Solar Energy Reviews

The U.S. should be independent of foreign oil imports, the world must halt global warming and world economies must continue to grow.

U.S. Only can take the initiative and can convince other nations that emissions of greenhouse gases may be arrested, while economies become more prosperous. Without U.S. leadership, the world overheats irreversible in the next fifty years. U.S. Only has the financial resources, the merits of the technology and management skills to embark on an ambitious program.

First, we must be realistic and accept some immutable facts. Implementation of a comprehensive energy plan of a great country like ours will take a long time. We must accept that the implementation of any plan to have at least twenty to thirty years.

Second, we must take responsibility for emissions, we have sent into the atmosphere for a century of burning fossil fuels prodigious amounts of and the production of more than a quarter of all emissions of greenhouse gases past.

Third, the plan must end our dependence on fuel fossils in all imports from foreign countries and must begin to end our debt to countries that manipulate markets.

Fourth, we must demand that the national energy providers learn to produce abundant quantities affordable and secure energy from renewable sources in exchange for financial support and loan guarantees.

And last but not least, we have to install technologies and infrastructure will be able to provide our country with abundant energy for centuries to come.

We understand that our efforts will require large amounts of capital. However, we use these investments to create long-term, profitable revenue. We will build and install the plants, once commissioning, power generation during all the time from fifty to eighty years. During this long period of operation, these plants will produce revenue streams that pay a fair amount of interest return initial investment and will continue to generate investment income in the coming decades. From engineering, manufacture, installation and operation, these plants to millions of people in well paying jobs, jobs that never need to be exported.

What do we do? We construct the facility that in one day in the future we will end all of the combustion of fossil fuels in our own country. Fossil fuels are mainly used in two applications, generate electricity to light our homes, to cool the buildings, to power a host of appliances, machinery and communications equipment, and produce a dazzling array of consumer, commercial and industrial. Also the use of electricity to power trains, and may eventually power cars.

Most transport teams can not use electricity. Cars, trucks, trains, ships and aircraft more effective use of high quality, fuel fluids. Liquid fuels have the highest energy density and can be stored aboard ships and aircraft allowed to cross oceans.

In the past, electric power generation has been based on coal, natural gas, hydropower and nuclear power. Coal and combustion of natural gas must be arrested and fossil fuel energy must be replaced by renewable energy from sunlight, wind, marine and geothermal energy. These technologies are much needed in the early stages of industrial introduction and replace fossil fuel based power generation due time.

Replacing imported oil with homegrown, "" replacement will be harder to achieve. Because we have to stop all fossil fuels to prevent global warming, we can convert coal, oil shale or natural gas to produce gasoline or diesel, which technically is quite feasible.

Instead, we must learn to convert biomass into petroleum substitutes. There are several processes that can accomplish this feat. However, the work becomes more complex by the recent realization that the world is large enough farmland for forest maintenance and food a world of increasing population.

Only a single option for growing sufficient quantities of organic carbon recycling, we must grow the biomass with a high energy yield in arid areas with high solar radiation, should apply the novel, industrial agricultural techniques for cultivation and harvest, and must produce water for irrigation on the site.

These industrial plantations must be enormous and must be highly mechanized. Only then will possible installation of chemical processing plants at the site and produce a fluid pumpable feedstock for further processing in refineries Advanced oil continuously.

There are great benefits of this approach, we will have unlimited renewable fuels for our fleet of cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes. Oil refineries can keep working, and huge distribution systems for supply of liquid fuels worldwide is to continue operations unchanged.

Best of all, the U.S. has a lot of arid lands to the steady production of abundant and affordable fuel for transporting liquids. It seems entirely possible the production of renewable biofuels and make them a substitute for oil around forty dollars a barrel. At that price you can still use our existing transportation infrastructure.

We need to focus future energy development efforts in four areas of technology, innovative power storage technologies, plant breeding high-yield energy, chemical conversion of biotic matter oil substitutes and substitutes for petroleum refining gasoline, diesel and jet fuels.

The U.S. has the means and the mind to be success in these efforts. All we need is the political will of the U.S. prosperous and powerful again.
