Wind Power – A Possible Solution to the Current Energy Crisis

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

If you’re like the rest of us, you’re probably well aware of how todays high energy costs are starting to have a detrimental effect on your way of life. Whether the record high prices are the result of the falling value of the dollar, peak oil, market speculation, or a combination of these, the end result is the same. More pain in the wallet and an increasingly uneasy feeling about the future. We’ve had a very cozy relationship with fossil fuels for many years, but it looks like that relationship is quickly coming to an end. The need for a reduced cost power source has moved from a lofty ideal, to an urgent necessity. So what’s the best plan of action, what can we do? Is there any technology that can adopt to replace fossil fuels? The simple answer is no, there is no magic bullet. But there are some alternatives that if properly executed could provide substantial benefits. Part of the answer, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, may indeed be blowing in the wind.

Alternative energy is now no longer a trendy catch-phrase, it’s been thrust to the front of the line of possible solutions to the energy crisis. One possible solution to our problems is wind power. It’s been extensively tested for years, and wind is plentiful and free. Even though it may not be able to produce 100% of our energy needs, it has the ability to produce a large amount of what we need. If we combine this with conservation and other forms of alternative energy, the future suddenly looks a little brighter.

One of wind powers biggest selling points is that it’s a proven producer of energy. Early examples of harnessing wind power date back to the 1st century. Since then Wind has been used for a variety of tasks; pumping water, grinding wheat, milling lumber, and producing electricity to name a few. Because of it’s long development life, it’s one of the few alternative energy technologies that’s capable of being cheaply deployed. So cheap in fact that there are plans available to construct your own home-made wind powered generators. These too are proven producers with reliability that rivals factory produced units.

While we’re definitely in a state of flux regarding our energy sources, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. If you’re looking for answers, you really need to consider adding wind power to your solution.

John McCain and Barack Obama Need to Deal With the Issues and Quit the Fighting

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

It’s a shame that the American people have to endure all the campaign rhetoric and listen to the two presidential candidates and soon to be their vice presidential picks who will only add more to the criticizing and stage craft that focuses more on the weaknesses of the other candidates. It would be pleasing to hear what each candidate has to offer in terms of how he proposes to fix our country. It’s amazing to me that Joe Biden and John McCain have been friends for so many years and now that Senator Biden is a vice presidential candidate he started his first day on television criticizing Senator McCain. By the way, I’m a veteran of the Vietnam war and clearly heard Senator Bidens comment that Senator McCain was only a war hero and what we need is a leader.

I think any war hero is a leader and should be commended. I’m sure I wasn’t the only American veteran listening. The American people need to know what each candidate plans to do about the following which is only a few of the problems we face.

1. How do you propose to pull our country out of the recession we’re in which is hurting everyone?

2. How do you propose to fix the energy crisis which needs immediate attention?

3. How do you plan to correct the health care problems facing the entire nation?

4. How do you propose to handle the foreclosure disaster which is destroying our country?

5. Do you plan to do anything about the poverty within the United States?

6. How do you plan to get job creation going again before everyone in our country faces poverty?

7. The Christian values which you both proclaim to have can be shown much clearer by your actions than by your words.

8. What is your stand on abortion and stem cell research which are two other big concerns in our country?

9. Where do you stand on foreign issues and how do you plan to show strength as well as compassion in dealing with other nations?

These are just a few of the issues facing our nation today but they are very important ones and need to be addressed honestly. Again, the American people deserve honest answers and not political ploy. While Obama is trying to blame John McCain for everything that George Bush has done over the past eight years he needs to remember that Senator McCain has stood against Bush many times but he cannot control him any better than Obama could control his preacher Jerimiah or the other preachers condemning America. This is probably one of the most important elections this country has ever had and whoever wins has his work cut out for him. Please Americans, listen to what the candidates are proposing, not just their ridicule.

Resources: The best resources to count on now comes from the vast news coverage on CNN, FOX, and all the major news channels. They tend to show what the candidates are actually saying whereas the books, the internet, and the magazines have a better opportunity to tweak what is being said. Also, there seems to be a lot of coverage heading into the conventions and the fall debates. Listen closely!

Homemade Hydrogen Fuel Cell – How to Go Green and Double Gas Mileage

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

As global warming increases, many have asked what we can do to help protect the world we live in. One way is build and install your own homemade hydrogen fuel cell to power your car on water. Only a few years ago, the demand for gas-guzzling SUVs was on the rise, but this was before the general public was as informed as they are today on global warming and before we were severely impacted by the rising gas prices.

We want and need to be more responsible. Thousands of people are using water-fuel conversions during this time of “energy crisis”. Even President George Bush had announced the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative to accelerate hydrogen-related research – to the tune of $1.2 billion. What could be cleaner or more cost-effective than running your car on a renewable energy extracted from water?

What the homemade hydrogen fuel cell does is to break down ordinary water into its elements of hydrogen and oxygen, and then chemically reform into HHO gas or Hybrid Hydrogen Oxygen. This gas supplements normal gasoline to greatly enhance fuel economy.

Here are a few of the many benefits of this humble gas saving device.

- A homemade hydrogen fuel cell burns cleanly

- The only by-products you wind up with when you burn hydrogen along with oxygen are water and heat.

- Hydrogen is often burned completely without pollution and can easily double your car’s gas mileage. This means more money in your wallet!

- Hydrogen (and water) among are the most abundant substances around!

- Fuel cells are 100-200% more efficient than their gasoline counterparts.

- Safety is not an issue, and HHO is as safe as using diesel, gasoline or natural gas.

- Hydrogen can help reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Most of us cringe when we fill up our gas tanks and we try to reduce our other spending just to pay our high gas bills. By making energy-efficient choices, you can benefit everyone.

No more filling up your tank for $80 or more. You could be saving thousands of dollars each year if you build your own hydrogen fuel cell. Let’s stop giving oil companies our hard earned money, and receive IRS refunds for using green technology! The energy industries have been trying to keep this technology from us for years. The best thing is, this technology works anywhere in the world, and you can build your own hydrogen fuel cell in a few hours of your time and at low cost too!

Want To Build Your Own Homemade Hydrogen Fuel Cell But Don’t Know Where To Start?

Fret not! Many people in your shoes have successfully built one on their own to run their cars on water. They are already shaving $1000s off their gas bills. If you need step-by-step guidance in installing one, I have reviewed the Top 3 Best-Selling Homemade Hydrogen Fuel Cell Guides for your convenience.
