Ive been scouring the web for interesting stories about creative solutions to the energy crisis.
the first one I found was on TED.com
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/adam_grosser_and_his_sustainable_...
Adam Grosser uses Ferdinand Carre's invention of absorption refrigeration to create a 20$ refrigerator that can last 24 hrs and only requires a campfire to warm it for 30 minutes. His mission is to provide accessible refrigeration to help preserve food and medicine.
The next interesting bit of creativity that I found was on Wired Magazine. The article http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2002/08/54456 talks about how algae is being used to generate hydrogen for hydrogen electric reactions. This is exciting because, we have known that hydrogen can be used to create
clean abundant energy, but we never have had a clean abundant way of obtaining hydrogen. That all changed in 1999 when Tasios Melis a professor at Berkley discovered that if you deprive the algae of sulfur (which the algae requires to create protein) they produce hydrogen. Although they have only been able to operate the algae hydrogen synthesis at an estimated 10% of the theoretical capacity.

The last one I found was about using the tides to generate power. Really if you think about it that means harnessing the power of gravitational pull! (tides being caused by the warping of our planet when it is pulled by the mass of the moon) This site http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/technology/hydro/tidal-power/ has a number of articles and examples of how tides could be used to generate electricity
What makes me happy is that I know that when we (mankind) go completely to using renewable energy it won't be because we all use hydrogen generators, or only because of wind farms. When we hit 100% renewable energy it will be because hundreds of idea will be used in conjunction. It's like Alchemy said,

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More
The meal
It is 7'oclock, I was late home from work due to an assignment that i wanted to get ahead on. By the time I get home I am feeling extremley tired and I cannot be bothered to make a proper meal. I walk to the fridge and open it to see what there is for me to eat. All of the out of date foodstuffs have been automaticaly thrown away by the fridge, they will be recycled tomorrow as animal feed or something. I see i have organic local eggs and some local cheese. Foods are vacc** sealded for easy…See More
Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
