Renewable Energy: Any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal, photochemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). Renewable energy does not include energy resources derived from fossil fuels, waste products from fossil sources, or waste products from inorganic sources.

"We should make use of the forces of nature and should obtain all our power in this way.  Sunshine is a form of energy, wind and sea currents are manifestations of this energy.  Do we make use of them?  Oh no!  We burn forests and coal, like tenants burning down our front door for heating.  We live like wild settlers."

Thomas A. Edison, 1916      

EV Tech - Postmortem Print
General

The phrase "Who Killed the Electric Car" has been in the press again lately with the recent release of the documentary, "Revenge of the Electric Car".  While it is our dire desire to be rid of all dependency on petroleum for our transportation needs, current generation EV technologies are still far from viable per a list of issues... economically, environmentally, safety, human health, longevity, scalability and sustainability.  These high-tech vehicles simply do not make sense for the vast majority of American drivers.  Per our exhaustive evaluation, we consider the EV "dead" to the general American public until the various technologies surpass a long list of reasonable thresholds.  The following is the postmortem report on the current generation of EV vehicles.

U.S. Migration Print
General

There are a dozen transportation infrastructures with a poll position to "wean" U.S. drivers off of OPEC petroleum.  Only one of them is economically attractive, has the potential to become a large scale solution and can achieve rapid success.  It is a win, win, win solution in that it can (1) eliminate 100% of all U.S. purchases of OPEC petroleum within 5 years.  It is great for the environment in that it results in (2) 30%-35% lower emissions with a 25% petroleum volume reduction over-all each year going forward at the same number of miles traveled in comparable sized vehicles.  It is economically viable (3) - while this Migration will save U.S. drivers a considerable amount of money individually, many economists are suggesting this immediate solution has the best potential to boost our economy of any option on the table today.
