The three:
Solar Energy
Hydrogen Energy
Human Energy
As human beings harness Solar Energy (which includes Wind Power) the cost/benefit ratio will increase and that ratio is currently at approximately 200 percent.
A cost/benefit ratio of 200 percent is easily enough to accelerate the growth of industry harnessing Solar Energy to a state of oversupply.
If you do not understand the meaning of what I say (even if my English is not perfect), then, ask questions – please. How can I be more polite without becoming unbecoming a proud and confident human being (I am not a slave to anyone)?
As Energy currency reaches oversupply the costs of Energy Currency reach zero.
There are current advancements in Solar Energy Technology that will increase the cost/benefit ratio well beyond 200 percent, where, an investment of 100 units if ‘cost’ will produce more than 300 units of ‘cost’.
Again – currently the cost/benefit ratio is sufficient to accelerate the industry into a state of oversupply and at that point Electric Energy will near the cost of zero.
Solar Energy (as a source of Electric Energy) currently competes with, at least, three major competitors as human beings apply industry toward creating Electric Energy (which is then used to eliminate the need for an abundance of human labor = a subset of human energy).
Solar Energy competitors:
1. Coal
2. Uranium
3. Natural Gas
I’ve read studies comparing the cost/benefit ratios between the major competitors and without fail (yet) those studies gloss over an important calculation.
The studies calculate the costs of bringing up the infrastructure into a state of production and then calculate the rate of production for that industry. The studies fail to account for the fact that Solar Power Plants (once built) do not require a steady supply of fuel being shipped into the plant. Is that not an important calculation?
It is an important calculation. Coal, Natural Gas, and Uranium Electric Plants must be constantly fed with more and more Coal, Natural Gas, and Uranium to produce Electricity. Without more and more Coal, Natural Gas, and Uranium flowing through the industry there won’t be another Watt of Electricity supplied to the Grid – not one more Watt.
How much Human Labor must be applied to all the other industries (including industries supplying food, water, and the removal of waste) if Coal, Natural Gas, and Uranium stops flowing?
On the other hand: In as little as 15 years time every working (capable of producing wealth) person on the planet could be producing their own electric current demanded by each working person (without needing to purchase coal, natural gas, or uranium) without borrowing one dime, and, armed with a means of borrowing (without usury interest) the population of the planet could be producing double their current demand for electricity (and selling their oversupply to pay off their loans) to anyone who continues to demand more electricity.
Again – when the supply of Energy Currency reaches oversupply, then, the cost reaches zero. That happens, in physics, because an abundant supply of energy reduces the costs of production which brings me to the production of electric powered vehicles currently on the market.
The drive (demand) for electric power vehicles is driven by Human Energy in the form of intelligence, where, human beings know right from wrong, good from bad, economically valid from economically invalid – calculation.
People are learning. Currently the market for electric powered vehicles is a market driven by falsehood. In the effort to reduce losses (costs) assumed by the oil and vehicle industries during the phase out of petroleum driven vehicles and toward the electric power driven vehicles the suppliers of oil and petroleum driven vehicles are generating falsehood.
Example:
There is no logical reason to produce any vehicle other than an electric powered vehicle.
An increase in the supply of electric powered vehicles will increase the demand for electric power produced at each individual consumer’s base of operations (home or business).
I’m speaking of an economic market adjustment that is turning and will accelerate as soon as the current level of falsehood is defeated and replaced with a more current level of accurate information flowing through the world economy.
There is no logical reason to proceed in half steps and half measures like “Hybrid” cars and “Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars”, other than, the logic of conserving the profits of the oil and petroleum fueled car industries.
An immediate change from petroleum to electric powered vehicle production will transform the human experiment from a DOOMED species toward a prosperous species.
Half measures merely transfer the costs of the waste from the managers of those industries (it is their responsibility) to the consumers (who have to pay for these horrible decisions) at rates of ‘cost’ that exceed any reasonable measure; think in terms of individual human beings being tortured and groups of human beings being murdered.
Moving on to Hydrogen power:
Second to Solar power (physical supply), is Hydrogen power (not counting the Hydrogen supply in the Sun) and this supply of energy is stored in water. Hydrogen energy cannot compete, currently, with solar power (or coal, natural gas, and uranium) because the demand for electricity is not yet accelerated by the increase in the supply of electric powered vehicles. Once the supply of electric powered vehicles increase and therefore the demand for greater supplies of electricity (Solar wins easily over coal, natural gas, and uranium) increases, once that inevitably happens, there will be an increase in the demand for a means of storing excess production of electricity.
Hydrogen energy is a method of storing excess electric energy production.
This is abundantly clear to anyone armed with a reasonable intelligence and accurate information.
Example:
Currently the industries producing electricity produce enough electricity to meet the demand at ‘peak hour’ rates. Do you understand this?
At peak hour rates the demand for electricity is very high (summer time in a big city when everyone is using electricity to cool food, homes, businesses, etc) and know this to be true.
What happens during hours when the demand falls off to a minimum?
Do the electric producers produce peak output all the time?
No. The production of electricity lowers as the demand for electricity lowers because electricity is a use it or lose it source of energy.
Now; imagine what would happen if the producers of electricity continued to produce electricity at the peak rate for 24 hours every day, every month, and every year.
What happens? That answer is obvious. They can’t. There is no way (currently) to store the excess production (more than the current demand).
What about hydrogen?
Look into the hybrid car situation and you can see what I am trying to communicate.
Look into the hydrogen on demand products currently available on the market and you will know what I am trying to communicate accurately now.
Return to the 24 hour PEAK production rate for the coal burning, natural gas burning, and uranium burning electric power industry again. Consider how things can work when those industries maintain peak production rates all the time (even during low demand cycles).
At peak demand (summer time at noon perhaps) all the production of electricity is used up; however – at minimum demand times the production rate of electricity can continue to be produced at the PEAK rate of production. What happens to the excess electricity?
The excess electricity for the whole year (running at full production rates) is stored somehow (placed into a huge battery or bank of batteries).
If the capacity for storing the over production of electricity is enormous, then, an electric plant can run 24 hours a day for one year and then shut down for one whole year (more or less depending upon rates of production and consumption).
This is very much like an electric car going up a hill. At the top of the hill the car starts going down the hill. The driver of the car has to apply the brakes to avoid going too fast. The brakes on the electric car are generators (the wheels are used to turn an electric generator producing more electricity to fill the batteries). Going up hill the car uses power. Going down hill the car uses the power of gravity to recharge the batteries. The car does not ‘get something for nothing’. The car doesn’t waste.
The car doesn’t waste. The car is designed to utilize energy efficiently. The car stores power when power is available instead of wasting the opportunity to store the available power.
Hydrogen competes against coal, natural gas, and uranium because hydrogen is A Storage Medium. Hydrogen is stored in water. Water is a Storage Medium.
When electric production for Solar, Wind, Coal, Natural Gas, and Uranium exceeds the current demand (non peak hours) that ‘over-production’ can be used to separate water into oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen and Hydrogen (as one gas or as separate gases) can be stored as a fuel to be used for producing power.
The application of a battery (or capacitor) within a circuit is not a new concept. And the reader can better understand how a battery (or capacitor) works in a circuit if the reader equates the above scenario with something economists call “The Business Cycle”.
At this point my work here and now currently arrives at the POWER TOWERING ABOVE ALL OTHER POWERS that is available to human kind as a source of prosperity for posterity (ensuring the survival of our species against any and all threats of extinction including Super Nova of the Sun and collisions with meteors) and this power is human power (call it whatever name you decide to call it).
Human Energy competes against any and all other sources of energy. Human Energy is the principle driving the interest that must exist and must be produced for any other application whatsoever.
Without Human Energy driving human activity there can be no human existence.
This should be a clear as Sunlight on a summer day. There should be no clouds of falsehood blocking this sunlight – none whatsoever.
The Business Cycle is a simple matter of poor design and missing elements in human economy (application of human energy). What is missing is a battery (or capacitor). What is missing is a means of storing over capacity during periods of low demand and what is missing is the realization of the opportunity to produce during periods of low demand.
What is missing is the battery (or capacitor) in the circuit. What is missing is a BANK.
In modern society, on our planet, the BANK has been removed. In place of the BANK, in our modern society (worldwide), there exists now a false BANK that works even worse than an unnecessary resistor, worse than a load, what exists now, is a counter-productive waste, an unnecessary governing body, and worse, the BANK is removed and replaced with a short circuit. Current to healthy parts of society is short circuited by the false BANK. Power is short circuited and grounded, wasted, and burned off, or not produced, merely for the investment in, and security of, the FALSE BANK. The false bank siphons off the power to be used entirely in the interest of preserving the falsehood required to disguise the operation of the false bank – like a parasite or leach. Having no bank is destructive enough. The utilization of a parasite in place of a bank removes the knowledge of the absence of a bank much like applying leaches to cure a case of anemia or amputating the head as treatment for a nose bleed, AND, paying the doctor your last dime to perform his treatment of choice.
What is missing is a real BANK. A real BANK working as a BANK, like a battery (or capacitor), is missing in modern society. A real bank will smooth out THE BUSINESS CYCLE. Having no bank, no real bank, will cause the business cycle to fluctuate to the extremes. Having a short circuit (a false bank) destroys the parts of society that are cut off by the false bank (short circuit).
Again – if the power companies produce at maximum production rates and the circuit has a means of storing over production, then, those power companies can shut down for any reason whatsoever and the flow of power continues at peak rates of consumption for as long as the BANK capacity lasts. When the supply of power in the BANK reaches zero, then, the production of power must resume – of course.
Having no BANK in the circuit requires a continuous cycle of waste and missed opportunity.
When HUMAN POWER fails to understand and fails to recognize the need for a real bank (battery or capacitor) then human power will continue to be underutilized and over utilized as if human power itself is power-less at best and at worst (and this is the bottom line) destructive of itself.
The principle failure of human power is a failure to create and maintain a very simply device – the bank.
In place of the bank now, in our global society, is organized crime.
If you can’t see it, then, you prove the reason why it remains powerful.
You can’t fight against an invisible and unknown enemy. You cannot produce the necessary device required to ensure prosperity when you think that the device already exists. When the device required for human survival is replaced with a false one, then, human existence is doomed by that falsehood.
See it in time or kiss our species farewell. It was a glorious experiment while it lasted, for some, and a miserably tragedy for others – all for the lack of a simple device - a very simple device in deed.
Human knowledge is stored in truth. Bank on it. Don’t settle for anything less. Don’t invest in falsehood. The rate of return is negative – on purpose.
In the words of one of America’s presidential candidates: “Follow the money”.
