Copy,Paste,and Send to everyone you know.

America is sitting on an amazing untapped wind resource,the wind corridor that stretches from Texas to North Dakota...our population is stabilized but our agricultural lands are devastated from decades of food exports.

with bio-char production as dump load regulation,in conjunction with power storage solutions the wind power capacity can go in at an astounding rate...the wind fixes the soil ,the soil sequesters the carbon and gives life......our entire world is unsustainable as is, and the changes required don't stop there...what will it take to get you out of your arm chair?

Mr.Pickens is out of his....and i'm sure as hell not going to tell him to sit down.

Pushing the bounds??
I am interested in building a passive greenhouse. Anyone have experience? I want to take this off line but Passive is passive.

An electric economy is really the only one that is sustainable. All other resources either continue adding carbon into the atmosphere or they stay with in the current yearly carbon cycle. Neither of which can we continue. Carbon Sequestration is in our future. In has to be removed from the gas bubble that circles the globe in massive amounts. Only through a electric economy can this be accomplished. Stop adding carbon. Start removing it.

When I first heard that statement, "The opposite of War is not Peace... it's Creation," and its meaning and ramifications caught hold of me, I was stunned at how profound it was. Then, over the next few days and months, the potentials sank in, and I began to truly grasp how this philosophy was physics, a fundamental law that we must not violate. Sounds pretty out there? Think about this: When we simply STOP War, we're at Peace. But Peace doesn't counteract the destruction, doesn't heal or resolve anything. That takes war's opposite. That takes Creation - the active, willful and intentional making of positive changes in the world.

Every stroke of a combustion engine is a small explosion - a little destructive bomb . Yes, certainly, stopping from those little explosions would be an improvement, but then how would people live? What would our lives become without the tools and technologies? And so, you see, it's not enough to simply stop using fossil fuels, to stop exploding all of those billions of little bombs every day. We need to CREATE, and that Creating must be non-destructive. We need to get rid of the combustion engine, distance ourselves from it until it is as archaic as a stone wheel.

We have the technology for a great many of these changes, and I'm certain we have the ingenuity to Create the others needed. The future I see has us harnessing the energy of the wind, the waves, and the sun in passive fashion, doing no harm while enjoying very inexpensive electricity for appliances, tools, light, heat, cooling and transportation.

Imagine being able to drive across the country on $30 worth of electricity. Does that sound far-fetched to you? It doesn't need to be. It's not. We just need to get around to making that happen. I hope you'll join me as we figure out how to create that future.
