I have installed solar cells on my house and let me tell you, nothing compares with the feeling that you are making a living on your own, that independence taste of not depending from any powerplant or anybody else but yourself.

Those sun gadgets look interesting especially if it’s beneficial to use without the use of electricity.

As we gently ease out of the “cheap oil era” we are finding a string of smaller bite-sized and affordable adaptations for our lives to things renewable. Science has not left us entirely to our own means. Here is an example of help on the way! SEE:

Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, Nocera and Matthew Kanan, a postdoctoral fellow in Nocera’s lab, have developed an unprecedented process that will allow the sun’s energy to be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Later, the oxygen and hydrogen may be recombined inside a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity to power your house or your electric car, day or night.

Imagine a roof-top gadget that can provide power through-out the night!

How about a way to store the day’s Solar heat energy for night-time home heating? SEE:

Ground source heat pumps use a buried ground loop which transfers heat from the ground into a building to provide space heating and, in some cases, to pre-heat domestic hot water. As well as ground source heat pumps, air source and water source heat pumps are also available.

We even know how to make gasoline from Solar! SEE:

adding H2 gas from solar power installations to coal by-products makes gasoline and diesel fuel as follows:{The Fischer-Tropsch process is a chemical reaction in which a synthesis gas — a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen — is converted into liquid hydrocarbons of various forms. The process produces synthetic petroleum for use as a lubricant or fuel. See: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/01/090131095501.htm

Post great republican depression life will be a meritocracy, deeply committed to sustainability – for Americans, and through the lessons learned here, for the rest of the world. We are entering a “New Age” for humanity, if we just let it happen!

I have been using a passive hot water pre-heater for the last six years.

I calculated that I have saved over $1,800.00 in that time span.

The cost of the pre-heater system about $86.00 including a used storage tank.

My parents had a 30-gal solar water heater for over 40 year to provide hot water for a family of 6. After the initial expense all that was needed was to replace the rooftop tank once, in over 40 years. When you fly into MIA if you look out the window you will see thousands of solar hot water heater setups. Pretty cool ! I also like, and use, skylights throughout my house.
