 Let’s break this down and keep it simple.

*The sun is the source of ALL of the Earth’s energy.

*Burning fossil fuels uses energy that has been stored for billions of years and cannot be replaced in the immediate human timeframe.

*Burning fossil fuels and biofuels put carbon into the air, which is rapidly destabilizing climate.

*The most direct energy on Earth comes from the sun.

*The more efficiently we can absorb and transform solar energy, the cheaper and cleaner and healthier earth will be.

*Another way to make energy is to move wire-coiled magnets past each other and create electron flow.

*Turbines are devices with wire-coiled magnets that generate electron flow (electricity).

*We can use falling water (gravity) or wind to spin blades attached to turbines.

Burning smokey fossil fuels to produce energy is a lousy choice. We know better now. Let’s change the way we do business and use sustainable, renewable energy!
