My First Post...

To say I have thought about this BLOGGING
is putting it mildly. How the heck does one get started ? There are so
many little icons everywhere, what do they mean ? Do I click on one ?
And does my post then get deleted ? All quite valid questions. But
let’s see if I can sort out my mind and find what I really want to
write about.

What is the buzz these days ? New highs in the oil price today !
Almost $ 100/bbl ! Now that should be news. People won’t be able to
afford all the nuisance trips in their SUV’s anymore. That will get
their attention. They’ll start thinking about the purpose of every trip
they take. Price of energy ? Where is it going to go or better where is
it going to end ?

The big oil companies are raking in profits like never before.
They’ll mention having to explore and keep drilling for more oil, just
to appease us when we get charged gas prices we have never before seen.
And you know what ? This is what really got me to thinking.

Nobody, but nobody is talking about different ways to get energy.
And I don’t mean solar or wind power. They are unreliable at best and
costly just like $100/bbl oil. Ever think about a solar panel under a
foot of snow ? Or windmills in dead calm ? I’m talking about DIFFERENT
ways to obtain energy. Has anyone ever heard of Nikola Tesla ? Go ahead
and google the name and you’ll find, that he discovered ways to obtain
energy that are not even talked about today. He was the man - in fact
some say the greatest scientist ever - who invented Alternate Current
or AC as we know it, and made it possible to transport electricity over
long distances. He was the one who made Thomas A. Edison’s invention
affordable to the common man. And why don’t we hear about Nikola Tesla
anymore ? I tell you why:

The vested powers won’t have anything to do with Tesla or his ideas,
and there were many. Their hold on the power over us would be gone in a
flash. Imagine cheap energy, that can be had without polluting our
earth. You would think that those candidates for the next presidential
election would latch on to such an earthshaking story ? No, look at
where many get their campaign dollars from: the people with vested
interests !

No folks, it is up to us to keep digging for the stories that get
buried in the news media and make everyone aware that there ARE
solutions to the single biggest problem in the world today ! Available
clean energy for all our energy needs, be it to run our homes or our
cars, planes or ships. Yes, it is available IF we keep asking why the
stories about it keep getting buried and never see the light of day.
That energy is available if we focus all our energies on the problem.
And you would be surprised how close to the solution the tinkerers of
this world already are. So let me close my first post with a question :
Is anyone interested to learn more about clean available energy ?
