European environmentalists have made energy independence impossible

April 08, 2022 -

(Article by Daniel Lacalle republished from Mises.org)

Solar and wind do not reduce dependency on Russian natural gas. They are necessary but volatile and intermittent. They need backup from nuclear, hydro, and natural gas for security of energy supply. Dependency on these backup sources rises in periods of low wind and little sun, just when prices are highest.

“Solar goes to zero for twelve hours a day, and that is guaranteed. The wind blows sometimes, and sometimes ...

Achieving Energy Independence - One Step at a Time

a long time ago - energy independence; he's a professional engineer, a specialist in alternate energy applications, and - most importantly - he's done it himself; he lives in a large home that embodies his philosophy. The book reflects this wealth of knowledge and experience.

You should know that at least 90% of this book, and perhaps more, is centered around electricity production through the use of solar panels. Wind generators are mentioned, but only briefly - as in a few paragraphs, ...

Hemp: the versatile biofuel that could save America’s energy independence

August 24, 2016 -

But what could likely end up being hemp's most valuable tool is its ability to work as a biofuel.

Considering how dangerously quickly the planet is running out of its natural resources, it's incredibly important that we establish a new method of renewable energy production before we completely run out of fossil fuels.

Knowledge of Hemp's ability to potentially solve this issue dates back to the 1930s, when Henry Ford developed a car that ran entirely on 100% hemp ...
