Energy Opportunities Everywhere?

Posted January 07, 2009 8:17 AM

We habitually look outward, to government and others, for solving our energy problems. Are we ignoring the best place to start? Do substantial energy savings lurk within our own companies? The Office of Energy Efficiency reports that electric motors consume nearly half of energy used in the U.S., and nearly 2/3 of energy used in industrial settings. Seen any machine efficiency improvements work in your work environment?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Motion Control Components, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Motion Control Components today.

Geeehh! Oh yeah the technology is already waiting to be launch it at huge scale but in the meantimes the debates still going on. The trouble is that by the time such technology hit the ground it will probably started to got obsoleted,who know's? Hopefuly not. You know somehow similary to when a roadway finally get done, then the traffic is already so big that you doesn't feel the real benefit after all the agony first. The fun are been past due. You know what I mean. Where's the Filling?

Anyhow is better to keep on trying than do nothing down the highway,I guess. See the problems at companies levels it is the bureoucracy and channeling protocols within personalities argumentations and so on. You know the story! Can'tWin!

Let's say for example that you have a nice point but do your position in 'the ladder level' someone else are trying as well to be the best boss then your point of view doesn't count in their formula, ya' got the point again. Is a 'No Win Situation' anyway. Why? Because 'The Murphy Law' reality scenarios outhere. Can't Win. Or Denied attitude together with the arms down issues.

The problem are indeed the human machine system of ladder climbing competition everywhere wherever everyone want it be 'The Bossess'. I do notice such thing everywhere I go is like an epidemic. Wherever you go, oh well hope this do not N/A apply to yourself but a lot of people do have to dear with a lot of the bull stuff all over, no escape. Hey what we can do? Is a 'No Win Situation' really. Where are the stimulus package? Who know's? Anyhow nevermind. Disregard!

I do believe that the ideal will be to set-up green technology substation between the main ones standards in actual use and back it up within the grid in an automatically monitored units on such greenpower substations all over. This will require probably the use of somehow Digit-Analog technology like a Variable Frequency Controls in order to supply the juice on demands from the grid to consumers. So this way we'll be using a lot less petrol in the meantime until most of the juice use come from the 'Green Power Tech'. Ahhhaaammnn, not too bad see there you go now. Crank that Puppy-Up now Full Force. Alrigth Buddies see ya' later all and Hasta La Vista BaBiess!!

GreenTechJuice,
