The path to peace

[whosinpower]

Energy - it is all around us, we need it, we exploit it, we use it. Wars have been waged, won and lost over energy.

In this era we see the last vestiges of morality being stripped away in a bid to control the worlds last great oilfields in Iraq. And all of this is for energy....for our economy, our lifestyle to maintain itself. Some (Bushco) would have us believe that the war in Iraq is the central front on the war on terror....but let us be brutally honest with ourselves - if Iraq did not have vast oilfields - there would of been no war. If the US was not so entrenched in meddling in other nations affairs, there would not be the grave threat of terrorism we see today. And the war for freedom is only pretty words meant to placate our sensibilities of maintaining the status quo in regards to our ever increasing appetite for oil. But we all know it is a dead end street we are going down - the oil will not last forever.

Humanity needs to think far far outside the box if we are to survive as a species. There is only one path to peace. It was technology that gave the US its edge worldwide and it is technology that may give the world a chance at real peace. Not only do we need alternative energy - we need decentralized energy - so that every man, woman and child would be able to maintain their own energy needs without the ever powerful corporations lobbying to send US troops around the world to protect their "interests".
Can you visualize for a moment every single home equipped with a generator that would not only maintain each household's needs, but provide enough energy to maintain transportation needs as well....
And then go one step further, and provide that same technology to third world nations.

It is possible. And I believe the technology is much closer than our government would have us believe - for they NEED us to be dependant - it is the only way to maintain control....There is much talk about hydrogen, but the costs of splitting the H2O into hydrogen and oxygen take more energy than the hydrogen provides - this is what we are told - which is why they talk about using fossil fuels to harvest the hydrogen....but there is a better way if only the DESIRE was there to develop it.

So...what are we waiting for you may ask???? Leadership.....we wait for the right sort of leader willing to RADICALLY question the status quo. We wait for the right leader with the vision to make this reality.....I am still waiting......but not so patiently. My next home will be offgrid and selfsustainable.
