The resources that have been used to empower worldwide economies are becoming extinct, causing fighting in the Middle East, and an accelerated international government power trip. The sooner every home owner and business entity makes the decision to begin using renewable energy, the sooner the world will be a more pleasant place to live.
One renewable energy source is the use of the sun to create energy that can be converted into a source for electricity. One thing is given while using this source; the sun will never burn out, leaving anyone with no power. In addition electricity can be generated by the use of the wind, or even by creating a water wheel. There are also new innovative mechanisms that can create energy alone with no need for any kind of renewable energy.
Heating a building with petroleum based fuels such as kerosene, diesel, or propane is highly toxic via the exhaust produced and released into the atmosphere. Therefore, wood pellet stoves have been introduced. These stoves burn small pellets which are similar to the size of rabbit pellets and are made of compressed saw dust. This is a good alternative to use for heating a building, but the pellets have become expensive.
Diesel fuel is used in the United States by a number of large trucking fleets to ensure the strength of the economy. These trucks burn a petroleum based fuel that creates carbon in excess amounts, polluting the air and the atmosphere. There is a natural type of biodiesel fuel that will operate a diesel engine and does not create any dangerous exhaust fumes. With a few minor adjustments, this fuel can be used as a heating fuel as well for any forced air furnace that uses kerosene.
Gas engines also release harmful gases into the air causing pollution. Gas vehicle motors are being changed into ethanol using motors or hybrids. Hybrids can operate on different fuels and are rather costly to purchase. There are hydro vehicles that run on water, but certainly release hot steam into the air. Electric cars are also an option.
Recycling plastic should be a top priority in every household. Plastic is not biodegradable and when not recycled will lie in a dump for eons before it naturally disintegrates. Burning plastic products will enlarge the hole that is already creating the planet to heat up considerably.
Teaching the future generations how to perform manual labor without the use of fuel or battery powered equipment is the greatest method in the continuous fight against global warming. When there is work going on at home instead of make believe television, or manipulated media, the home front becomes stronger. The fight against global warming starts on the home front.
Renewable energy sources need put into effect immediately. The only people capable of making a dent in the energy crisis are those that are not afraid to try something no one else will attempt.
