Every day, a quantity of electricity equivalent to the sum of world’s oil resources reaches the earth from the sun.

I don't have a background in science, but this is something I've known in my heart that could work.

I've been laughed at many times for "dreaming" about this discovery.

I've been telling a particular someone that my dream house would be totally self sufficient with clean energy and he said "You have no idea what you're talking about. They can barely come up with enough power to burn a lamp or two."

Between the sun and the wind, I can't figure out why more people haven't done this.

Thanks for the link Rod This is great stuff!

Wow, Sherri

I have the exact same dream house! I have been researching alternative energy for my new house and it is indeed a combination of wind and solar. When it comes time to build it, I will be ready.

Cheers!

Is the idea of getting all our energy from the sun or wind a pipe dream?

Many things that we take for granted today would have been impossible to imagaine even, only a hundred years ago.

Could anyone then think that such things as radio, tv, internet, planes, satelites, moon-landing could be possible outside the realm of fairy tales and wild fancies?

Why go back that long -- Could one think of such a thing as cell phone only a few years back? Now they are so common that I have seen sweepers using them while brooming the pavements.

So abundundant energy does not seem to me an impossiblity, considering what has happened and specially learning from SOGR that actually there is no lack of anything in the Universe.

It is our scarcity thinking that makes things far-fetched or impossible.

Buckminster Fuller said that the world's oil is like a bank account--there's a fixed amount in there--and solar energy is like interest income. For a time we are living on the principal, and that time must come to an end; but eventually we will live on our daily income.

So in our current stage of development, we are using the oil as a sort of investment, to develop our technology in preparation for the next stage.

The difficulty with solar energy is that it's dilute. It is true (so far!) that there is a fixed amount of it arriving, per square meter, per day. If you want more, you need to capture it over a wider area. We are continually increasing the efficiency of the solar cells, so what your naysayer said was more true then than it is now.

We are not confined to the Earth's surface, either. There are plans for solar-power satellites that will collect solar energy over an area of--who knows? several square miles? and transmit it back to Earth.

You know, we can think of hydroelectric ("dam") power as concentrated solar energy. The sun shines on the ocean, and vapor rises over an area of thousands of square miles. The vapor blows over the land, and falls as rain onto a watershed. Then as it runs downhill, it is concentrated into the area of a lake, backs up behind a dam and powers our equipment.

Wood and oil, too, can be thought of as concentrated solar energy. It's concentrated not only in space, but in time. Plants receive sunlight over a period of years and store it in their bodies, which become wood or oil--then we release that energy in a short time.

In a recently revised edition of the classic book, THINK & GROW RICH by Napolean Hill, it states most SUPER rich and successful people don't really make it until after the age of 40. Guess why?

They finally learn to channel their ENERGY into the goal they wish to truly achieve. Up til then, they had been wasting a great deal on their sex drive.... True.

I recently have had to delete certain people and wasteful actions (of any unproductive nature)to achieve my primary goals.

I've noticed a HUGE QUANTUM LEAP in achievement. Just thought it relevant.

P.S. I'm not suggesting we stop pro-creating. Just be sure it's PRO-creating. Not what's your name again wastefulness.... My change was in another area though. :-)

Your dream house will be much more efficient when your intent to receive and use solar energy is designed into it from the beginning.

Let me put that another way: If you retro-fit an existing house with solar panels, you will get panels of a certain size. If you design and build the house with solar energy in mind, you will build in much BIGGER panels--which will recieve and use much MORE energy.

LeTicia,

How do you go about this 'sex transmutation' and how did you 'delete' certain people and wasteful actions? Can you tell a little bit more about your experiences?

Thanks,

Lucky
I wish you even MORE success!
