Solar Energy - We Can Make It Happen!

Many countries around the world idolize American culture, because we fail to show them the real costs of excessive materialism, the costs of which we have been recently beginning to realize. Instead, we should become role models of honest and balanced living for the rest of the world by making a few changes in the system. First of all, we need to start to seriously prioritize what we invest our money in. Right now, we are wasting billions of dollars on war, when we could use it to fight the battles we could actually succeed in. For example, we should declare “war” for clean energy, especially for solar energy. There is no scarcity of energy; we have a giant nuclear reactor in the sky.

A project like this would create millions of jobs and help resolve the economic crisis. Living in harmony with nature will actually make us more prosperous. It is also essential for us to be an environmental example to developing countries, because if the billions in India and China started to live as materialistically as Americans, the amount of destruction to the environment would destroy our planet and us along with it.

The following plan would solve all of our energy, economic, and pollution problems within a few years.

Declare war for solar energy: The President would make an executive order to build and install enough solar cells to supply all of the US energy needs in two years, and we would probably end up doing it in one year. Even with millions of men out of the country fighting, we were the people that made one B-17 bomber every hour on an assembly line a mile long. Before the war, the factory that did it made cars with a few thousand parts. The four engine flying fortress that was ruling the skies over Europe had over a million parts. We were the guys that made a complete ship from start of finish in four days at just one shipyard. Women were doing a lot of the work. Imagine what we could do now?

We mobilize our manufacturing as we did for World War II to build a new, free and clean energy system. If we could do it during a war, we can do it in peacetime even faster. We form a war department to build it.

Mobilize for peace and prosperity: We build the mile long factories like we used to build planes and ships fast in Would War ll. We built the factories to build the planes and ships in just a few months, and we could do it even faster now.  We build them in different parts of the country that have high unemployment. These factories would be able to spit out miles of inexpensive solar panels every day. Other companies would transport and install them in our country’s deserts and on both sides of our interstate freeways and railroad tracks and on roofs. Putting them next to railroad tracks makes installing and cleaning easy.

Like laying track: We have competitions between companies and give bonuses to the companies that make the most and lay the most solar panels in a day. When we were building the transcontinental railroad, the companies were getting bonuses for every mile of track they laid. This motivated them to build many miles of track a day. We just do something similar for laying solar panels.

We get our defense contractors involved in making it happen.

Pentagon: We get our pentagon involved in the war for free energy, just as we would do for a war. They have the organization skills we will need. It is why it was really created. The pentagon will be used to create a heaven on earth. We handle the whole thing like a military operation. If we do, we can do it fast.

We form thousands of companies to work on different parts of the system in different locations. We start with the thousands of miles of tracks we have in our deserts and other high sunshine locations, and just go from there. At the same time, we install solar panels on every home and factory. Money will not be an issue. The government will supply the hardware and labor. We would be adding millions of watts of free, clean electricity to the power grid everyday by installing miles of solar panels every day. We would just keep doing this until the solar panels supply all of America’s energy needs, then the whole world’s.

At the same time, our automotive industry starts mass-producing inexpensive electric cars to use the inexpensive electricity we will be creating. They will also make natural gas and hydrogen cell vehicles. This will make the struggling auto industry start booming. When we wake up, we will not spend billions retooling to make a different new car every year; we will just make minor improvements to a proven design. This will cut waste and costs related to vehicles in half. It will create more jobs, not less.  Our total economy will start booming and so will the world’s economy, because they will start doing the same thing with our help.

On a smaller scale, we start developing and building the towers, geothermal, windmill, and any other promising technology. Down the road, after we see what is most economical, we gradually replace the less efficient technologies. The government will provide large grants to any company developing promising energy technology and more efficient solar cells, such as nano cell technology.

We go full out on the solar cells, because we know we can do it now.

We just put less proven technologies on the back burner until after we have built a solar cell system using the current proven technology.

This is what we should be investing our money in.  It is a feasible plan that could be carried out right now, and it would solve so many problems that making it a top priority is essential.  A big question raised by this is what would happen with the oil companies.  That is all addressed in the aforementioned book via the link provided above.  The basis is that we should give the oil companies enough incentive to support this plan, such as showing how much profit can be made off of oil when it is not being burned up for fuel.

We could build the system in less than two years, and then we would save more than a half a trillion dollars a year from then on, so why don’t we do it?

What is wrong with creating millions of new, high paying jobs in the USA? 

If we can tap a source of free, clean energy, we should do it now. We should not wait until the technology is as inexpensive as oil. The sooner we do it, the less money we will be just burning up, and the less we will hurt the environment.

Oil companies will make more money: We need to save our oil for making plastics, medicines and other necessary products that are made from oil. Why use it for energy when we can get that for free from the sun?

We are literally burning the most valuable material found on the earth.

Even the rich oil people are going to wake up and realize it would be in their best interest to stop using so much oil for fuel. They are screwing themselves.

Supplying our country’s power needs with solar power would be a huge step forward in building a world that works in harmony with nature.  We can do it, so let’s make it happen.  As president Obama would say:  Yes We Can.

Tell your congressman today, and most importantly, spread the word!
