HELP ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Consider leasing a vehicle that has been converted to operate on American Made Hydrogen and/or Hy-Boost fuels.

Refuel at our TESI (Total Energy System Innovation) fuel station. TESIs operate on hydrogen and/or pipeline delivery of methane from anaerobic disposal of sewage, garbage, farm wastes, or forest slash but can also utilize natural gas to provide safety assured delivery of pressurized Hydrogen or Hy-Boost mixtures. Each fuel station weighs about 25 tons is about 11' wide, 10' high and 26' long and will be painted the colors your neighborhood prefers. We deliver and connect to pipeline for turn-key operation.

 

Donate under-utilized vehicles with directions to convert them to operation on Hydrogen and/or Hy-Boost mixtures of hydrogen and other fuels. Converted engines can produce more power, last longer and actually clean the air. Take the tax deduction, help create a renewable hydrogen market for farmers and other entrepreneurs, and have your donated vehicle clean the air.

How converting to a Solar Hydrogen Economy help our economic troubles

Here is the Grand Plan!
Do you know what the next big boom is going to be? Hydrogen!

First of all, we need to change our way of thinking … we need to know and believe that saving the environment is the key to helping future generations have the economic development necessary to “get ahead in a healthy economy.” It is a virtue -- like eating fruits and vegetables to ward off cancer. Americans want to be optimistic as we proceed into the future. We must adopt policies that allow us to be healthy and productive.

But it is futile to allow our economy to remain dependent upon diminishing fossil and radioactive fuels. Continued dependence upon fossil and radioactive fuels will require higher taxes and more federal debt to pay the costs including subsidies that these fuels receive. Even so energy, healthcare, education, and food costs are rising, and we are left with less power to “get ahead” by investing for “progress.”

My Dad keeps reminding me that I and every other person on Earth has a mission and that Civilization must have a Grand Plan to unite us in a cause to achieve Sustainable Prosperity. He has a plan for every community of the world to achieve sustainable prosperity. According to him, every person on Earth has a job to accomplish sustainable prosperity and to do less is a form of self-destruction.

The one thing that is a common denominator to all aspects of life on Earth particularly including our economy is energy. It is imperative that far larger, more distributed, and sustainable supplies of solar, wind, wave, falling water, geothermal, and biomass resources replace present dependency on diminishing supplies of fossil resources.

Shifting to full employment to overcome our dependence upon fossil and radioactive fuels can actually produce anti-inflationary benefits. It will allow us to overcome our guilt for literally robbing fossil resources and polluting the Earth.

Not to get off course, but going to war with Iraq, has caused great damage to our economy and our self-esteem. The US didn’t want to increase taxes to fight that war … so we borrowed that money. As Alan Greenspan admitted, we paid the military costs for going after Iraq’s oil reserves of 112 billion barrels, because we are addicted to oil, and because the oil lobby wanted the U.S. military might to secure these resources so oil companies could set new records for profits.

But notice that every barrel of oil from Iraq has cost more than $111 per barrel in military expenses plus interest on borrowed funds, plus additional untold costs for environmental degradation and health care for pollution-induced diseases along with the market price of another $100 for the ill-gotten barrel of oil.

The harsh reality is that oil dependence is killing our environment, our economy, and our self-esteem.

They already pull strings to direct the most powerful military on the planet and some day soon, the fossil and radioactive fuel industries will have the industrial military complex try to completely take over. Our recent monetary crises pale in comparison to this potential demise of democracy. My Mom talks about it and it shakes me to the core. I often wonder if my family is the only one that talks about this looming problem, because it’s really hard to find anyone that cares. We have become so accustomed to our prolonged addiction to the oil economy that it hard to imagine the “pushers” kicking us out of our homes and cars. Just think about everything you do and how it takes oil to do it. Now imagine your life without oil …. Farms could not produce. Trucks could not move food and fiber to market. We would not have food on our tables or clothes to wear.

What we have today is a wealth-depletion economy. The harder we work, the less oil we have, and the further we go in debt because we are dependent upon a finite source. We and every other community must urgently develop sustainable energy supplies.

Do you remember the TV show called The Six Million Dollar Man with Lee Majors playing Steve Austin as the astronaut that needed to be re-built after his craft crashed? "Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

Ladies and Gentlemen, we can rebuild the economy. We have the technology. We have the capability to build a worldwide solar hydrogen economy. It will take everybody. It will be better than before. Better, cleaner, sustainable.

My Dad, Roy McAlister, wrote a book called The Solar Hydrogen Civilization. It’s a great book about being civilized and uniting to save Civilization by devoting our minds and might to development of worldwide prosperity. You should read it, because it is my hope that we can, and our children and all the children of the world can work together to achieve such a Grand Plan.

It is far better to direct our hearts and minds to creating sustainable prosperity than processing poppies, brewing methamphetamines, remaining hooked on oil, or expanding prisons and sending armies to keep hooked.

Suppose we all try and only achieve sustainable economic development and fall short of prosperity but we have clean air and water, food to eat, and the feeling of, at least, that much accomplishment.

Suppose succeeding generations build on our example and continue the effort to achieve prosperity. Isn’t that far better than expanding our prisons and waging wars for the diminishing oil reserves?

With hydrogen, of course! (It's the answer to everything).

American made hydrogen will provide the jobs Americans need and the confidence to buy American made cars and trucks that clean the air and last longer. It will inspire our government to print currency to buy hydrogen from farmers and other entrepreneurs and store it in depleted oil and natural gas formations and then resell it to distribution and retail entrepreneurs at a margin that supplies enough income to allow income taxes to be abolished.

But first, let me tell you how we got to this conclusion ….

About a month ago, I called my Dad and told him my latest idea about buying an auto dealership that had unexpectedly closed their doors. The dealership was big and they were closing thirteen car dealerships across the nation due to "adverse economic conditions, high gasoline prices and their traditional product mix.”

I told him that the dealership would be perfect. We could convert cars to run on hydrogen and sell hydrogen fuel at dealership stations right off the freeways.

To my surprise, I actually heard my Dad laugh out loud at my idea. It was one of those …. good to hear your idea laughs, but I wish he would have said Right On. Now, I’ve been telling him ideas on how to fund the Solar Hydrogen Economy since I was in third grade and I’ve never heard him outright laugh at one of them. He is usually much more polite. But I suppose I’m due, because I’ve been known to laugh at his ideas.

Take the time he answered my question about why the Big Three automakers hadn’t accepted his proposals to manufacture cars that use hydrogen. His answer was, “Well, we can buy their stocks and go to our board meeting and convince them that converting to hydrogen is what they should do. And if they resist we will ask other stock holders to give us proxies to vote out the board and bring in one that will earn more profits by making cars that can interchangeably use renewable hydrogen, methane, fuel alcohols, or conventional fossil fuel.”

I nervously laughed out loud at the idea, because we don’t have enough money to buy stock and hire the public relations firms to convince other stock holders to change management. And that’s probably the reason why my Dad traded me a laugh at the notion of buying a bunch of auto dealerships.

“Besides,” my Dad went on to say, “You would probably have to become a qualified owner/dealer-operator of a Chevrolet “franchise" by applying to General Motors and that would take a lot of money.”

“Well, why would that be so bad?” I asked naively. “Isn’t that the same thing as getting proxies to elect a new board? Wouldn’t we be able to tell them that we would like to sell hydrogen cars?”

And this, my friends, led me to think about how Chevrolet, Ford, and GM can get out of financial trouble. Instead of asking for bailout money or going bankrupt, they should be asking for Green money ….to build green dealerships that would convert already sold vehicles to run on hydrogen at their dealerships by their qualified mechanics.

And when we take our cars into the green dealerships to be converted to run on hydrogen, they can fix all of our other issues that might be wrong with the car, and if the customer doesn’t have the money, they can finance the conversion, perhaps even get a tax write off. Or perhaps be convinced to buy a brand new hydrogen car!

It’s time to save our auto makers and dealerships by offering what the public wants. New and used vehicles that clean the air by using American made hydrogen and other clean renewable fuels. The auto industry doesn't need a bailout, they need help building the cars of the future!

Dad says the best thing Americans can do to get started is to lease a car that can use hydrogen interchangeably with the original fuel as suggested by the American Hydrogen Association request for citizen action to Help Achieve American Energy Independence. And that's what I'm trying to do ... laugh all you want!

What’s the problem with nuclear and coal?

The real problem is that we should have started renewable energy a long time ago.

The problem is that we did not make a plan to overcome the problems that are caused by large-scale use of fossil and radioactive fuels. We should have invested in large-scale renewable energy projects a long time ago.

The argument that is made to continue with our current nuclear program goes something like this. Nuclear energy currently supplies the United States with 20% of its electrical energy. They say that renewable energy like solar, wind, and hydroelectric farms aren’t up to speed to cover that 20%. So, if we got rid of nuclear power plants, then coal, gas, and oil plants would have to increase their supplies to cover the 20%, which would create more sulfur dioxide, mercury, and nitrogen oxide and everyone knows that adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere is bad news.

So, why didn’t we build adequate renewable energy projects way back when before the first nuclear power plant was built fifty years ago? Why did the government choose to subsidize for nuclear programs over renewable energy? Why is more than $100 billion per year provided in government benefits for coal, oil, natural gas and radioactive fuels but there isn’t enough money for making America energy independent with renewable energy? Why do political candidates and business leaders advocate policies for increased dependence upon annually burning fossil coal, oil, and natural gas that required more than a million years to accumulate? Follow the money to answer these questions.

For that 20% of energy that the nuclear power plants provide us, we now get to store the nuclear waste, which will cost us more by far than that 20% of energy that we received. What will happen to the 132 million pounds of radioactive waste that is currently being stored in temporary facilities among 121 sites across thirty-nine states? Nobody wants to permentally store nuclear waste in his or her state, especially not Nevada, where it was designed to go. The government has already spent $10 billion dollars in developmental costs to make Yucca Mountain in Nevada the home to this waste … waste that is growing by 2,000 metric tons per year. And here is another problem … even if Yucca Mountain accepted the waste, by the year 2012; there won’t be any more room to accept more nuclear waste.

It’s not too late to get renewable energy up to speed. In fact, we have to make it work. See, the American people don’t want to build any more nuclear power plants, which is a good thing. But, our current nuclear power plants are becoming old and we certainly don’t want to renew their licenses and allow them to operate beyond their intended life expectancy. Nor do we want to increase our dependence on fossil fuels. Everyday our energy needs expand. We should have developed renewable energy a long time ago. We cannot wait any longer. I urge you to learn about the Solar Hydrogen Economy.

Coal burning by power plants is the largest contributor of greenhouse gases. During the last 100 years “killer fog” and “smog deaths” have been documented in Asian, European, and North American cities from coal burning. Mercury and other heavy metal poisoning of fisheries and other food supplies now causes pregnant mothers to avoid tuna and other predatory fish high enough in the food chain to receive more concentrated doses of what their prey accumulates.

Do you want to hear something really silly? Several nuclear companies have sued the federal government. They want to be paid for the cost of storing their own waste. Millions of dollars have already been rewarded in settlement fees. And over the next decade, it’s expected that more nuclear companies are going to sue the federal government for hundreds of millions of dollars. Do you know who pays for that? You do. I do. Our kids will. We have already paid for Yucca Mountain, which isn’t being used and now you are paying again. It is particularly exasperating to notice how nuclear-power advocates somehow fail to report that a new nuclear power plant requires enormous amounts of coal, oil, and natural gas to mine, calcine, refine, transport, construct, and operate nuclear power plants.

Nuclear and coal power plants transfer wealth from middleclass electricity users to power plant owners but cause the middleclass large untold ongoing costs due to health problems and climate changes along with inflation due to the depletion of finite resources. We should have advanced large-scale renewable energy plants a long time ago to produce electricity and/or hydrogen without pollution or such economic inflation.

Here is some good news: Arizona could be creating far more wealth than Saudi Arabia by harnessing abundant solar energy. A relatively small portion of Arizona between Phoenix, Yuma, and Tucson could be supplying more electricity and hydrogen than all the fossil and nuclear energy now used in Mexico, USA, and Canada but the government advocates increased dependence upon coal and nuclear power plants. Similar renewable solar and/or wind energy opportunities exist in Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, California, Alaska, and the plains of North America so why are we building more coal and nuclear power plants?

We are about to pay again for more nuclear power plants as Congress assures the American people that they are concerned about global warming and dwindling natural gas supplies and for those reasons they want to build 34 new nuclear reactors at 23 sites. But, there's no money for large-scale renewable energy.


Why do you think we haven't switch to renewable energy? Or said another way, why aren't we doing renewable energy on a much larger scale?
Here is a video from the Sierra Club about coal. You have got to watch this one! It is so awesome ...
