Yes, I most certainly can see the logic in this. Our greatest power source is at the center of our Universe. Earth’s Sun has the power to light up this planet many, many times over! We have enough desert lands to allow fossil fuels to stay in the Earth, where they belong, and simply let the solar giant in our sky bring us all the power we need.

We have the technology, and solar energy can eliminate so much of the pollution which occurs through the harvesting of fossil fuels, which in turn is creating havoc with the Earth’s natural environment. Humans have clearly failed in their attempts to harness a planet that already has a built in system which was designed to allow the planet to grow without humankinds clumsy interference. Our integrity is surely lacking if we do not allow ourselves to become responsible stewards of such a wonderfully beautiful living planet, as our Mother Earth.

I am actually quite suprised that Solar power has not yet been implemented around the world, as our main power source, long before now. I believe this option has been on the table long enough, and we need to move forward into the 21st Century with some positive improvements in our lifestyles. Green is the color of living growing things, and the Earth’s Sun is what places the power of green all around us. It is about time we stop talking about it, and take positive action to reverse the damage, and promote new growth.

Alternative energy is what makes us cool in the modern age. Let’s create a good image for those looking at us from other parts of the Universe, and set some good examples, for the young ones so they will actually WANT to follow in our footsteps where some things are concerned.

Here is an interesting article called “What’s stopping us getting solar power from deserts?” written by Mark Jansen, that I would like to pass along.

If we can get past our self imposed price barrier, and allow technology to help us build some mega power grids, and share the vast amount of solar energy available to us, well then we will be well on our way. Check out the article, and then ask yourself what you can do to help this ideal solution move from dream to reality.

Following upon the heels of my last post, I would say this particular subject is only fitting. I am a strong believer in utilizing the power of Nature, in safe and intelligent ways, always keeping the Balance in mind. With such powerful resources available from the elements of Nature, such as Air, Water,  and Solar, it stands to reason we should actively explore our options to live clean and healthy lives. The natural abundance of these truly amazing elements should lead such intelligent beings, as we humans imagine ourselves to be, to greater depths of study of natural sciences. Who needs resources which pollute the planet and destroys our ecosystems, when the Creator has provided us with everything we need, if we just open our eyes?

Our family and friends are dedicated to re-learning how to live in Balance with Nature. As such, we are learning how to grow our own foods, studying herb lore and wilderness survival, as well as how to travel through nature as softly as possible so as not to disturb the Balance. Also, we are keenly interested in how to build our homes with the Power of Nature in mind.

It is so very important to the health of this planet and her inhabitants to find the cleanest sources of power. The ebb and flow of our Ocean tides are efficient, consistent, clean and free. Empty of emissions, carbons or combustibles, the currents created by the tides can provide a conscious alternative to the fossil fuels that now power most of our electrical needs.

Until now, the potential of the tides and the gravitational lunar pull upon them has remained relatively untapped. That’s where Florida Keys Hydropower Research Corporation steps up to make a difference.

Keys Hydro Power is a Florida alternative energy company providing clean power from tidal turbines. This non profit environmental project uses water power as a clean renewable energy source.

Integrating action into awareness, Keys Hydro Power will reduce human-caused sources of global climate change by working with nature to harness an environmentally viable form of energy—through the research, development and implementation of tidal current turbines in the Florida Keys. By producing a clear, feasible concept and demonstrating its success, Florida Keys Hydro Power (a nonprofit Florida corporation) will generate power from tidal turbines to feed local electric grids.

The results will create both a local and global impact, propelling others to explore this sustainable form of alternative energy. This is NOT a new concept, as the Ancients knew how to utilize this form of clean power which our waters so generously provide. Now, isn’t that just what those of us who are in tune with Nature are looking to revive? It gives me hope for a better future for our generations and the Earth. Just imagine the possibilities…

I would like to share a message from the President of Florida Keys Hydro, Douglas Bedgood…

“Nature intended coal, gas, and oil to be buried forever. They represent death and decomposition, dead vegetation from old swamps under pressure for millions of years. These carbon fossil compositions we use for fuel also represent death today. There is death to the land above the open pit coal mines, poor health and death to the mine workers, death to the atmosphere after combustion, death to nature’s life support systems that took millions of years to develop, and eventually death to the fragile organic skin of our host planet.”

Have you ever wondered how you can create a beautiful and enchanting atmoshpere, or to just accent your home or garden with decorative lighting? There are so many ways to brighten up your living or work space with a few well placed LED rope lights. Now that I know how environmentally friendly these LED’s are, I can definately think of dozens of great ideas to add a bit of decorative flare to my own living space and to give that special touch to any occasion. Not to mention, what a great idea to light up those dark spaces that are hard to negotiate through safely during the night. Imagine the Beauty we can create!

LEDs typically use about 90% less energy than their incandescent counterparts and last up to 20 times as long. For example, a 1 foot stand of LED rope light consumes about 1 watt of power while a comparable incandescent strand consumes 7.5 watts. LED rope lighting will also last for more than 50,000 hours and also generates very little heat so it is much safer.

LED rope lights are becoming very popular for permanent home and business accent and decorative lighting. LED rope lights typically come in round or square strands with approximately 12 LEDs per foot and is available in a wide variety of colors including Warm White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red and Pure White. The LEDs are encased in a flexible and moisture-proof clear plastic that allows for easy installation around decks, bars, coves, building outlines, and similar locations. The efficient LED string lights use so little power a homeowner could illuminate 2,000 lights for 8 hours each day for an entire year and only spend about $47 on electricity.

A LED rope light Professional grade 120 Volt LED rope light is incredibly flexible, brilliant, long lasting, colorful, and dimmable. Sold in bulk and can be cut to length. Great for sculpture decoration, building outlines, step lighting, handrails, displays, window and architectural highlighting, decks, patios, gazebos, boats, RVs, and much more. The connectors and clips are included, so just decorate and go!

It is time to recycle those old bulbs and move right on into the future of home, business, and recreational decorating with LED rope lights.

 There is much to be said about harnessing the Power of Nature in creating renewable energy. Our Ancient ancestors knew how to use these powerful resources to make life easier, and create a balance between humans and nature. It truly makes sense to allow Nature to assist us in life, instead of wantonly harvesting resources that create havoc on the ecosystem, as well as causing serious health issues to humans and animals. The power of the Wind can be harnessed to create a clean source of energy at a very low cost. The power of the Sun is being used as well, in many ways, to provide energy. In combining Science with Nature we are paving the way for innovative ways to create energy sources, with many uses, ensuring a healthy planet for future generations.

I love searching for information on Ancient Civilizations… this is a great fascination for me. I feel strongly that a lot of knowledge has been lost, through one disaster or another, and through diligent research we can regain some of this precious knowledge. We can learn not only from our mistakes, yet from studying ancient techniques, and applying this with the help of modern technology. Seriously, so much is being discovered that points to a level of technology in our past that actually surpasses what we know now.
