Outdated Lawmakers Cause An Outdated Power Grid

Our power grid is antiquated beyond its limits.

Here’s a reality check when the power goes off – life must go on and we all need to figure how to get around our very old and out-dated power grid.

I am NOT political but I am merely identifying a root source of our problems, which is that many of our “law-makers” are also old and antiquated, and are struck in a way of thinking that is decades too outdated.

Here’s one good example of how we are not keeping up with what’s really going on … we are NOT going into global warming but we are turning into a Mini Ice Age based on the solar cycle and a weakening magnetic field.

We needed to begin alternative energies decades ago, but our legislators did not invest in it.

Many of our law-makers are as old and antiquated as their energy solutions.

It is not wise to just stop using oil and gas or clean coal until we have used it to help make a transition into better alternative powers. Did you know that the electric grid runs off oil? Windmills require oil. Hydroelectric runs off oil.

Eventually we must move from oil to another source, such as plasma or steam, but we have not prepared for a transition like this yet. Wind and solar cannot handle our power grid needs alone. The windmills are shut off right now because the blades are covered in ice.

We must introduce other advanced energies such as plasma and geo-thermal, but again our law-makers are old and out-dated and do not think progressively.

GLOBAL DIFFERENCES

Every location on the planet is different and requires different energy solutions.

Learn all that you can about alternative energy but also recognize that we must adopt different alternatives locally/depending on where you live – there is NO global system or “one solution that fits everyone” because every place/latitude/ecosystem on our planet is different and requires different solutions.

Some countries use hydro-electric power, some solar, some wind, some geo-thermal – the country of Iceland is 97% powered by geothermal from its volcanos.

Global humans haven’t even tried new energies yet because politics has gotten in our way. Times like now are ripe for new inventions – not lock-downs and Brown-Outs. These are antiquated solutions to a progressing problem – it’s time to get with real future solutions.

Stay positive and think like a prepper for a better future!!  

Hint: When Spring comes, consider making a garden, no matter how small – it’s time to return to some basics again.
