That's where the "smart grid" comes in.
Power will flow both ways in the future. When the wind is blowing and sun is shining at your house you will be generating energy for your home plus extra, and the power companies will be able to buy that energy from you in exchange for being able to pipe in power when you need it to your home.
Most homes will also have a large amount of batteries that will be charged by your own means so you don't have to go to the power company for your electricity if you don't want to.
They don't want us to go off the grid, just make it more efficient.
Yes sir, I'm taking place in the first smart grid in the country (maybe the world... not sure about that.). Boulder, Co is going online with smart grid energy flow next year and tons of other little adjustments that I'm just thrilled about

I saw that the first storm Alex I think is the name is heading in, you know it is going to blow all of that oil on to the land and like you said the vegetation and all land plants and animals will start dieing off too, but BP will try to say that it has nothing to do with them and the spill of coarse

It already made landfall in Belize. It was a tropical storm, now a depression.

thats some fucked up shit dude.
i hate the time we are living in with all these problems that are going on, and there arent enough people who care to do anything about it.
oh and i didnt think that the oil would evaporate, i thought it was too heavy?
i dont know this for a fact though, so it could possibly be raining down on us, i mean i already think that the rain has polution in it. i mean look at acid rain, this is just as bad.

I just watched the you tube video about this and I think you should start a new thread and say this is what is going to happen here if we do not stop this insane power that these companies have over our country. I thank you THEBats for bringing it to my attention.

The media is not even beginning to let you guys know the scope of this disaster.
I really don't even want to talk about it.
they cant even use the oil booms properly. all of that boom you see is doing virtually nothing.
also, the relief wells will not work.

Its a bunch of guys down there collecting the cash for the work and standing around with their thumbs up their asses.
Can't blame em, the scope of this spill is massive, it would kind of suck to be skimming off some sludge and see only more sludge on every horizon.
If this happened here I'd probably end up doing the same thing vs facing indefinite unemployment.

yes the coast guard has them halted for some stupid reason. i shit you not, these men are literally lying down on top of the piles of booms and sleeping. while they should be collecting the boom and laying new boom.
and they arent laying it properly. all that boom you see isnt being used properly as the video i posted above explains in a very informative and somewhat humorous narrative

Alright, I just finished watching.
1. I have actually been certified to deploy boom in case of an emergency spill. Being said, I would not be the first person I would call to do this, even being certified.
2. Being an avid fisherman and living near the coast, I am very aware of the tidal action of the ocean, as should anyone who lives near the ocean or has seen an ocean on TV.
Even a complete retard could figure out after 10 minutes that if you lay the boom open to the wind, you are effectively wasting it.

First off, the media is paid for by commercials and have not been big about reporting or even asking the tough questions because they could loose sponsors(commercials)(P.S.Not making excuses for them). Bottom line for these oil companies is the all mighty dollar and stock holders, we are expendable(funny we pay for their shit that keeps them in biz) If everyone was to boycott BP how fast do you think their stock would drop since this country is their biggest junkie. If you look into BP response plan before this happened all it was(still is)shit. Some of the people listed for contact info on deep sea oil spill were dead or not working there anymore(I mean like years off their payroll), the numbers were either not working or just went to an answering machine. Do you guys know about the health issues that are happening to the clean up works and families along there as well, but they say that has nothing to do with the oil leak I had to edit this after i posted it. I remember that it used to be a reporters dream to catch and report the big stories and not be afraid, actually they use to pride themselves on busting these big ass companies when they would do this kind of shit(Edward R. Merrel would be shitting himself to see how the reporters have turned out) They give a award in his name even to tough reporters who report the tough stories but no one in our media deserves this now.
