A car driver continues down the road, foot down to the metal, until he has he runs out of fuel.

Never once stopping to gauge the tank and never easing off the accelerator to conserve or use the remaining fuel more efficiently. Not clever eh?

The business of energy

The business of energy

Well, this is exactly how our modern civilisation is burning the last of the world’s oil.

In fact, the consumption rate is increasing tenfold as everyone travels into the second decade of the 21st century, alongside another disappointing year for new oil field finds. The smooth tuned engine of commerce will soon begin to splutter as demand eventually outpaces supply. Read the rest of this entry »

Comparing the dot com boom with solar panels

May 4th, 2012

What do solar panels and the internet have in common?

The dot.com boom and bust of the turn of the millennium was caused by greed. People rushed to invest in a, new exciting, technology with only one thing in mind, financial gain.

Welcome to the solar panels century.

Welcome to the solar panels century.

With a flood of people willing to invest, new and exciting internet companies were viewed as the next big thing and at the time, many thought would be here to stay.

Why the big six energy companies hate solar panels

Solar energy and solar panels, which take advantage, of this gargantuan energy source have had a rough time from David Cameron’s “Greenest Government Ever”. So we ask why the coalition government is becoming more addicted to fossil fuels, rather than scaling up the use of technologies such as photovoltaic panels?

Old versus new energy

Have you ever thought of where this modern road is leading?

We are all currently enjoying the bounty of thousands of years of accumulated wisdom, which have brought, peace to most of the world and technological revolutions climaxing in the ability to break away, study and admire the planet we inhabit, which generations before us, could never have even imagined.

When the lights go out

Forecasting the future for solar panels

April 6th, 2012

Living by the sea side gives you a different perspective on life. In medieval times, you were always conscious of what or who may come from over the horizon. In modern times, people don’t tend to look any further than the 5-day weather forecast.

The future is never certain, but the outlook can be predicted, and predictions for energy prices by the big six energy companies themselves, will be just like the sea side tide. The small endless waves of sea water creep up gradually but forcefully. Just like tidal forces, the huge, uncontrollable, engine driving energy prices upward will continue unabated and without mercy.

Where now for oil?
