Outdated Lawmakers Cause An Outdated Power Grid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is that many of our “law-makers” are also old and antiquated, and are struck in a way of thinking that is decades too outdated.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.

Protecting Our Power Grids

Solar StormsSun

On March 8, 2013, the biggest solar storm in five years hit the Earth. Two days earlier on March 6, two solar flares erupted from the surface of the sun, sending a wave of plasma and charged particles traveling at speeds of 4 million mph toward Earth. Humans cannot stop the effects of intense solar radiation and geomagnetic storms affecting the Earth, but we can do something about our power grids and satellites floating in its path.

Grid The Future

The right choice for our future is to change how we “grid our future.”  In order to preserve our modern lifestyle, countries worldwide are hanging on to the old ways of powering our technological dependancies, but with Earth changes increasing,  this will never work.  It’s time to tap into the many forms of free energy, and just think of all the jobs that will be generated when we change the present grid. It’s a win-win situation.

Humans put price tags on the Earth for personal gain profit.

Our Antiquated Energy Monopolies

Going Underground

Electric power and power lines fueled by petroleum are antiquated, but at the very least, “this grid” needs to go underground instead of remaining overhead. Underground cables take up less space than overhead lines, and they are less affected by bad weather and solar storms. Underground lines do not provide the immense pull on power loads, but these forms of electricity should NEVER be our only source of power. With the amount of free energy on this planet, humans worldwide should be using several different forms of energy – all at the same time. If one goes down, then another is still on-line. And, this prevents energy monopolies.

By adopting a new view of the Earth, humanity can move into the future in the right direction.

Moving Into A Better Future

Plugging Into Nature’s Grid

As we experience more natural disasters and solar storms, tapping into different, and safer, forms of energy is the way into the future. The Earth has provided unlimited free energy for all life on this planet – geothermal, wind, solar, water, and magnetic energy. There are enough alternative resources to support everyone and everything when we take the price tags off our antiquated system.

It’s time to plug into Nature’s grid.
