The Problem With Alternative Energy

It’s not what you think.

Currently our world is in a struggle between the past and the future.

We see that there are problems with what we have been doing, and that it is destroying the planet.

So, inventors, scientists and major corporations are working around the clock to develop alternative energy sources in order to keep up with our current lifestyles, and economic needs.

This causes much debate about whether alternative energy is better or not.

And both sides have talking points that back up their argument and help support the industry that helps them make or save money.

And money is what seems to matter.

The debate has been carefully framed. We are allowed to debate whether alternative energy is good, bad or needed.

But, if we care about our planet, we need to get out of the framed debate and ask some other questions.

Such as, “Is the problem with alternative energy? Or is the problem with the method of delivery?”

What do I mean?

We know that solar and wind power works.

But, most of the debate lies in how solar fields and wind farms are just as destructive to the planet, and take up just as much resources as anything else. That it is not really a violable alternative. That’s most of the argument.

But, the real problem lies in the method of delivery.

Mega corporations want to create giant wind turbines and use thousands of acres of land, not because it’s needed to generate power. But, because it’s needed to generate money.

We have the solution to the energy problem. But, we gotta wait till the companies create ways to charge us for it.

It’s not about having an alternative, it’s about making people rich off it.

There’s a story, and I can’t really prove if it’s true, but it explains what I’m saying.

Nikolai Tesla allegedly created a means to generate free power and transmit it through the air, for all people to use freely. But, he needed an investor. He could not build it without money.

So he went to J.P. Morgan, who is alleged to have denied the request stating. “How can I charge people for it?”

And that’s the problem we face.

We could put solar and wind on the roofs of every house and business. We could design wind and solar generators that could be hidden in plain sight or made beautiful.

This would cut our energy problem way down.

But, how can they charge us for it? Not once, but keep us on the hook for life?

Like drug dealers.

They don’t want to just sell a drug, they want to keep you for life.

Would the powers that be, even seek alternative energy if they couldn’t charge us for it?

Would our world even be devastated if it wasn’t for them making money?

Honestly, I think the energy problem will not be solved until they create fusion power or some of form of power we never imagined.

Course, we will never get it till they figure out a way to charge us for it.

And that’s why the love of money is the real problem.
