CAN WE BE ENERGY INDEPENDENT???

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 17, 2010 --

I recently came across an article in my local hometown newspaper about the possibility of 300 green jobs may be added to the local economy. This area of the country had been hit especially hard by the loss of most of its manufacturing industry. As is the case with most online newspapers the general public have the option to respond to articles, and they certainly do. I was shocked at the respondents to this particular article as I read many anonymous replies how green technology is some sort of large scale conspiracy by the liberal politicians and oil and energy companies. At first I thought this must be some sort of joke, but much to my dismay these people clearly believe this to be true. I couldn't just walk away without adding my two cents about how renewable energy benefits them, not the oil and coal industry. I swear I could almost smell the burning torches and hear the angry mobs as they wielded their clubs and pitch forks. Well needless to say 300 jobs walked away from that town to a more friendly location.

With the rise of the new Tea Party, a “grassroots” movement that is funded by Koch oil industries and the misinformation channel, Rupert Murdoch and Fox news, there has been a backlash to the green movement. There isn’t much point in arguing with these people who have bought into the propaganda perpetuated by these oil and energy companies. The best bet for a cheaper, cleaner environment rests mostly upon us to do our own part in achieving energy independence.

Solar energy is one alternative to the high costs of powering a residential home and is one that I am fully committed too. Currently at our home we supply all the hot water we need by way of solar heating. This alone has cut the costs of our home energy needs substantially.

As I now live in Florida with hurricanes and power outages being an issue one can only be prepared. So in the attempt to continue growing with alternative energy and the use of solar, our family has incorporated the All in One Solar Survival Backpack Kit in addition to solar items. The key is to build slowly. Converting to alternative energy and solar is a process that is affordable by all that are passionate about utilizing alternative energy and saving the environment.

In the near future we intend to retrofit our home to supply even more solar energy to the point we no longer will be paying for our energy needs. Although many may claim that the payback isn't worth the investment I would disagree with that point. Every little bit we do to minimize carbon emissions is a step in the right direction. Businesses, educational institutions, health care facilities and government agencies are becoming aware that a green building minimizes their impact on the environment and lower energy and operational costs. The research and development in the solar industry is making giant leaps forward to lower the costs of equipment and increase the efficiency of solar collection.
Nothing in life is free but the sun is our constant companion that gives us the affirmation that today is a new day. With a little investment we can all become energy independent, can anyone tell me how that can be a bad thing. It's my hope and belief that renewable energy can and will be cost effective for all of us.
