After I began giving detailed energy talks to community groups (NY, PA, MD,
VA, WV, NC, etc.), I started getting requests to put on briefer presentations.
That’s what this is about.
The full version is also on Slideshare, with URL: EnergyPresentation.Info.
After you go through these, I will be glad to personally respond to any emails
you send me.
Please see my brief “resume,” the copyright notice, disclaimer, and contact
information on the full version.
If you like what you see, please pass it on to other open-minded people, and
your federal, state and local representatives.
— ENJOY!

Sometimes we need to step back and reflect
on how we got where we are today.
Seeing things in perspective can help us
make better decisions today.
Alternatively, those who do not learn from
history, are doomed to repeat it.

We all know that a picture is worth a
thousand words: so few words here.
These photos will remind us that we’ve
made large advances from the past.
Progress is about moving forward.
28.
Progress is about genuinely moving forward —
not whitewashing a failed idea.

Wind Energy:
— Very High Costs
— Miniscule Benefits
30.
What about those who say
something like:
“We need to do whatever we can,
no matter what the cost”?
31.
One thing we HAVE learned from the past is:
Talk Is Cheap.
Such people will be believable
when they publicly endorse
other comparable CO2 saving ideas,
like the government mandating that:
32.
1) 20%± of our commercial ships revert to
sailing vessels, and
33.
2) 20%± of our cars become horse-drawn
vehicles.
34.
As silly as they seem,
the interesting thing is that these mandates
would actually save a lot of fossil fuel!
So, does that make them a good idea?
35.
These parallel
what is happening in electric energy,
where our government is
(or is planning on) mandating
that utilities use 20%± wind power.
36.
In these modern times,
with all our modern technology,
and with all we’ve learned
from the past...
We Can Do a LOT Better!
