Energy Solutions

Let's start with something as simple as changing a lightbulb and how this one act can literally change the World.

Changing a Lightbulb. One of the simplest acts in the World.

So simple, we ignore it.

Yet, what if many of our most pressing problems could be solved by this simple act?

One simple act that WE have control of and not politicians.

We're still living in the 1800's when we use incandescent bulbs.

So much energy is expended just burning our old-fashioned incandescent bulbs.

First, it's a waste of Natural and Human Resources.

We presently have to imports millions of barrels of oil to provide the electricity to turn on these bulbs and most of that energy is wasted as heat and not the light we want.

This oil is expensive and becoming more and more expensive in dollars, blood and personal freedom.

So, our electricity is expensive as most is produced by burning oil.

Besides the obvious waste of Oil, there is the political factor that we must secure this oil from areas of the World that are unstable and dangerous.

That leads to requirements for a larger military force to secure the oil and prevent the disruption in it's flow.

This, in turn, lead to wars, rebellions and coups which we become embroiled in as a matter of personal survival.

Which, in turn, requires a larger and more privacy-intrusive intelligence structure (read CIA, NSA, NRO, FBI, Homeland Security, and other secretive alphabet agencies) which must monitor the activities of more and more of the world and it's citizens (including our own).

They have no choice.

They have to protect this energy superstructure from threats foreign and domestic.

All this costs Big Money and that money is going to come from Taxpayers.
