I've never been one to panic over the climate and energy issues so commonly discussed these days, knowing that we have been blessed from Above with terrific resources. Nevertheless it seems prudent to enjoin healthy discussion and debate with regard to procuring and using the energy needed to enjoy healthy and productive lives. The lecture and website linked herein provides a wealth of resources for those interested in a practical advancement toward energy independence.

In this case, the author touches on nanotechnologies and their potential to solve what seems to be an increasing concern. He compares various sources of energy and evaluates them briefly with regard to their viability in terms of cost and results.

My hope is that in future years we can wean ourselves off from crude oil and other fossil fuels as a primary source for energy, and harness the elements in ways that allow individuals to localize their energy needs. Today it may be cost effective to own a home that is tethered to a grid and burn gasoline to get from place to place, but this need not always be so.

My apologies if this article has already been posted, even though it is over five years old. Enjoy.

As liberals appear to make up 50% of the population, and they all think that overpopulation is the fundamental problem, can’t the “energy crisis” be solved by having them all exit stage left?

Aren’t they willing to do their part for the planet?

Research on nano power storage continues. Here is an article from Feb. 2008. http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/research/4252623.html

I’ve been increasingly absorbed into solving the world’s energy problems for the past six months.

This opening sentence always gets my attention.
