Good News! Climate Change Awareness has achieved control of CO2 emmissions

Tweet

Thank you to all the scientists that have been warning about Climate change and global warning while the world ignored it for many decades. Inconvenient truth movie brought this issue to the forefront and for last 10 years debates started in USA.

Rest of the world noticed the risks resulting from this problem and cost of repairing natural disaster events. Technology solutions were developed as the world found new sources of clean energy to serve our need.

Solar power technology using the PV cells witnessed huge reduction of 90% over a decade which made it possible to make power for much lower costs. One watt of PV cell went from $8.00 per watt to now 40 cents cost. So one can imagine why we can now make power for lower cost then power purchased from the Utility, with some incentives from Federal or State.

This is probably the biggest reason why solar power growth has been at a scale of over 30,000% over a decade. Politics may sway some Leaders to say that global warming or Climate change is not reality. International Energy Agency just released a report that C)2 emissions are now flat and no longer going up. This is victory for mankind and assures us that as more people adopt clean solar power and switch their cars to Electric Vehicles the world would experience a reduction in atmospheric C)2 levels. It no longer matters what our elected Leaders say, the marketplace is irreversible and will lead us to more Green power and reductions in Green House Gasses.

The truth about affordable solar energy is known to all and with lower cost solar programs, some Climate smart communities have taken the lead and become energy independent.

In New York State any Municipality can now fix the cost of power with solar power installation and make it possible to achieve less than 6 cents per kwh power after the system capital is recovered in about 10 years. The power cost today is about 10 cents per Kwh so imagine paying 6 cents per Kwh after 10 years and keeping it at that level for another 20 years. These could be the Years of prosperity when money saved in enerrgy cost will help local economy.

Let us take advantage of this reality and achieve triple bottom line- Save money, save the environment and help build our communities.

Independence Day July 4th has new Meaning and New Vision- "Goodbye Oil" is coming soon

Tweet

Look at the news headlines related to Renewable Energy and Energy Storage in June..2017,  the message is that Future is very bright in this field.

Climate change is a great challenge to us all and it offers tremendous opportunity to make transformational changes in the world.

We work with small Municipalities in New York State and most still operate in the old paradigm. If no change is made then they may miss the opportunity to become Energy Independent. It is not a dream anymore as we can achieve it now with help from current incentives and lowering cost of hardware.

Can you imaging that in 2017-2018 electric power can be made cheaper by the consumer as compared to power company. Abundant solar energy is for everyone and every location should look at natural resources that can help them reach energy independence.

The transportation industry is about to see " Goodbye Gasoline" in near future, as new cars that go for 250 to 350 miles on one charge are available and affordable in coming years. Self driving cars and cars that do not have exhaust are Clean smart cars that will make big cities livable and healthy. Charge them at  night and use them for micro-gird management when power fails. These are ideas of today made possible in near future.

I am very hopeful that a new vision is about to become reality as we approach 2020. I certainly plan to switch to EV in next 2 years and say "Goodbye to Oil". This 20/20 vision is now possible due to new technology development and incentives to invest in Clean power.

Better days are ahead! Let us go Green and say Goodbye to Oil.
Future Independence Days would have lot more meaning as we work together.

Happiness and Energy Independence

If you have not heard about Zappos then please do go to their web site and learn about how Happiness matters. This innovative and visionary company is making a difference by first taking care of their people and then taking care of the community. Imagine a large company moving their head quarters to Las Vegas downtown and making the commitment to revive the community.They are setting a great example for public - private sector to get engaged and help in sustaining our communties with economic development.

The interesting fact is that Zappos makes more money and many other large corporations are now learning from their experience and adopting the same philosophy.

Who does not want to be Happy? So why not focus on making your staff happy by giving them a great purpose to work for and resources to make a contribution.
Energy Independence is a great cause and we should focus on conservation and Green power generation in our facilities and communities.

Every individual effort counts as it brings you the feeling of Happiness. Take my example of recently buying a plug in Prius. The additional cost of about $8,000 may only give me annual gas savings of 150 gallons worth $500.00. It is clearly a bad economic decision if you only consider dollars and cents. What about the value of 7,500 miles per year  of driving on battery power, with smile and satisfaction that I am not using any gas and not polluting the air for others to breath. For me, every day of this experience is worth every penny of the additional cost.
Hopefully the demand created by buyers like me will help reduce the cost to produce such cars and soon we will have bigger battery power range at lower cost for more people to buy such cars. My last hybrid Prius has 232,000 miles and I look forward to having a similar "smile filled" experience with this "plug in hybrid".

Stop fuel waste from idling cars

It was nice for our local TV channel 8 to cover the fuel saving story. It was followed by an invitation to share the concept with a CEO learning group via Internet radio talk show on April 22 2011- The Earth Day.
The link is given below;

This proven technology can save fuel and return the investment in 6-9 months of savings. So why not all the school district and communities investing the pension money as a short term loan and save lots of money for years to come. It offers a guaranteed return of lot more than 3-4% they get from treasury notes, bonds etc.
This is one of the steps to gain energy independence.
