Sustainable Energy Policy Question
Posted under News by Webmaster at 19:28 on Nov 02 2009
Aloha Move-on members and Presidential candidates. My name is Rob Kinslow. I’m standing in front of an 8Kilo-watt solar array at Ahu Lani, an off-the-grid educational center on the slopes of Mauna Kea, Hawai`i. My question is this: Given the historical relationship between our American government and big business – that is, socialism for big business and capitalism for the rest of us; given the billions upon billions upon billions of tax dollars spent to subsidize the dirtiest of energy producers: coal, oil and nuclear; what do you think a sustainable policy would look like? One that doesn’t pollute, destroy or degrade our childrens natural heritage? How would your administration support, and develop sustainable business practices, ones that adhere to the triple bottom line, that is, taking care of people, place, culture? In Hawai`i we have a saying, “Malama o ka Aina.” and it means, “Let’s all take care of the planet, the land, the air we breathe, for from it all wealth flows.” I hope you’ll make that a part of your administration’s policy. Thank you. for more visit: www.one.revver.com

Electranet sounds great! i support all of this… greetings from Mexico… It is time to become independent all of the people, all of us from the monopoly from government and great corporations.
Individual sovereignty on energy now!

Easy: efficient, distributed power. De-centralized systems with many small points of supply, increase efficiency 3X and are also more reliable. Such a system can take advantage of existing infrastructure as is the case with grid-tied solar. Other alternatives can be employed which address other issues simultaneously such as hydrogen generated electricity that produce clean drinking water as a byproduct, also bio-fuel that convert waist into energy. I could go on but 500 word limit.

Correct! Its a myth there is not enough. Cogenerating means everyone supplying energy from their own backyards/building tops and edges/cars surfaces etc. with distributed power sites. This is the same concept that brought us the internet, i.e., information being supplied by every one. Why not create an Electranet? There’s plenty of power for ALL!
With the internet why do we need politicians anyway… hows about the governet?

Easy answer.
1. Effeciency (More energy in cogen is availible than all US nuke plants)
2. Geothermal
3. Large Scale Electric Storage, like Pumped Hydropower, and Compressed Air Energy Storage.
4. Use #3 to back up Wind/Solar
We got plenty of energy to go around
