Sustainable Power for Small Consumers

Tweet

We watch helplessly the perils of recent natural earthquake disaster in Japan.The question arises- can we live with less fear of loss of power, food, water and other resources? Can we learn to live with nature and understand how to use Nature's free gift of air, water, land, wind etc.? The answers lies in how we change our thinking and allow the development of local developments and produce our own resources.

"Net Zero" or "Energy Independent" community concepts are possible today if we are willing to invest and plan with long term in mind. There are real life examples of such communities in Europe that have shown that they need no oil or other resources imported to serve their needs.

Sun shines, Wind blows and precipitation falls on the land everywhere. The Smart Green communities accept it as gift from nature and use it locally to power their buildings, supply water to grow local food and recycle their wastes to make fertilizer to be applied back to the farms. In nature there is no waste. Everything can be used again and again.

Our Leaders at National, State, County, Town or Villages need to provide tax free bond funds to the local residents, institutions on a 30 to 40 year loan for investing in Nature based Green alternative energy and water& waste recycling technologies. The day of energy independence for America can come in 20- 30 years with such programs. Each community can exist as self reliant and not dependent on power made somewhere else and food grown and shipped from miles away. Let us empower local farmers and workforce to have jobs and economic development. Nature is trying to tell us something.. Force of the nature is immense and we need to act accordingly as we adopt and learn to live with it.
