Yes, I鈥檓 a prejudice man and I admit it.
The prejudice is rather narrowly focused as it is only about environmentally friendly electrical production.
The prejudice favours the rapid transition from using dirty fossil fuels and nuclear power to clean, renewable electricity that can be produced and used on your own property consuming nothing more vile than wind, sun, and the basic wastes and pollutants that human activities create. We would never have to be cursed with blackouts like this recent SaskPower outage in the southeast of Saskatchewan.
These periodic outages are ridiculous and totally avoidable. If people and communities were producing energy from south facing or flat roof tops, agricultural wastes, landfills, lagoons, wind, moving water, biofuels, geothermal, etc. we would never be subjected to these periodic outages.
At least those who invested in those technologies wouldn鈥檛 be so subjected. Those technologies are getting better and cheaper every day and once they are paid off we鈥檝e got endless, free, environmentally friendly electrical power with usages only limited by our imaginations. There would be no more limitations by ever-increasing power bills solely to maintain a massive, demanding monopoly rapidly facing its own antiquity.聽
We can do this individually or as communities with no more tax costs than those that are now going towards supporting dirty, devastating energy production.
There is no future for the generations to come in dirty, non-renewable energy. There is a brilliant and blossoming future in clean, renewable, energy.
Do you not want reliable sustainability in electricity so your freezer, furnace and water systems continue to work when it鈥檚 25 below?
Take a serious look at energy independence. Independent power production, produced on your own property or locally produced and consumed, minimizes many of the transmission costs and problems we presently face.
Renewable energy production is the answer to most of the economic and environmental problems we face as a human race.
It creates lots of jobs. It adds value to your property. It turns present, polluting, wastes into power and heat.
It respects and protects the environment and it keeps the lights on when every body else is in the dark.
