The perception of having your own Alternative Power Sources is very easy today given the existing technologies. In fact, sailing vessels is one example of Alternative Power Sources used today and has been used since man initially started fishing the oceans. With the global community currently aware of the global warming destruction being made to our planet and the current and long-term effects, we are beginning to realize our very survival is endangered.

Energy is so vital that Nations hoard vast fuel assets for the sole function of going to war to secure supplementary energy sources, but none of these are allocated in support for civilian use.  In the event of a major failure of an energy supply we hold no Alternative Power Sources that can be used as an energy supply replacement in place of the failed supply.

The energy supply we use is produced by consuming Fossil Fuels; this resource supplies the energy supply for transport and electricity in support of our homes and business. The bulk of these energy supply requirements are created from Hydro Electric (dams), Carbon Based Fuels or Nuclear. Each one of these important energy supplies is extremely hostile to the natural environment with Fossil Fuel the number one highest contributor to the Greenhouse effect and Global Warming:

1. Fossil Fuels are used in cars and generating high temperature to be converted to steam power fo

   r electricity generation; Fossil Fuels exhaust Carbon Dioxide Gas the number one cause of Global Warming.

2. Nuclear Electric Power Plants contain a unwanted product of radioactive material with a 500 year half life, in addition the plants are extremely expensive to construct and keep up. As these power plants age we start running an elevated chance of accidents which at the worst set of circumstances would trigger the China Syndrome; the reactor core melting threw the planet crust into the interior core, in this event no one really knows what would take place and I am certainly we do not want to find out.
3. Hydro Power is the cleanest and on the whole the most efficient power source but requires a vast quality and supply of water, a commodity that a lot of Nations do not control.  There are not adequate amounts of rivers or free ground area to be able to generate the greater part of the power demand necessary.

The theory of Global Warming has been in existence for 30 years or better and the need to start using alternative power sources has been acknowledged for a prolonged time, but has been strongly been fought by many members in the Earth Science Community; the majority of the opposition has not been based on Science but rather on research funds to be had from Energy Corporations for research projects and pay-cheques.On the News almost each day we hear of areas affected by weather change and anybody who would deny that these are not a product of Global Warming has either a low education (forgiven) or else is a fool (not forgiven). To not have noticed what has been going on inside the natural environment you would have to be a recluse living in the Russian far north with no communications but you would still have noticed a change in the weather. Humans are like sheep they can be blindly herded and directed to slaughter, we cannot afford the risks to carry on down this path and we must begin switching to Alternative Power Sources immediately.

There are existing Alternative Power Sources that are pollution free and can be used in exchange to these current power supplies, but we are not using them. It is exceedingly easy not to replace our current energy supplier, but why would we keep on sending pollution into the air when we can be using clean one of these Alternative Power Sources?

Homes are the largest consumers of Electric Energy and Electric Power is the second largest contributor of Carbon Dioxide next to transportation. Discovering one of the Alternative Power Sources and making our homes into self sufficient in the consumption of Electricity is the initial and easiest step to stopping Global Warming. An Alternative Power Source System in 2006 typical cost $500usd; this has become much smaller with the integration of modern equipment as well as becoming more efficient in Electric Energy output. Depending on the Alternative Power Sources selected the yearly cost of maintenance normally runs less than $125 for every year and each fifth year and normal upgrade cost of $200, this is a lot less then what you are now paying monthly to your Electric Provider. The main benefit to switch and using one of the Alternative Power Sources is the achievement in reduction of the Carbon Dioxide Gases by using a pollution free energy supply system.

We are approaching a point in time of self destruction – this is not like nuking a small obscure country but very similar to a worldwide epidemic. We must change what we are doing and with a small effort convert our home to becoming pollution free. You can find more detailed information on the 3 main pollution free Alternative Power Sources systems website. D.M. Fisher has worked in the energy field for 20 years, and writes many articles on home power system that you can find on this and other sites.
