Florida Can Be Energy and Food Independent

Posted by Dan On November 24th

Here’s my thought for the Thanksgiving weekend…

Florida can be energy independent 500x231 Florida Can Be Energy and Food Independent

A very special thank you to Charly Caldwell for introducing me to Alan Maltz’sFree Spirit” (above) — environmental consciousness through fine art, way to go!

Florida Can Be Energy and Food Independent
Florida has an abundance of natural resources.
Plenty of sunshine.
Plenty of (moving) water.
Plenty of land.
There’s enough energy landing on our roofs and
flowing in the Gulf Stream to provide all the power we need.
There’s enough land and water to provide all the food we need.
There’s enough intelligence to make it happen.

How do you feel about this?  Please comment below, and I’d love to hear from you…

Fossil Fuels – 300 Years of Growth in 5 Minutes

Posted by Dan On November 15th

Wow! I stumbled upon this video today…



…and it really sums up how fossil fuels have powered human growth and ingenuity for centuries — all in 5 short minutes!

Now that we’re reaching the end of cheap and abundant oil and coal supplies, we’re in for an exciting ride. While there’s a real risk that we’ll fall off a cliff, there’s still time to control our transition to a post-carbon future.

This amazing animated short movie is written and narrated by Richard Heinberg, author of many related books.

Be sure to watch it and let me know what you think by commenting below!

Recently, Dominic Zito, our Sales Manager, was interviewed…

Solar Power in Florida Solar Power in Florida: Energy Officials Visit Suncoast

…by ABC-7 about high-level energy officials from the Department of Energy coming to the Suncoast to meet with local officials talking about energy programs.

Including those that may bring green jobs to the area!

In the interview, Dominick said “We should absolutely be the front runners in solar energy.  The more installations I have, the more of my employees I have on the road working.  Hopefully down the line hiring more sales staff and technicians.”
