day market. It is not set up for the average persons buy and hold mentality. Unfortunately banks tie up honest people pensions and insurance for their future in this unstable market. If you are thinking about time you need to know when to get in and when to get out. Unfortunately this doesn't help the average person that wants to help a company they believe in and expect to get a fair return for their money invested. Any system that expects higher than fair company value from their investment is a boom and bust economy.
Solar, Wind, Wave 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 was 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 falls in each stock., Watch the 5day VWAP (Volume weighted Averge Price), 8, 20, 50 100 and 200MA (Moving averages): when low number cross higher or lower in different time frames, 5 min, 10min, 15min, 30min, Daily, Weekly, Sell on the high and buy back on the low,
or do like Warren Buffet, know your company, buy undervalued companies, wait till your happy with the return and sell.
Alternatively take out the profit and invest in your own company; get a job. Help family, friends and your community and just don't write blogs like this. Even though I believe this page will help some that can figure it out.
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.

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.

Don't let dropping Oil price fool you, nothing has changed. We still need to move to micro generated renewable sources of energy ASAP. Solar and Wind will help bring down the cost of fossil fuel energy.
Friday 13th 2009 The International Energy Agency (IEA) released its annual World Energy Outlook
Quotes from:
The 120m figure always was nonsense but even today's number is much higher than can be justified and the IEA knows this. . .
Many inside the organisation believe that maintaining oil supplies at even 90m to 95m barrels a day would be impossible but there are fears that panic could spread on the financial markets if the figures were brought down further. And the Americans fear the end of oil supremacy because it would threaten their power over access to oil resources. . .
We have [already] entered the 'peak oil' zone. I think that the situation is really bad. . .
. . . imperative not to anger the Americans. . .
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.

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:
If you are Vegan or Vegetarian: you still contributed to global warming by methane through rice production; soy contributes to the destruction of the rain forest.
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.
Permafrost 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.

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.
Once out on the motorway, the lightweight vehicle can reach 110kph (68mph).
The first car to go into production using the new technology is the MiniCAT.
The £5,500 fibreglass car will cost just £1 to charge up for eight hours of city driving or to cover 200km (124miles).
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.
Invest in Solar and wind stocks, but not the oil companies who are now turning to Solar and Wind. Stop investment into the Fossil fuel companies, as they will only drill somewhere else and prolong the problem.
Invest in the small companies who are pure Solar and Wind, like
ESLR (Evergreen Solar) September 2008: Lehman Brothers was linked to ESLR but not helped by government ,the greatest single drop in the whole stock market and economy followed.
I still stand by my decision in 2006:
I sold my Apple stock at USD72 and purchased ESLR even though I had a feeling Apple would go to USD100. Let's face it we have to do what ever we can immediately. I still believe ESLR is a company to help us free ourselves from big oil cartel domination.

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.
Lightning electric carWhy 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.
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. The_Singularity_is_Near (Kurzweil also mentions stocks in his book.)
Great book showing our technological past and most probable future. Nanorobotics
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.)
Interesting to note I placed the above book and most of the information on this page in 2007 and now the movie 2012 has most of what is on this page in it.
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."
Nikola Tesla —"Experiments With Alternate Currents Of High Potential And High Frequency" (February 1892)
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 hole 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, Food Crisis 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. kind regards,Scott Ballard
