A Surprising Truth About Energy ... A Truth that really shouldn't be a surprise

These days, so much concern is being made about the subject of energy. Well, I think I can offer up some points that might help us steer through it a little better and with less worry. These points should satisfy all because they are based on sound scientific fact. Some of you will argue that I am crazy but that's your call. Plus, who knows, you might be right. It's just that I have been thinking about these things since my mom gave me my first set of encyclopedias. I was around nine or ten and over time I read most every page. I learned that the things that seem most complicated might most times have really simple answers. For instance, the time in Earths history that can be attributed to man destroying the environment is arguably around ninety years, which covers the industrial revolution and a few years extra. But let's say it's an even hundred. Some say that the Earth and the Universe are timeless and that just might true. But if it were true, then with a countless amount of years to do damage to the environment: the volcanoes, asteroids, comets, etc would have destroyed the planet long before now. But you say hey, "Crazy Bob" the Universe may be infinitely old but the Earth is only a few billion years old. That is true but even that amount time should have meant that earth would have been pulverized again and again completely ending the possibility of life on earth. Just like what has happened on planets like Mars, Venus and countless other terrestrial planets in this solar system and beyond. The knowledge that books offered me was not as important as the reality that was gained from its cumulative effects on me. I realized that planet Earth has been abused by the universe and it's own geological processes for billions of years and that's a lot of years. There must be something about Earth that is a unique thing that prevents run away global warming and runaway green house (unlike Venus) from occurring but that's another story for another day. Many who believe in an infinite amount of time before and after this particular place in history do not completely understand all that this belief implies. If this planet has been here for billions of years, wouldn't the cooling of the sun have been a larger threat to life on earth than man (who has only been here a mere blink of an eye when it relates to space time). Take a look at the solar winds alone, winds that are trying to blow away our atmosphere 24 hours a day. Not to mention that most of the gaseous substances in our solar system were blown out to and beyond the Orb Cloud at the moment the sun ignited 4 and a half billion years ago. No, if you want to know the truth about energy, you have to look deeper. The ability of the planet to renew itself is well known. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give us back oxygen. Water is purified by running streams or through the process of condensation. And the damage man is doing and has done is well documented as well. What people are not considering is that the process that brought these energy sources to us, have not actually stopped. Further more, there is so much energy to be created on Earth, which we could not possibly use up in a million years. Most of this energy is in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the land we walk on. The energy we use all (except for solar and nuclear wind generated and geothermal) comes from multi-molecular substances. Coal, Gas and Oil- this comes from oily substances, which were formerly living things: such as plant and animal life. Even ethanol and methane are created from formerly living organisms. Then if you consider nuclear, the science of gaining energy from the atom itself, well I am sure you get what I'm driving at. There are many sources of energy and most are renewable and this takes very little action on our parts. Even water can be used as a renewable energy source, just as it is used on space missions right now. We even have plans to use Europa a moon of Jupiter as a kind of outer-planetary filling station for deep space missions. Presently the same is planned for the moon; if we confirm there is water there (which of course there is) we will attempt to remove the hydrogen from it in order to power both the craft and the machinery and to allow for lighter payloads during take-offs. Why is this wealth of renewable energy not talked about and why is the fear continuously growing when we can't possibly ever use it up? "Money". Fear =money and it can be as great a commodity as oil or gold. MONEY has fueled everything from the evil of the dark ages, the witch craze, slavery, and the holocaust, as well as the toppling of countless civilizations. Yes, fear can also make you wealthy, very wealthy indeed. Formula: spread fear for something, anything, that someone really needs. Then give him or her a way to solve this problem (one that does not exist)... Then you have created big bucks. Remember, "just scare the people and they will pay".
