To burn our own house
There is a place on Earth that is 100% powered by renewable energy sources – the three atolls of Tokelau.
Previously the island country was powered by shipping in thousands of barrels of diesel fuel. According to PowerSmart, the New Zealand based company that installed the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project, diesel generators were burning around 200 liters of fuel daily on each atoll, meaning more than 2,000 barrels of diesel were used to generate electricity in Tokelau each year.
Energy regulation – Schizophrenia or clash of titans
Energy regulation – it is an interesting fact that most of the energy governing bodies around the globe are responsible both for fossil and renewable energy sources.
According to wikipedia.org – schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by poor emotional responsiveness.
Energy independence – oil, gas, nuclear power, renewable energy, money and time
Taking a glimpse at the debates on energy matters puts a lot of questions. It is obvious that when you look through the eyes of a profit it is easier to keep the status quo. It always is easier to earn money when you steal instead of creating. The simple fact is that when we use natural resources, we steal from the planet and we’re not giving them back. We consume the products we steal and forget about our deeds. But as the human laws are set to protect the community, the natural laws are formed to protect the eternity, and in both cases there is no theft unpunished. The slight difference is in the time factor – the human laws are based on a single person’s life, while natural ones are part of a way longer cycle.
Renewable energy control
Wind energy
The wind energy was the natural power that allowed the humans to exploit the surface of the planet. Sails of the ships were the wind-catchers used for transportation of men and goods over a large water areas but we can’t control the air movements. Sandy’s coming to shore – run or hide!
