Speaking Eco Green

I have come across some energy facts that I would like to share with you from the United States government.  The US uses 20,680,000 barrels of oil per day. We are ranked number one. The next closest country is China, they are using 7,578,000 barrels of oil per day. Even though these figures are from a report from 2007, the use of petroleum continues to grow.  We also lead in gasoline consumption to.

We have natural resources available right here in our country and other country,s around the world, that we could be putting to good use. We only use less than 1% of our total energy consumption for wind and solar. And the totals of all renewable energy which includes:  bio-fuels, waste, wood and coal fuels, geothermal, and hydroelectric which includes wind and solar only amounts to a little over 7%. It’s amazing that we have any petroleum left. Finding new petroleum is only going to get harder and more expensive to extract from the earth!

We need to concentrate on our natural energy sources Now. Solar Energy for instance needs to be researched more than ever. I don’t believe we will ever run out of the sun’s energy, Do You? No, I don’t think so, but we could run out of petroleum someday and it’s only going to get more expensive. Why should we give all of our money to other country’s for oil, that gives them leverage over us for the energy we need, and costs we can’t control.  Bad Ideal!

Technology exist today to build your own renewable energy system, it could be a solar hot water system, wind generator system, or a photovoltaic energy system, any of these systems would help us financially.  Our children are facing tremendous energy challenges in the near future. Real possibilities exist like Home Solar Power Energy to take your home Off-grid were all your utilities are self sufficient. Just think of the ideal of not owing the power company any money on a utility bill.
