Two part Plan B for an energy infrastructure overhaul, based on classical physics:

You may remember the War of the Currents. It was Edison ’s DC vs. Tesla’s AC. The latter won because AC can be carried long distances and could therefore accommodate a centralized generation infrastructure. Today the grid is being strained, it emits dangerous EMFs and it is an eyesore, but it works.

Part 1 ADOPT-A-UTILITY-POLE-PROGRAM

The Fossil Fuel industry says, “Solar and wind power could never meet the electricity needs of America …” That is a lie based on the idea that generation should continue to be centralized. DC was not plausible for a centralized energy infrastructure because it can only be carried short distances. However if we instead create a 12 volt DC grid based on decentralized or distributed generation we can harvest these forces efficiently.

A 12 volt DC grid would be accomplished by retrofitting every utility pole with a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) and a PV panel and installing an inverter in every home/business. This solves a few problems. First, coal, gas, and nuclear power are rendered obsolete. Secondly, the redundancy makes the grid robust and secure. Third, EMFs are eliminated.

With a two-way junction box, your subsidized off grid system can stay connected and you get paid for your excess power. Similarly I propose that households and businesses can adopt up to three utility poles and have them retrofitted with said technology, the investment will be offset by future profits. This plan would be a boon to those entities who manufacture VAWTs and PV cells and who maintain the grid.

Part 2 ELECTRIC CONVERSION OF VEHICLES AS FRANCHISE

Once converted, the new grid spawns a second industrial revolution to existing technology – vehicles. A chain of conversion facilities will be qualified to remove engines, gas tanks, exhaust systems and recycle them. Standardized electric motors, electronic control systems and battery packs will replace them. The cost of conversion will be subsidized and offset by the value of the components being recycled. The issue of driving range will be negated by converting gas stations into battery pack exchange stations. The Chevy Volt has a 40 mile range and the Tesla Roadster 400 miles…with exchange stations as common as gas stations are now, a minimal range of 100 miles is quite reasonable.

This new ATS format seems to be buggy and is not allowing me to type in the txt fields so I'll keep it brief. Almost everything we know about the world around us is a theory.

Crude being a fossil fuel is a pretty sound theory, as we do have a lot of research on the subject. The reason why it is not so easily renewed, is that it takes a long time to turn from the biological organisms to the liquid crude that we know as oil. Furthermore, the heat and pressure have to be just right because if it isn't, we get gasses or coal. Too much heat/pressure and we get nat-gas, while not enough heat/pressure gives us coal. So, along with the environment variables needing to be just right, the length of time is almost jaw-dropping, according to the pretty sound theory.

I think it's safe to say that we deplete crude and nat-gas far more quickly than Mother Earth can produce it, of course acorrding to the theory based on sound evidence.

Ive read about peak oil, mostly on bobistheoilguy.com.. some said 2008, tohers have heard it over decades, peak oil was gunna happen the next year, and so on and so on....
i read this year, they found billions of barrels of oil in Iraq and afghanistan..so to me, that put peak oil back a bit* of course if thier more Horizon oil well leaks, that could change things too.
Thiers shale oil up near western canada that could be extracted..but the energy required to take the oil outta the rocks would pretty much use around 50% of fuel to extract it, as oppopsed to pumping it out of a well.
well..its nice to see rockefeller isnt going to let us go green as long they own n control the oil empire* all in the name of greed n money. when we go totaly electrical, batterys, hydrogen..rockefeller must make sure they own most of it, costing and arm of money before allwoing us to have it*
going green is nice, but in reality its just a dream, meant to profit off of

Also..i think its pretty much assumed or belived now, oil is Anionic..meaning the earth somehow regenerates it, much like our bodys regenerate blood cells* its turns out, oil may not after all be form the land fo the dinosaurs* If its true, then oil will come back, but would take god knows how many millions of years to replenish what was extracted* not like any of us or business has that kinda timeframe to consume!

They have dozens, if not hundreds of patents for free, carbon-free, low-cost, easily obtained energy - more than enough to fulfill the needs of the planet - but these patents are BEING SUPPRESSED bu the Big Corporations of the Cabal.

There is NO ENERGY CRISIS, except the one they are all DELIBERATELY creating in order to impose their demonic agenda of total control and enslavery of the people.

There is NO energy crisis, this is WAR, the WAR they have declared on the people.

The German 'report' is just one more propaganda exercise to get the people to accept what they are planning on doing next......bring down the economy and enslave everybody through total control of all necessities.

Wake up everybody. I'm surprised that people, especially on ATS, still don't treat any MSM news with the greatest suspicion and see it for what it is - WAR PROPAGANDA.

I doubt it would take 15-30 years before it causes a large upheaval, I would have thought it would be much sooner than that. It's decline in production would have catastrophic consequences to the economy yet look at the state of the economy now?
We are heading towards a global depression and at the same time the world is facing a global decline in oil production.
Sure there have recently been oil discoveries but none of them compare to how much oil is consumed in the world every day.
