WhatÕs
ENERGY INDEPENDENCE?
In U$
& at home in bioregion?
National Energy
independence been raved since 1970s when mid east oil/gas source was shut off
for months to shock the global oil sucking/burning grid of war economics. So the goal of ÔEnergy IndyÕ was hyped for
getting all US energy needs from $ucking oil from North America. However independence also mean not
depending on giant power grids for filling our needs at home living with harvesting incoming natural energy in
our bioregion, as done for millennia by millions of farmers & eco-Villages
in all countries. WeÕve long
forgotten our ancestors live sources, fading under great newage science tech
invading our cities sucking rural resources & people into modern city life. Especially if they were abused in their
families or villages, then escaping into city poverty & slavery zones since
US civil war.
The sources of
oil/gas/oil have 3 mysterious problems:
1. Current
accurate measurements of
oil ÔreserveÕ far underground are rare if not impossible to know, as new
discoveries are often made, what a surprise?!?!?! So honestly predicting oil
supplies is likely impossible.
2. Nations &
industries PR ability to lie about sources to create false scarcity, fears & inflating prices, etc.
3. Abiotic
Oil creation Ð of deep process
earth making oil with microbes digesting carbon in rocks, see Deep Hot
BiosphereÕ geology book Ô99
by Thomas Gold of Cornell Uni. Has lots of real earth energy evidence IÔve read
twice.
4. The Peak
oil advocates usually
ignore the above conflicting problems when charting supplies over years &
decades to predict future energy trends.
So national energy
independence is now
impossible for our industrial oil, gas, chemical & mineral energy needs for
monster (war) industry progress ever bigger, faster, richer & complex = suicidal
the ÔTotal toxic loadsÕ of waste
& pollution in U$ making millions sick daily & yearly dying form hi
acids synthetics, after years of drug & surgery treatments to rescue U$
from junk foods, drinks & drugs.
To those greasy chemical & radiation excitoxin addicts, energy
independence is another pop fantasy, like outer-space travel, eugenics, technotopia
& eternal bliss our empire.
However few million
of U$ are Ôpowering downÕ with Mother nature, back to the land & growing
more healthy in harmony growing, harvesting trading for our needs with our bioregional season cycles. ThatÕs the essense of natural
sustainable living & balancing with simple needs, joys & skills of
Permaculture Ð organic homesteading.
Even better than pre-industrial ancestors did before electricity sped of
our toxic dEvolution by competing, fearing & hurrying to work earning market
madness of goodies.
Real local energy
independence is lively
home, schools & business energy conserving, & growing hemp &
bamboo, veggies, herbs & animals milk we need to eat healthy, build &
maintain our organic homesteads while coop-erating with nature, our neighbors
& enjoying earthÕs varied seasons cycles with lifelong learning patterns
loving our sources of energy Footravel
on land is more relaxing, energizing, health & enjoyable than gas burning
vehicles. Like burning wood fires
is better than burning coals, gas, oil & nukes electricity for heating our
homes & bodies. We can reclaim
our local democracy & sovereign independence by withing cooperative meetings
to discuss & decide how to solve local problems we may share working together
to know & prevent with awareness of sources.
