Jobs For All Who Want Them-My Green Power Idea

1:25 PM | Labels: , , ,

I can't believe its that time again. Do we really have to start choosing our candidates already?
Now, I know its a really big deal because things are not going so good. The one big thing we need is jobs.

With enough jobs people could buy homes again, they could enjoy our country's natural beauty, eat some of the great food our country cooks up in nice restaurants, and pay taxes. Yes, we could pay some taxes and maybe our elected officials would get back to work and off the streets. I just don't want to put up with the campaign trail again, so soon.

Mr.President, I have an idea for jobs.

We know how to make wind mills and wind farms. We know how to do solar panels. I've been dehydrating apples in the back window of my car all week. I took a lovely solar shower today. All cheap. Just plastic and glass.

I'm no scientist, but we have plenty of technology to combine solar and wind to make one viable contraption for your average American family. I believe a good science teacher could challenge his high school class to come up with an affordable system this year.

This solar flashlight always seems to be ready to go, even though I keep it in my purse on a key ring.
This yard light operates via rechargeable  battery by solar power, and it has been working for over a year. Each only cost a few bucks at Walmart.


As I drive across the country, I'm amazed by the wind farms. Hundreds of windmills, out in the open fields, basking in the sun. How come there are no solar panels installed on the bases of those windmills? There could be double the energy gathered from the same amount of land.
While they are installing the cables to transmit the wind power generated to the main storage facility, bundle that right up with a solar panel cable  transmitting all the electricity that has been gathered from the solar panels installed on the base of that windmill.

When it's night or stormy, the wind power will charge the system, when its still but sunny, the solar panels will charge the system. When its even party cloudy, and mildly breezy, both will work together.

Windmills have been used to pump water for centuries. What if it just ran a turbine instead, on the homestead.

I believe we could create and manufacture an affordable system like this. I envision something every family could go to home depot and buy for $100 bucks. It would be simple enough the average person could take it home and set up in the yard and assemble themselves. It would be a minature version of those colosal giants on the windfarms seen across the land.
Mr. President, think of all the jobs that would create! It would be a long term solution, a real solution. Think of all the clean energy and all the oil we could avoid buying. Imagine the emotional boost our economy would get. That's some change I could believe in.

Just thinking.
