Renewable Home Energy Solutions – Introduction

Hi Guys,

I hope that you’ve all had a really great day.

First of all I would like to tell you that I am no eco warrior, environmentalist, survivalist etc. My interest in Renewable Home Energy Solutions started a long time however the cost of renewable energy has always, up to now, been prohibitive. My interest in renewable home energy is purely a selfish one; I want to retain as much of my earnings as possible and to spend it as want to. And I ultimately want to be able to live off the grid, which means no longer paying ever-increasing electricity bills.

To that end I will lay out all the latest technological advances that one could utilize to reduce your energy requirements without reducing your personal comfort. The funny thing is that some of the so-called new ideas are actually quite ancient whilst others are cutting edge.

Over the next few weeks and months I plan to provide you with good solid information with regards to the following:

• Passive solar energy
• Hot water heating solar panels
• Electricity generating solar panels
• Photovoltaic cells
• Electricity generating wind turbines for the home
• Building your own home electricity generating power plant
• House design
• Calculating your energy requirements
• Energy storage including battery types
• The case against commercial industrial wind power
• The case against commercial industrial bio diesel

I’ll start with an explanation of where I stand on some of the issue that in effect affect the above.

My paradigm or worldview provides me with a framework to organize new thoughts and information. This is how we all “make sense of the world around us.” Our paradigms filter out what doesn’t fit from our worldview. However it appears that for some reason or other we cannot seem to be able to learn what doesn’t conform to our paradigm and because of this, our paradigms can either liberate us or imprison us, depending on how true to our reality they are.

My paradigm has shifted many times in the past. At times the shift is slow and gradual, whilst at other times the shift has been rather sudden and violent. Some 13-years or so ago I had a series of paradigm shifts. I have always been an avid reader and to some extent I have always known that governments, religion, mainstream media, big business & the education system were actively sabotaging society.

With these paradigm shifts I learned not to ever take anything for granted, to cross reference any story, to see through the propaganda and most crucially to follow the money i.e. who benefits.

Repeatedly, through time, some grand fraud or other is concocted by the unholy alliance of governments, religion, mainstream media, big business & the education system, each with its own agenda and vested interest.

This unholy partnership of self interested businesses, so-called scientists, grandstanding politicians, alarmist campaigners and a main stream media pushing their sponsors agendas provide a new twist on a very old practice; companies and individuals using public policy to line their own pockets.

This loose grouping, to put them in the same category as the military-industrial complex, can I supposed, be called the climate-industrial complex. A grouping that does not promote any discussion or free thoughts on environmental matters but will attack and vilify any detractor or person not on message. They would really make the Spanish Inquisition proud by their labeling of any and all dissenters as heretics.

This loose grouping however have their own vested interests and agendas and will at times work against each other, which in my mind is a blessing in disguise.

For the last few years, they’ve been trying to terrorize us into accepting that human society was on the brink of extinction because of man-made global warming. We are warned that, unless we take drastic action to reverse it – then islands will disappear, whole cities will be destroyed and polar bears will drown. However, when the universe conspired against the global warmists by giving us rather cool summers and a really long and cold winter it quickly became climate change.

Climate change has occurred long before man made his apparition on this planet and will continue to do so long after we will disappear from this earth. As this planet has been considerably hotter and colder than it is at the moment, is it not rather egotistical of man to assume that he has an effect upon the earth’s temperature?

The climate-industrial complex / environmentalist movement has taken on a religious like fervour with saint Al Bore as its spokes person.

When it comes to so-called carbon trading, an industry created out of thin air that produces nothing but is going to cost the general public and taxpayer an arm and a leg one should follow the money and check out who will benefit from such a scheme. Interestingly enough Al Bore’s name pops up. He buys his carbon credit from, wait for it, his own carbon trading company. A company he conveniently started in 2004 two years before he brought out the fictional film “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006. The man whose home uses up as much energy as 20 average US homes. In 2006 he used over 191000 kWh of electricity whilst the average American home only used less than 11000 kWh. How’s this for an inconvenient truth!

Carbon trading is a scam used by the climate-industrial complex to redistribute even more of the taxpayer’s and general public’s wealth into their own coffers and the same as always: the control over our lives for its own sake, thinly disguised by phoney self-righteous posturing.

Hey! If you feel guilty about your so-called carbon footprint or if you believe in this sh1t I’ve got some pet rocks to sell you or even better you can buy your carbon credits from me… For more information email me at… Aw, forget it, I’d be scamming you too wouldn’t I.

The vested interest of climate-industrial complex / environmental movement cares little for the people of this planet. They don’t care that there policies sentences the poorest in Africa, Asia and South America to death just as long as they have done their bit for the “planet”.

Now back to my interest in renewable home energy solutions.

About 13-years ago a friend of mine who worked in photovoltaic (PV) research told me that I would not believe the amount of political interference in their research. And that at that time, keeping in mind that this was 13-years ago, every single home could be self-sufficient in energy. The only thing that was stopping this was the vested interest of energy suppliers and government interference.

The vested interest of the power companies which, apart from the electricity supply companies, also include the gas and oil companies, have kept this virtually free energy away from the general public.

However, various researchers, engineers and enthusiasts have continuously worked on private projects and the information has rippled out into the wider community.

Other advances in the manufacture of improved electrical and electronic equipment as well as in lighting technology has helped to reduce our energy consumption.

Another area that was and to a certain extent still is problematic is the storage of energy, especially electrical energy. However, battery technology is improving and can make a substantially difference to renewable home energy solutions.

This revolution has been long in coming. I believe that we have reached critical mass and that it will be our choice whether we continue paying exorbitant prices to the energy suppliers or we spend a bit of capital up front and enjoy vastly reduced energy bills or even go off-grid altogether.

I believe that there is a place for solar and wind energy, though, probably not in an industrial scale but certainly for home use.

The choice is ours.

Large industrial complexes will still require energy from energy suppliers but we no longer have to help subsidize them.

I wish you everything I wish myself.

Until the next time.
