Endless Energy by Dana L. Stewart

A recent brouhaha has erupted over the merits of Wind Farms versus Mountaintop Coal mining. Neither argument is valid. The respective industries spend enormous sums to market, and lie, about the “greenness” of their processes, but both are severely damaging to the environment. Destruction of the environment by coal mining of any sort is well-known, and coal slurry disasters have been the biggest, and worst, in the nation’s history. There is no such thing as “clean coal”. For the truth about the leftover ENRON Wind Farm Energy Fraud and its devastating effects on the environment - in their manufacture, installation, and operation.- we suggest a visit to www.nationalwindwatch.com, and to Nettie Pena’s documentary films, “They’re Not Green” at http://web.me.com/thrnotgreen/Home.html
windmillwww.nationalwindwatch.com, 
As a matter of fact, “China’s Wind Farms Come with a Catch: Coal Plants”, by Jing Yang, which appears on the Home page of “They’re not Green’, shows how they support one another! This is also true in Palm Springs, California, where 4,000 windmills produce less than 1% of the energy used - a very inefficient, very polluting, very expensive, very destructive system. These are the wrong design in the wrong places. They are placed in the Pacific Flyway, killing Nature’s pest control – migratory birds and bats. Thus, West Nile Virus and Hanta Virus are on the rise there because of the mosquito and rat infestations. As a member of the top of the food chain, I don’t like any weak links! A dozen species a day go extinct.

Graft and collusion of political and corporate power make it possible. Public campaign financing would go a long way to decrease the influence of big business on policy, but until then, for those who do not know the difference between Socialism and Shinola, we suggest a visit to the dictionary to look up the definitions of the various “isms”. Meanwhile, the following quote should at least ring some bells:

“Fascism should more properly be called Corporatism since it is the merger of State and Corporate power.” – Benito Mussolini

We also recommend all recent books by former Vice President Al Gore, and Thomas Friedman’s “Hot, Flat, and Crowded”.

Corporatism, where profit always takes precedence over the public good, is not merit-based Capitalism. Fortunately, we have TWO golden bullets, and lots of silver ones.

We can solve over 95% of our pollution and energy problems biologically and mechanically, without toxic chemicals, and one of the keys to success is “Point-of-Purchase” power. That means building–integrated energy systems, and producing what is needed as closely as possible to where it will be used. Like food. This is the fastest, cheapest, cleanest way to achieve the U.S. national security objective of energy independence.
Only Public Opinion will change Public Policy.

Endless Energy
and “Green-washing” Black-hearted Greed

As the latest reports on global climate change are becoming ever more dire, and the data becomes more complete, we are becoming aware of the impossible becoming the imperative.
To prevent the worst hangover from our addiction to fossil fuels that has ever been imagined, we begin with “Conservation is half the Cure”. Orientation and insulation can save up to 80% of a building’s energy use. We have had the technologies for Endless Energy for decades, and even centuries and millennia! We can be energy independent from filthy fossil fuels - yesterday.
 
There are TWO "golden bullets" for perpetual power - solar and biomass fuels from wastes.
 
Pay yourself for your power with Point-of-Purchase systems. These 2 power systems can be adapted anywhere, to virtually any home or business. These are home-based, farm-based, business-based energy systems. They include small and safe, viable and sustainable, clean energy generation. This, of course, reduces demand for energy from utilities, and will alleviate grid crashes and brown-outs. It will also significantly reduce the need for more fire-hazard power towers, the so-called “Smart Grid”, marching across our pristine lands. Another green-washed energy scam.

Individual energy independence is being incentivized. Funding needs to be continued for more to participate. The billions of dollars spent for oil exploration and extraction can be redirected. Government and giant energy companies' industrial projects are costly, polluting, and are accelerating climate change. This includes wind farms, in collusion with energy companies, which are falsely promoted as "green", but are actually part and parcel of the extremely costly “Military-Industrial-Financial” complex boondoggles that favor very few. As a country, we have over-provided for the common defense, and under-provided for the common good. The War industry is the world’s largest polluter. As dear ol’ Ma, a diplomat who served 3 tours of duty in VietNam, used to say, (since WW II) - “War is a Racquet!”
 
Biomass fuels were used on farms throughout World War II. They were made from wood and farm wastes. Crop waste disposal is a major expense for farms which can be turned into a profit center with bio-composting. Green and wood wastes from forest fire underbrush and hurricane debris can be pelletized for clean electric power fuel in non-polluting facilities. We do not have to "grow" our source material. Big Ag and Big Chem are saying we do, but this is a scam by the Petro-Chemical-Pharmaceutical (PCP) cartel, as was the corn ethanol hoax. The PCP thugs are now developing algae fuels by developing genetically-modified microbes. Algae fuels are terrific, but this is completely unnecessary and extremely expensive. They are backed by BP and Shell Oil, and they are following the Monsanto model of patents for profit. - for seeds and now, microbes! Lauded as a “green” breakthrough, it is corporatism at its worst. And it is unconscionable.

“Fascism should more properly be called Corporatism, for it is the merger of State and Corporate power.” Benito Mussolini

I have a corporation or two, but I am not a Corporatist, and I do not favor corporate welfare. I ask, where are the trust-busters when you need them?!

Fish and livestock can be raised organically. As Hippocrates said, “let thy Medicine be thy food, and let food be thy medicine.” Food is medicine. But, what we are getting are DNA-altering genetictically-modified crops. Lands (and people!) are being sterilized by chemicals. It takes 9 tons of petroleum to make 1 ton of chemical fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. Think of the savings if we used bio-compost! That alone could make us energy independent. And no one can make IEDs or Oklahoma City bombs with it. Buy organic foods, or compost and grow your own, for safety and for health. Vote with your wallets.

There is no reason to have chemicals in our water, such as the fossil fuel mining wastes that generate counter-productive fluoride (it makes teeth brittle and discolored) and cancer-triggering chlorine. When chlorine combines with organic matter, it creates Trichlorohalomethanes, one of the most carcinogenic combos there is! Human thyroid diseases are tremendously accelerated by these pollutants posing as beneficial additives. The rise in cancer and thyroid disease can be correlated to the rise in the use of these chemicals.

All water and soil restoration can be accomplished through biological and mechanical means.
 
Stronger fuel standards can be mandated. All energy generation facilities can be made non-polluting. This can happen at wartime speed. And it must. Climate change is real because we have fought against Nature rather than working with Nature. Chemicals have no place in our food and water, nor in the production of energy. It is unnecessary and wasteful. There are helix-shaped wind systems that are safe and silent and can be building-integrated with solar.

Costs of "upstream" manufacturing pollutions and "downstream" contaminations must be factored in to perceive, and achieve, the real savings of an energy system. This is where wind farms and nuclear power facilities fail. And, speaking of which,
 
NO MORE NUKES. Not for energy, not for weapons. It is the world’s most expensive and dangerous way to boil water. Hundreds of near-misses every year for another Chernobyl, its radioactive wastes, and terrorists vying for the discards, make this the most dangerous and devastating of all, as well as the most expensive. They are not clean and green, either. Plants in France are leaking and contaminating rivers for tens of thousands of years. They must be banned except for one use - to deflect the inevitable asteroid on a collision course with Earth. Pointed up, not at each other. But this does not make the news…..

We all deserve clean air, clean water and clean food.

More jobs. Environmental technologies can offer millions of more jobs at all skill levels. Renewable resources can provide all of the green building materials we need. Get the miners out of the mines, and into manufacturing solar and biomass equipment. Put deserted Flint, Michigan, and devastated New Orleans, back to work. Providing jobs, not bombs, works to implement a democracy anywhere - in foreign and domestic policies. How much could we save if we solarized Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan? China, India, the U.S.?! Chemical fertilizers and herbicides are sterilizing our lands, and creating “red tides” and “dead zones” in the oceans.
 
Everyone in the world is going to need to do everything they can to turn the tide. The combined forces can stave off the worst of the catastrophic consequences of climate change. This combined “Coalition for Conservation” has no room for 4Fers – Filthy Fossil Fuel Folks.
If you are farming, drilling or mining for fuel, you’re doing it wrong.

It is time for a united effort to truly "go green to make green", and to restore our Eden, the Earth.

“Polluting the environment is blasphemous – we are ruining God’s work. There is only one planet and one people” – His Holiness Bartholomew I

Endless wastes and endless sunshine can give us Endless Energy. British Petroleum, BP, has ads that show symbols in the exact Bass-ackward Priorities to follow: Oil, Gas, Wind, Solar, Biofuels, and Energy Efficiency. If we follow these priorities in reverse, we will not need much of the first two. Siemens promotes wind farms on the plains delivering energy to homes on the coast. All the energy is lost in transmission! We need POP Power. Worldwide scientific consensus can no longer be ignored, and nay-saying scientists bought off by the energy industries no longer have credence. Dinosaurs chasing the dinosaur juice would take us all to extinction. “Drill, Baby, Drill” means “Kill, Baby, Kill”. How many solar rooftops would one nuclear facility provide? Or the one-year budget for oil or gas exploration? We could be energy-independent, yesterday.

We cannot indulge in denial, we don’t have the time. And this can no longer be politicized as left or right. We must unite to meet the challenge of the survival of our planet. We’re all in the same boat, so please, Wage Peace. It is far more healthy, productive, and lucrative, than waging war.

We are grateful for those who take time to become aware and informed, and to take action.
