>The new age of environmental rescue is at hand. It’s clear when one observes history that civilizations oftentimes bring themselves to the brink of destruction before they will embrace change.

 

One of the main areas of contention is our use of resources and the need to adapt to solar power systems that will eliminate the current destruction and harm we are doing to our environment.

We can see the damage that the burning of fossil fuels has done and we, as a species, have it within our power to undo it. The earth is wonderfully able to rebound from this crisis as it has with every previous crisis. Not every species, or civilization for that matter, has been able to bring itself back from the brink, but we can.

Here’s how we can begin to make the positive climate changes we need to rejuvenate the earth.

• It is a priority to recognize and address the high rates of carbon release into our atmosphere which at the present levels and higher will cause much suffering for future generations. For the most part this means by the burning of fossil fuels. We need to find alternative forms of energy to power our motor vehicles. Many promising technologies for powering vehicles currently exist and are being further developed by the day; whether it be solar, Hydrogen cell, biodiesel, or electric, all are more environmentally conscious than gasoline.

Also on the list of ‘have to go’ practices, is the burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity. Luckily for us, this one is going to be easier for the average person.

• Technological advances in the science and efficiency of solar power systems, has made it really cost effective for most people to consider a solar power installation either on their home or nearby. This will allow the homeowner to begin taking the burden off the dirty energy generators and will have the added benefit of financial savings for the homeowner.
• After the installation of an initial panel, more can be added, compounding the energy savings the larger the array grows. With the necessary investment in energy efficient appliances and possibly the development of either a solar heating system using hot water circulated through your home, or the installation of a geothermal system, the homeowner will have the ability to get completely off the grid.

Most of us, however, would like to have the safety net of knowing, that if our system experiences difficulty, such as too many cloudy days in succession, we could still call on the grid to keep us going. The use and application of a small wind turbine is recommended.

The option of utilizing net metering through your utility company is still the best option. Imagine how wonderful it would be if our solar power system was able to generate enough surplus electricity to send back out to those who cannot, for whatever reason, develop energy self-sufficiency. Our efforts and endeavours to address all of these environmental concerns will help to preserve and improve this current predicament that we all face today.
