Sacramento Sustainability Action Group

Connecting Sacramento's Sustainability Movement

This page came from the desire to harness some of the energy raised at the Sacramento Sustainability Symposium May 2008. This page is a tool for organizing future sustainability-related events. We subsequently are part of the Rising Tide North America network, which works to confront the root causes of climate change.

Renewable Energy


Description
Renewable energy is energy that is converted from renewable power sources predominantly for electricity generation. Renewable power sources are naturally replenished and are not depleted by use, unlike fossil fuel resources. Geothermal, wave, tidal, ocean current, hydro, wind, solar, and biomass are the most common renewable resources used to generate renewable energy.
Keywords: power generation, geothermal, heating, solar thermal, photovoltaic, PV, hydrogen, tidal, distributed generation, fuel cell, renewable, replenishable, undepleted, biomass, hydroelectric, waste-to-energy, regenerative, emissions, climate change, appropriate technology, clean energy, wind energy, solar energy, hydropower, marine energy, environmental impacts of energy, electricity, heat energy, clean tech

Imagine a world without war, poverty, misery, or injustice. Imagine a world of Love, Peace, Abundance, Tolerance, Freedom where all people could work together in a spirit of cooperation and not competition. Imagine a world where we could all develop the best of our potential as individuals and as a global family…  A young and spirited 93 years old man Jacques Fresco, the creator of the Venus Project,  has been working all his life to achieve these aims, dreaming a better world and working passionately to make it come true. Would you imagine if we all shared the same dream and we could all dedicate part of our lives to make it happen? Would you imagine if all the people and institutions within the Wiser Earth network worked together and spent part of our time designing our common future? This is what the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project are trying to accomplish. More than 350.000 people have already joined the Project. You are welcome to networking with us. Your ideas and suggestions will help us to realise our common dream.

 

Kind regards, David Wilson

I would like to share with all of you the following article, which strengthens the strategy of Renewable energy and proposes a new distributed Energy Model. Even using Bio-fuels, although they are renewable, they still generate Green House Gases. The strategy in this article, is fair and equitable, much more than our current Energy Model, for people and nations. It should improve living conditions throughout the world, but it will take time to implement . Please support it and share it along

The fossil fuels used in automobiles must stop. Please see the article on The Perfect Automobile

http://www.articlesbase.com/cars-articles/the-perfect-car-740680.html

There is a new article for Production and Deployment of  the Perfect Automobile which is about to come out in the next few days. This new article shows our inability to switch all our current automobiles in circulation from Fossil fuels to electricity in less than 10 years, unless there is a collapse in the planet.


Please insert your comments on the articles or send them to me to trevinoj@bellsouth.net">trevinoj@bellsouth.net

Best regards,

The most informative book on this varied topic is Fred Krupp's: Earth, The Sequel.  I'm 3/4 through it, and am finding it entertainingly educational.  Many, many fantastic opportunities in work out there right now remaking our energy future.  A must read for any visitor to this site.
