Almost a century later, we are in an era where
development and energy consumption is expanding at a rate that estimates and
predictions are foreseeing a global energy crisis in the very near future. According
to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, estimates of oil reserves left in
the world reach 1.3 trillion barrels, which is enough at present rates of
consumption to last another 40 years. A world without any oil will certainly lead to a very large revolution.
Great alternative energy solutions, such as San Diego solar energy systems, exist, however, governments and citizens are
not looking to these solutions fast enough. Forty years is not a lot of time!
The way we build and engineer our homes and our cars
can dramatically change and revolutionize the way we live and consume. There is
no better time to re-think and restructure how we live and to use innovation
and engineering to get us there.

The other part of the transaction forgotten is that the electricity now comes for free. So that about the time that I have repaid my carbon debt, I have also paid for the installation with reduced electricity bills. I am now in the same position I was in before I made the installation. But!!! it is now cheaper to live because I don't have to pay the electricity company. I have become more efficient - more wealthy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe with more incentive from the government, solar energy could be more handy for people and would start replacing the energy we use now...
