Hello again and Merry Meet!
Well, I have taken a little time off to renew and refresh. The news has included so much negativity that I needed to look away from it all for a brief time as I felt I was being consumed.
But the batteries are now fully recharged and I am ready to get her done! The candle is burning, so let's just jump right in!
The Muslim zealots, fascists, terrorists, or whatever label suits, are waging war around the globe. Africa is ablaze with death and destruction, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, America, India, England, Spain, Russia, Israel, Lebanon, Afganistan, The Phillipines, just spin the globe and stick a spot with your finger and you are probably near a war zone. Of course we Americans had to take on the bully of Iraq instead of putting Osama out of business, so we add to the insanity.
I suspect that unless the world politic unites there will be an axis of aligned interests which will form, sooner rather than later. It will consist of radical Muslim factions, radical Muslim states such as Iran and Syria, radical communist states such as Cuba, North Korea, and perhaps Venezuela. Should these armies unite under the protection of China and or Russia the world will be ripe for plunder.
What can we do? Light candles, form circles, work together in a concerted focused spell fest to break the money chain which pays for these unholy wars.
Next we really must cut the strings to foreign fossil fuels. Every time we buy gasoline the war mongers and terrorists pocket part of the profit. So, what breakthroughs have made it out of the labs to assist us in this quest?
Well, how about two different types of solar cells which are running at 50% efficiciency, are cheap, and available! Printed paste nano dot solar cells on plastic substrates. Or how about a new metallic alloy on stainless steel sheet metal useful as siding or roofing! Either of these products are capable of running your entire home with only 300 square feet of solar cell. Finance another 300 square feet and sell the excess to your local utility.
And how about Biobutanol? Alcohol is made from sugars by fermentation with yeast. Butanol is made from fermentation of sugars with bacteria. Alcohol has considerably less energy per gallon than gasoline while butanol is only slightly less energetic that gasoline per gallon. Like alcohol, butanol can be made in farm based cooperative fermentaion refineries. Also like alcohol, when butanol is burned only water and bio-derived CO2 are generated. Alcohol is corrosive and cars must be modified to prevent damage while butanol is noncorrosive. Pure butanol can go straight into the tank, while alcohol must be blended with gasoline up to 85% alcohol.
British Petroleum and Dupont will be opening fermentation refineries in Great Britain in 2007. The British will be fueling their cars with bio-butanol made from sugar beets grown in Great Britain by British farmers. The British will not give a farthing to terror, they will clean their air and help keep jobs at home while saving British farms. The benefits are totally amazing! Brazil will soon have bragging rites for an economy free of foreign oil by converting to sugar cane based alcohol. This is a model to study. I salute Brazil and celebrate what they have done for their country and for Gaia!
Pagans, Wiccans or Heathens, it doesn't matter, we all love our Mother Earth and we all want to treat her with the respect she deserves. So join the Gaia Revolution. Turn your back on dirty oil, politics and terror and go green! The Goddess does not need another oil spill in Alaska, or for Greenland to melt.
If not us, then who? If not now, when? Come on, follow me, go green, go Gaia green!
Until next time,
Blessed Be!
Stormy
