It seems that there is a solar panel trade complaint going on due to the cheep prices China is selling. The Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy is trying to fix fair competition in this industry so companies don’t dry up.

Here’s the news link

Well, if you’ve been looking at the news lately, you will notice that is pretty obvious that oil prices will begin again to start soaring and of course, gas prices will naturally go up. If there ever was a time for a call for alternative energy vehicles and alternative energy lifestyles, this is the time.

Actually, they hand writing has been on the wall for quite some time because of the fact that the world population has now exceeded 6 billion people and all of those people will probably be using fossil fuel to get to work and back as well as all of the other activities that are involved with their lives. The problem with this scenario is the fact that oil is a finite resource and will eventually run out. So, human beings on the planet Earth need to think about what type of alternative energy we can use to sustain the lifestyle that we have.

One of the easy ways that people who on electric scooters or electric bikes can get almost free energy from the sun is to buy electric panels for your garage or house. After you have purchased the electric panels (which aren’t cheap by the way) you can then wire them in a manner which will be conducive to charging up your electric bike batteries. Once you have your electric bike batteries wired from the solar panels you will be able to extract free energy from the sun without being on your city’s electrical grid.

Not only can you power up your electric bike or scooter that this matter, but there are also people who are powering up their electric cars this way too. Yes, there are still people out there with electric cars, however they have used their own innovation to build their cars in a manner which allow them to run and operate on electricity. Some of them have even installed electric panels so that they can charge up their electric batteries without drawing any power from electrical grid in their areas.

This is really a reasonable and easy way of gathering sustainable energy so that you are no longer dependent on any city or for an oil company to supply you with what you need to survive.

Ok, now just strain your brain for a minute and think back a year or so ago.  The oil industry took every opportunity to complain about any reason that they could muster as to why they could not produce enough oil.  Remember?  If it wasn’t because of war in the Middle East it was because of bad storms or machinery breaking down.  Like Rosanne Rosanna Danna’s father used to say on Saturday Night Live, “It’s always something!” (Boy, now I’m really starting to show my age!)

Well, here we are again electric bike and electric scooter fans, right back in the middle of another oil crisis, however, this time oil is going to escalate because of a SURPLUS of oil.  Yep, you heard right.  We are going to have an escalation of oil prices because oil companies are cutting back on production and scaling down, thus, creating a gap in oil production which will lead to a shortage.

Put on your B.S. filters because it is gonna get deep.

Gene McGillian, an analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Conn said that, “It’s the continuing battle between (weak oil supply/demand) fundamentals and economic optimism and there’s a lot of uncertainty over which is going to be the strongest performer”

Oh, and if that brand of Ka-Ka asn’t enough for you, then you will have to factor our old spanish buddy, El Nino. That’s right, weather reports are saying we are going to have a warm winter and that because Americans are not going to be heating their houses enough this winter, then we will have excessive amounts of oil resulting enough of a cutback to cause shortages.

My way of thinking, is that the sun has an enormous amount of energy that can power solar cells which can be then transfered into electricity which will power our cars, ebikes and electric scooters.  We will always have an amazing surplus of that energy.  Don’t believe me?  Well, here is a Youtube clip of an old retired guy that powers his car that way everyday and he did it on his own!
