With all this Oil Spilling Everywhere, Don’t You Think it’s Time for Alternative Energy?
This latest natural disaster — that is still going on right now…oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico — has really got me thinking about energy usage and alternative forms of energy. Face it people, our government is not going to lift a finger to fix our dependence on oil, even though it’s within their power to get the ball rolling.
Maybe a grassroots movement is in order? Maybe it’s time we take matters into our own hands, and, on an individual basis, say “Enough.” Most of us can’t shut ourselves off from oil and electricity and such all at once, but we can ease our way into it. For example, I’m a computer guy, and I would love to have a laptop that I don’t have to plug into the wall and charge every day. If it ran off of some kind of natural, renewable energy (solar power, wind, MEG, etc.), that would just be cool. Useful, too, as a first step to energy independence.
If you want to get started experimenting with alternative, renewable power in your own life, I recommend starting out with the Earth4Energy training course. If you aren’t familiar with it, it’s a course to teach you how to build your own solar panels and wind turbines so you can generate your own electricity.
Wouldn’t that be handy? Sure, it wouldn’t solve our dependence on oil, but it’s a start. It’s a personal start…a step that you take to help our planet heal. That’s really what this is all about, after all. We are screwing up our home, and it’s about time that we fix it.
