In the same week we read of the terrible damage that oil production is doing to our world, and at the same time as the world's worst economic recession, we see hope: renewable energy. Here are some articles. Toxicologists warn that waters that look clear of oil can be deceiving Photos of the disaster. Also take a look at BP Oil Spill on Youtube for an interesting view of the oil spill. Renewable Energy at the Tipping Point "Over the past two years, the United States and Europe have both added more power capacity from renewables than from coal, gas, and nuclear combined, according to the report. Worldwide, renewables accounted for one-third of the new generating capacity added. Renewable energy, including hydropower, now provides 18 percent of total net electricity generation worldwide. Meanwhile, biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel are making inroads in the transportation fuels market and are now equal to about 5 percent of world gasoline production. And in China, ...

I've been involved in various causes for decades. A few people take it upon themselves to make their world a better place. I've decided that "Apathetic people do what they like because one day the (or perhaps a) Messiah will come and save them." Do you agree with me? Do you agree that each of us has a piece of God inside us and therefore we have shared responsibilities to take care of our world?

My new sales and energy management web site is up and running. Take a look at http://www.mypowerstation.biz/ My Power Station concerns internal (personal) and external (relationships, electricity) energy. Both of these types of energy are renewable, ie can and should be renewed. Renewed implies a time limit. The time limit should be reasonably short, eg 1 month to 10 years. Fossil fuel energies are "renewable" in the sense that it takes millions of years for trees to become coal and oil, but this stored energy is being released far too quickly into our atmosphere and the 20th Century Process is causing environmental destruction. We need a new process for the 21st Century. We don't want our children to think of us as living in The Age of Stupid. "Why didn't we save ourselves when we had the chance" is the question asked in the video. I believe we live in The Age of Procrastination. We don't understand something so we leave it for someone else. Or w...

Oil spills of the magnitude of the one in the Gulf don't just happen. A combination or series of errors and misjudgements leads to them. One could say that 100 years ago when we had electric cars before petrol cars that we should have stayed with electric cars, but we didn't. And recently BP tried to save money and at the same time drilled into pressures that have never been dealt with before and the latest oil spill is the result. Here's a short video that shows what might be going on. It concerns a coffee spill and 5.4 million people have watched it already. The latest BP oil slick isn't the only one in the Gulf and there are probably loads more elsewhere. Here is one that was toppled by Hurricane Ivan 6 years ago. It still leaks today to make a plume 10 miles long. If BP and the USA government and current technology can't control this, then what about the latest debacle? A huge undersea slick and with sea currents running at one to two knots, then I belie...
