Who ever knew that working on my own without a full time employment opportunity was going to be this busy? There are so many things to do, I am questioning how to get everything done. I guess that is great news.
I recently re-visited my personal stance on geen technology and I wanted to clarify a few points.
1) Green technology is admirable and I support all efforts to preserve our environment and limit our abuse of the planet. I do, however, take exception to the lies and self serving overstatements of current technology capabilities. If the current technology is still in trial phase, then call it trial phase, under development, or a work in progress.
2) People who can afford to do so should support green efforts and invest in the mainstreaming of the technology when possible. When doing so, please take the time to calculate the cost before making a fool of yourself bragging about how much you are saving while neglecting to consider the backside costs of your decision. For example, your electric car is not operating for free just because it does not use gasoline(!). Many people that cannot afford to support the initiative are aware the total costs and have taken the time to consider it carefully before sticking with the tried and proven alternatives that are on the market.They will see through your pompous fraud quickly and it may destroy your credibility in other areas as well.
3) There are more opportunities to utilize energy saving technology in our home or business than in our vehicles. Take a look at your opportunities in the facilities you utilize and see what gains you can make. It is highly likely that there are cost effective environmentally beneficial improvements such as lighting, digital controls, and envelope surveys that will benefit you and the environment at the same time.
