There is nothing green about any deal that requires the federal government to manage it. Or should I say mismanage it. There is a solution to a lot of the energy concerns, but the problem is that lobbyists and the Democratic ideal keep getting in the way.
The past decade or so, there has been this huge push for electric or hybrid vehicles. The problem there is that too many industries are getting rich off the idea. First there are the electric companies who fatten their wallets when these vehicles need charging. Second there is the precious metal industry to manufacture the intricate parts for the batteries and chips required to manage the operational process of the vehicle. Then of course, there is the whole electric motor industry that is producing the power plants to move the vehicle. And lastly, but most likely not least is the expensive union workforce that assembles the behemoths.
Despite what the so called environmentalists may claim the electric vehicle concept neither saves energy or helps eliminate any harmful contaminants from the climate. In fact some of the gasses that are produced from the manufacture and operation failure of these batteries in these vehicles are far worse than fossil fuel emissions. No folks, once again, you can’t trust congressmen and women to give the heads up on solutions to problems, climate or otherwise.
The solution to some of the world’s climate concerns are sitting right in front of us. The problem is that not enough people can get rich off the idea. Believe it or not the solution is in water. Yes, the most abundant thing on earth can be the ultimate solution to both energy independence and climate concerns. How can this be? Well it’s very simple, and most all of us have done a simple experiment at home on the stovetop. Water consists at the molecular level of two atoms of hydrogen, bound by an atom of oxygen. When heated to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, the atoms separate. Hydrogen is a very combustible gas that when ignited, leaves nothing but water in its wake. Big government will continue trying to convince Americans that it’s too dangerous to use in vehicles, simply because not enough people or industries can profit from its use. Yet big government has managed to convince the same Americans that nuclear power is safe. Simply because of how lucrative the nuclear power industry is.
Hydrogen is widely used right now, safely, commercially. Plasma cutters use superheated hydrogen gas for precise metal cutting. B.M.W. and other manufacturers have developed a prototype automobile that converts the common gasoline engine to use hydrogen, with the only emission being water. As hydrogen burns, it requires oxygen like all other fuels, as it does so some of the atoms recombine to make water. So maybe now one can see why there is no mention of this technology. If there is, it’s put in a negative light for its only downside, which happens to be its upside also, along with all other fuels.
It’s time to wisen up folks. Green energy has always been sitting right in front of us, and free, too.
