Power vote for the NEGAWATT revolution !
Dear Evoke Agents,
Please have a look at my new Evidence: Power vote for the Negawatt revolution!
As it is the final day of our third mission, on energy, before the next subject tomorrow, I am sending you my final Act on the subject. I have been trying to look at possible solutions that are widely applicable and that can make a real impact on a global basis. I have the conviction that it is the case with NEGAWATTS.
The concept of Negawatt power is the idea of creating incentives to reduce demand for electricity to ease the load at peak times or alleviate the need to build more generation plants. (Wikipedia)
By extension, a Negawatt is the marginal quantity of power, energy, not only electricity that we could save by changing our habits, our way of thinking, our natural tendency to consume.
By going for energy conservation, by looking for efficient energy use, we can all make a difference, and that’s what we’re all looking for.
The Negawatt philosophy could be applied by anyone, anywhere, widely. It can make a real impact, and best of all at no cost. Quite the opposite, you are saving money as you are saving energy. No need for new technology. No need for new investment. No need for a transition period.
We can all participate, and do it now!
As mentioned in my previous Evidences on this Energy mission, some solutions already exist, even if only for a portion of the problem.
We can help reducing the negative impacts of peak oil!

Thanks for sharing. But I don't think it's feasible in near future.

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

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.

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
