Why I’m HOT for renewable energy!!
Nature provides renewable energy!!
A few days ago I was working in my front garden, and a neighbor walks by with his dog. He stops and chats, asking questions about the 1.05Kw solar panel installation on the roof. He was asking me why I preferred renewable energy over traditional energy, from coal power stations.
My initial thought response was the obvious benefits to the environment, in generating my own power from the sun, and not using power generated from harmful coal power stations, but then I thought along a different path.
I told him that I love renewable energy because it’s just that, renewable. It renews itself each day, without fail. There’s no need for anything to be constantly added, such as new coal mined and transported to the power plant, to make the power. With my solar panels all I need is the sun to rise the next day, and I’ll make about the same power I made the previous day. Nothing more to add but the sun, and I hear that has about 6 BILLION years of supply left, so no shortage of supply there. 
So this got me thinking about the term renewable, in how it really is just that. Each day the sun basically gives me around 5Kw hours of energy to use in my home. The sun gave me that power yesterday, it will give me that power today, and tomorrow, and for the next 25 to 30 years.
Just imagine if we had a renewable bank account. All the money we spent today would be renewed the next day. That’d be alright. It’s like you have a bottle of your favourite beverage in the fridge, and each morning you go to the fridge, your bottle is full, even if you drank that bottle empty the night before. Imagine that concept of renewable. 
The power source from the sun renews each day, as the sun rises through to when the sun sets. It never misses a beat, except for rainy days with lots of cloud cover, but those days are great too, as we run our house water supply on tank water, collected in our underground 32,000 litre concrete tank. That’s a renewable supply of water too. It rains – we get water.
Nature provides ample renewable energy, and does so very well.

Yep, no need for new coal to be mined and transported to power station, where to make power massive carbon emissions and toxins are generated. No need for that. All that’s needed is the sun to rise and power gets made. 100% renewable energy source. 100% clean. 100% awesome.
I love this post, too!! I hope it gets into the ArtoMatic green doc!
Go cacunnin!
I love the post! If the sun rises each day, we are guaranteed energy for our future
