If you want to be successful as an athlete, you should forget all about smoking. Smoking is the number one factor that affects one’s performance in sports, particularly those that necessitate high levels of energy and stamina.

1. Significant reduction in energy

Getting enough sleep and observing healthy diet are enough to fuel your body with the energy it needs for your upcoming sports activity. But if you’re a smoker, you could be running low in energy no matter how much you sleep or eat energy-enhancing foods. In a 1999 study, researchers compared the energy levels of non-smokers with smokers and found that the latter spent 6.3% more energy than the former. By quitting smoking today, you can significantly increase your vigor, ready for your sports or exercise.

2. Reduced volume of oxygen (VO2)

Volume of oxygen refers to the amount of oxygen your body utilizes per minute. The more oxygen you access, the better you perform. If you’re a smoker, you are likely to have a reduced VO2. This was the finding of a 2008 study carried out by Larry T. Wier from NASA Wyle Laboratory. He looked at the VO2 maximum levels of runners who light up regularly and found a significant reduction in the VO2. This in turn, affects their performance in sports.

3. Poor dilation of the arteries

Even if you only smoke 5 cigarettes a day, the performance of your arteries is reduced by 50%. How does this affect your energy and stamina? Basically, arteries need to dilate so the muscles could get more energy (in form of nutrients). Without proper dilation, muscles could not get enough oxygen and nutrients. As a result, they feel tired and become swollen. Even if you don’t smoke, but regularly inhale secondhand smoke, your arteries will still suffer.

4. Weaker immune system

Smoking makes you more vulnerable to certain disease-causing organisms because the hazardous components of tobacco have the ability to alter the structure and immunological defenses of your lungs. The development of diseases necessitates additional energy because the immune system has to do its best to fight off the infection. The good news is that the effects of smoking to your immune system are reversible if you stop smoking now.

5. Changes in appetite

The body’s main source of energy is food. The normal response of the brain whenever it detects an energy imbalance is through appetite stimulation. Smoking can negatively affect this process by suppressing your appetite. In an animal study, scientists found that mice that were exposed to cigarette smoke had a 30% reduction in appetite, causing them to eat fewer amounts of food.

Other habits that are linked to smoking, such as poor intake of nutrients, alcohol consumption, and unhealthy lifestyle, all affect a person’s energy and stamina levels.

You might think that quitting smoking today is impossible. But actually, it’s easy. It’s easy if you know what to do and what to avoid. There are many smoking cessation methods that were proven to help smokers quit. By knowing more about them, you can increase your smoking cessation success.

Have you ever reached a point prior to, or while speaking your favourite speech, workshop, or Power Point presentation, when you are totally zapped of any energy? Perhaps you immediately go into panic mode, or think you are boring your audience, or wish you could simply end this now. Well, you are not alone as most of us have been there too.

Nevertheless, here are steps to recharge your energy when you need it the most.

Recharge Step #1: Breathe deeply for about 3-5 seconds to regain your body and mind relaxation. This will release the muscle tension in your voice to lessen a monotone sound or a high weak pitch level. Continue to breathe to fill up your voice tank with air power while zoning into your mind focus of “Okay, I’ve got this!” Breathing helps to de-clutter your brain, and it’s the powerhouse of energy projection.

Recharge Step #2: Smile! Yes, that really helps to pull you out of your battery loss. Think of yourself as a winner in race, a lottery prize, or a trip around the world. Any personal positive image that you know will trigger your start button, like starting up your car. This will boost your sparkle to keep your listeners interested.

Recharge Step #3: Go beyond breathing. Transfer this new-found inner strength to your audience with animation and passion. Walk around your space as you speak showing your energy with movement, excitement, and personal interaction with your listeners. Feel the purpose of your message as if it’s the vital reason you must now share with your audience.

Tell your story or example with emotional impact and don’t be afraid to let it all out there, whether it’s serious, funny, or mysterious. Enjoy your presentation as you go from one point to another. Without passion an actor who performs never touches his audience. Well, it’s same with a speaker.

I remember on one occasion almost falling asleep just before I was to present to a 50-member audience. So, I knew I had to go into instant recharge mode. I switched my opening warm-up to a new one that allowed me and the audience to move and interact. I felt the energy and passion that I was able to pass forward to my audience.

The next time your presentation batteries are dying, give them a boost with these recharging steps. Here’s to your new refreshed voice power impact!

Nerve Injuries & Nerve damage Treatment: Energy Healing for Restoring Nerve Disease, Nerve Disorders & Peripheral Neuropathy

Whether you have a pinched or severed nerve, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy symptoms, stroke or brain damage, a nerve injury creating paralysis, or any loss of physical sensation or movement, nerve damage is an annoying and dehabilitating chronic condition that can benefit from energy healing.

Dr Robert Becker in his book “the Body Electric” was a pioneer in discovering that electromagnet impulses could regenerate neural pathways and restore nerve function. Directed electromagnetic impulses can re establish muscular movement through electrical current stimulation. According to CBC News, “The functional electrical stimulation rowing machine, developed by researchers in Edmonton and England, helps people with disabilities (paraplegics and others) enjoy the benefits of regular exercise.” Christopher Reeves used electrical muscle stimulation on his legs to prevent atrophy and within his diaphragm to encourage breathing movement and maintain lung function. Even the acute pain exacerbated by nerve injury is relieved with focused electrical impulses. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machines deliver small electrical pulses to the body via electrodes and has widespread clinical use for pain relief from nerve damage.

Energy Healing is a form of electromagnetic stimulation. According to James L Oschman, “Healing energy, whether produced by a medical device or projected from the human body, is energy of a particular frequency or set of frequencies that stimulates the repair of one or more tissues.” Energy healing directed by a healer focuses electromagnetic energy stimulation into the energy field and physical body of the client. This transfer of directed electromagnetic frequency stimulation affects the clients cellular molecular system and the “cascade of activities initiated by such signals may provide essential information to cells and tissues, and open channels for the flow of information that coordinates repair processes and for restoring normal function after trauma.” Energy Healing is non-invasive and there are no clinically documented adverse events in existing literature.

The table below, demonstrating the electromagnetic frequency used for restoration is taken from Sisken & Walker in 1995.

Table 1

Healing effects of specific frequencies (frequency windows of specificity)

Frequency	     Effects

2 Hz	             Nerve regeneration, neurite outgrowth from cultured ganglia

7 Hz	             Bone growth

10 Hz	             Ligament healing

15, 20, 72 Hz	     Decreased skin necrosis, stimulation of capillary formation & fibroblast proliferation

25 and 50 Hz	     Synergistic effects with nerve growth factor

Today medical research has confirmed that the application of directed therapeutic electromagnetic energy fields ‘can convert a stalled healing process into active repair, even in patients unhealed for as long as 40 years’ (Bassett 1995). The mechanism by which ‘active repair’ is initiated probably involves both activation of specific cellular activities and the opening of the channels or circuitry for the natural biological communications required for initiating and coordinating injury repair through the focused electrical impulse stimulation inherent in energy healing. The independent case study research data: INTENSIVE HEALING FOCUS: Paralyzed dog’s spinal cord nerves, discs and vertebra regenerated published in Dr. Daniel Benor’s The International Journal of Healing and Caring illustrates the benefits of healing energy in traumatic nerve injury.

As a medical intuitive and distance energy healer, research continuously confirms the evidence based healing abilities of electromagnetic impulse energy healing.

Traditional procedures and treatments will eventually merge with what we now call alternative medicine, to become the ” integrative medicine” of the future. At that time, each client will derive a greater benefit from all healing modalities that are available to them.

World leaders have debated the merits of sustainable development and a green economy at Rio + 20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro.

Protesters have used the event to highlight injustice.

And something substantive benefiting the environment may actually get done. This year’s theme is after all “a green economy in the context of sustainable development poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development.”

However, listening to current U.S. political discourse makes me wonder if anybody in government seriously considers steering toward a green economy.

Wall street bankers, brokers and speculators remain so fixated on profits and bizarre anti-populist goals like killing Dodd-Frank, the already weak-kneed consumer protection act, that real values get swept away like last quarter’s balance sheet. The concepts of quality of life, a better place for children and continued proliferation of the American way — where everyone has a chance to make it big — get nothing but lip service.

A trillion reasons

Robert Redford put it succinctly in a piece on Huffington Post: “We can do better,” he writes. His point is that with so much at stake, we need to shift some emphasis to clean energy and eliminate the near “one trillion dollars of subsidies… handed out to help the fossil fuel industry” each year.

Here’s author and activist Bill McKibben’s take, from an email he sent to the 350.org network: “We know that world leaders aren’t likely to achieve a comprehensive climate breakthrough in Rio.” But he says stopping subsidizing the fossil fuel industry would “give renewable energy a fighting chance.”

The buzzword now is jobs. The issue is so important people are ready to jump at anything, even a silly pipeline project that taps perhaps the most planet-cooking reserves Earth has to offer.

Jobs, jobs, jobs

Redford says, and he’s backed up by numerous studies, that every federal or state dollar invested in clean energy gives multiple times the return of fossil fuels. Truly, that’s the kind of job that makes sense. Here in California’s San Joaquin Valley, we’re trying to prepare a ready work force. A consortium of community colleges has banded together to prepare curriculum that meets industry’s specifications and enables a green energy renaissance.

Then intent is to create living-wage jobs, rather than positions that perpetuate and exacerbate extreme economic divisions. The middle class is no longer bullet-proof. Incomes are declining.

So how does a green economy fit in? Not easily apparently. If it were up to me, I’d say, “Make the United States energy self-sufficient in 10 years, emphasizing sustainability.”

That’s not to say we should completely shed oil. The stuff has been quite good to us. Let’s just give a shot to making the world a better place, allowing American ingenuity fill in the blanks.

Taking up the challenge

Former Great Britain Prime Minister Tony Blair and a group of international statesmen and business leaders have penned an open letter advocating for a “clean revolution,” which they say is essential to “save our economies from the crippling costs of runaway climate change, and create meaningful jobs and enhance energy security.”

The group backs a campaign by business and government that calls for a “green growth” push out of global recession.

Topical, especially with nearly a half dozen countries in the European Union teetering on financial collapse. Greece elected the conservatives by a squeaky thin margin that allowed the markets a respite. But the future is anyone’s guess.

How’s the weather?

Kathleen Rogers, president of the Earth Day Network, says there’s a chance the Rio + Summit will get results, but “the outlook is bleak.”

Normally, I love that pessimistic stuff. It nurtures the curmudgeonly spirit I gained from 24 years in newspapers, pounding out or editing stories about the best and worst in people.

But I’m hoping for more. The summit marks the 20th anniversary of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, and the 10th anniversary of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa, the country where my cousin Sarah has decided to raise her twins.

Rogers says the U.N. event two decades past generated real optimism and a climate change treaty that “charted a new course to sustainability.”

Love at first bite

Implementation is a completely different issue. All that optimism from the first Rio summit had the bite of my toothless and blind 14-year-old dachshund Spike. Oh, he still barks like crazy — as do those of us who believe in a sustainable future. But we need a pit bull.

Adding some fangs, or even some well-worn teeth, requires agreement and action. I do believe it wouldn’t take much. Many are willing to give it everything they’ve got to extract power from those green dilithium crystals.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s Sustainable Energy for All initiative has lofty goals, calling for universal energy access, a doubling of energy efficiency and a doubling of renewable energy by 2030. But it’s got allies.

Nothing but wind

The European Wind Energy Association says 75 countries around the world have installed wind turbines and 21 have more than 1,000 megawatts generating energy. It says with the right policy support projections show that wind power will double capacity by 2015 and again by 2020.

“This can be achieved,” says Kandeh K. Yumkella, the Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, in a statement.

After all, what choice do we have. Really?

Why waste sexual energy when it can be transformed through yogic practices into ever changing continuous joy and bliss? Nearly everyone I know has no idea how truly awesome transmutation of conserved vital energy can be. Related to trantra, this spiritual approach to sexuality is, under the right conditions, most incredibly fulfilling.

There is nothing more immensely satisfying and fulfilling than the transmutation of stored sexual energy. However, it is not an ordinary accomplishment to successfully conserve one’s vital “sexual energy” fluids for indefinite periods of time and transmute that sexual energy. One needs to know the “big picture” as to what activities best transmute the sexual energy, how to maintain sexual health (essential) and have the wisdom and faith necessary to see it through. Another vital consideration is the diet needs to be high in raw food, super food supplements and antioxidants, especially those foods, supplements, and herbs that support sexual health and wholeness.

Very few fully understand the whole process and how beneficial overcoming the addiction to conventional orgasm can be, let alone even have the slightest notion that the common craving for basic sex is in fact a built-in biochemical addiction involving mainly the neurohormones dopamine (the sexual excitation neurotransmitter) and prolactin (the sexual satiation hormone). Yes, I consider that the natural craving for conventional orgasm to be another one of countless addictions one can be subject to and certainly worth overcoming or transforming into a much wiser, more fulfilling level of being alive and even as a key to helping one overcome other addictions and emotional attachments.

When one thinks of celibacy, one usually visualizes some content, wise and peaceful aging ascetic monk, alone in a quiet cell contemplating God or chanting in a beautiful Latin chorus with hundreds of other monks. On the other extreme are the tantric lovers dancing in each other’s arms thrilling each other through and through with profound ecstasy and love. In both of the above situations and everything in between, there is, hopefully a conservation of sexual fluid and a transmutation of sexual energy. However, the tantric lovers “celibacy” is much trickier and much more complicated than a monk’s form of celibacy.

To remain celibate even during an intimate relationship requires tremendous self-control, self-discipline, self-understanding and years of experience with celibacy. Why even bother? Because the benefits and sheer power of conserved sexual energy, especially while in a relationship with the opposite sex, once mastered and fully transmuted is profound love, intimacy and joy on a whole new level, and I mean really intense, everlasting, love, pleasure, and a sense of wholeness like nothing else. With or without a relationship, one can live in complete joy and I mean live in complete joy forever.

Some yogis have tried celibacy for years and years but achieved very few if any of the benefits I am certain of. The reason: because there are so many tricky aspects to having fully transmuted celibacy and so much to understand and explain.

Most important of all, one’s sexual organs and rest of endocrine gland system, and health in general must be whole. Not much meaningful benefit can ever come from the kind of celibacy that is a result of illness, impotence, frigidity, hormone imbalance, glandular problem(s), arterial sclerosis, extreme old age, or any kind of surgical removal. If there is no sexual energy to transmute, what then is the good of being celibate? It is only a symptom of an illness in that sense.

The key to transmutation (this is important) is the expansion of a strong, healthy libido into bliss with adaptogenic herbs (often called “aphrodisiacs”), herbal antioxidants, vitamin antioxidants, super foods, daily water fasting, daily aerobic exercise outside in a garden or park, breathing exercises, and whatever else that will increase the level of prana (vitality) in the body and connection with nature. Every aspect of transmutation is what one would do anyway to achieve perfect high-level wellness or wholeness. A wholesome diet high in adaptogenic herbs and supplements with complete meals separated by short fasts on loads of water is the most important key factor. Every factor for wholeness must come together and the long term (months into years) conservation of sexual fluids is only one essential factor that would be very hard to achieve nor even make much sense without all the other essentials of this wholeness lifestyle.

I should refer to the ideal form of celibacy I am talking about as “holistic celibacy” or real sexual wholeness. When one, by providing the above mentioned essential Science of Wholeness lifestyle requirements, successfully practices “holistic celibacy” one enters into an awesome sexual renaissance in the form of a massive, and extremely blissful kundalini awakening. What I mean by the kundalini, is a powerful and transforming sexual bliss in every cell of the body that is fully outside, above and beyond the inferior level of regular, all physical sexual activity which only ends in loss of sexual fluid along with some natural but rather undesirable changes in brain chemistry that leave one more prone to depression, restlessness, attachment, dependency and addiction. In holistic celibacy, because no sexual fluid is ever lost, but only transmuted and conserved, the sexual organs become vastly more active, orgasmic, and alive than ever. One thrills ever more each day in infinite, everlasting sexual power, virility and super sensual ecstasy. One wakes up every morning in an inner paradise of intense, perpetual, sexual bliss and goes to work and works all day in that same bliss. One is no longer swayed by the usual frustrating and limiting emotions, compulsions and desires. Could there ever be a greater, more fulfilling level of sexual wholeness than this? What could be a better way to live?

Think about the purity of children and what this means. Remember what Jesus said about children? Children are generally free of the real suffering, concerns and attachments of adulthood. Note the behavior of children verses adults. More often than not, they seem to have endless energy and take great, natural and genuine pleasure in the littlest things. And what do adults do? Nothing but worry, hurry and more worry! Their capacity for enjoyment is far more limited, stagnated and often forced or superficial. In your earliest years before you discovered the intense excitement of sexual release, wasn’t life more carefree and simple? Not so harsh or devastating when things went wrong? Also wasn’t there a constant and pleasurable voluptuousness and blissful bodily vitality that never went away?

Obviously this wonderful achievement of holistic celibacy is not simple and easy for adolescents and adults, otherwise everyone would simply stay celibate and just float away into bliss. Nature cannot allow that to happen otherwise all worldly interest and activity would stop. Nature has placed a built-in “anti-escape” mechanism to prevent everyone in the world from having too much fun and to keep the soul deeply entrenched and grounded in the body, otherwise everyone could get too intensely high to care enough about the essential game of survival. And of course, if all or most people stopped losing sexual fluids it could mean an end to most forms of human reproduction and therefore the emancipation of the environment from the destructive forces of overpopulation. All physical bodies are naturally genetically programed to reproduce themselves with as many mates as possible and as often as possible. After too long a period of sexual abstinence and sexual energy build-up, the soul would be much more likely to escape from the physical body and be able to find refuge in an inner paradise free of all the terrible limitations and afflictions of the physical world. Competition, natural selection and other developmental evolutionary forces would no longer have enough influence. The “centrifugal” pull of Mother Nature (Maya) is a “necessary evil” used by nature as a strong, overwhelming compulsion to relieve one’s self of sexual fluids either with a partner or without in order to keep one quite materialistic, competitive, possessive, addicted, stuck and grounded to the physical world throughout one’s lifetime.

However, once one learns how to redirect one’s sexual energy instead of losing vital sexual fluids, one discovers a much better way to live, and all those limiting natural laws and wasteful materialistic addictions can be transcended into a vastly superior, even God-like (centripetal) way of thriving. The sex force in a healthy person is so strong, that to redirect that force so that no vital fluids are ever lost again, would be as involved as changing the course of a massive river so that instead of it uselessly flowing into the sea, it is dammed up, stored in a huge lake, and then channeled through an immense hydroelectric generator. Massive energy can come from it in the form of tremendous, everlasting fulfillment instead of the usual temporary and inferior “fulfillment” of the common “procreational” style of sex or masturbation followed by days of emptiness and boredom. What is really more practical? Certainly not regular sex after experiencing all the awesome and magical benefits of holistic celibacy!

Allow me to list some of the benefits of holistic celibacy:

1) Ever increasing, everlasting joy, fulfillment and bliss

2) Much greater spiritual and material success

3) Really beautiful meditations

4) More concentration and energy

5) Real, permanent sexual fulfillment

6) Absolutely awesome sexual renaissance at any age

7) Massive improvement in one’s love life or relationship

8) Much more virility, strength and respect

9) Enlightenment, moksha and liberation from physical existence

10) Astral projection and free access to higher planes of consciousness

11) Development of all sorts of psychic powers

12) Emotional independence

13) Better memory and greater mind power

14) After 9 years of celibacy one develops the ability of absolute recall (memory of past lives, and of every moment in this lifetime)

15) There seems to be some claims that celibacy lengthens one’s lifespan and even stops the aging process. I think this effect depends on many other factors as well.

These benefits may all sound too good to be true, but they are not, these benefits are real and yogis have benefited from them for millenniums. The only drawback is that, at first, especially without the Science of Wholeness lifestyle, it is not very easy to be celibate, and at the same time one has to have constant very strong sexual desires to transmute or results would be inconsistent. In other words redirecting a stream would barely generate enough electricity for one house, but redirecting a massive, raging river, could easily power a whole city of light. Time is the main value factor of celibacy; ie., anyone can be celibate for 5 minutes, an hour or several days and such short lengths of time create little benefit. For any of the above benefits to develop, it could take several weeks to several months, even years of strict conservation and build-up of sexual fluids. Another important thing to know: the longer one has been celibate, the easier it becomes to remain celibate. The experience of conventional orgasm is naturally addicting, in fact it has the same effect on the brain as a shot of heroin. The more addictions one is free of, the better!

Lots of tax dollars and nervous energy are being expended on the latest glitzy ideas for creating alternate fuels to put in your car’s gas tank. Ethanol is the darling of the renewable energy club.

But have you taken a close look at the amount of energy it takes to produce a gallon of ethanol? We don’t need to look at statistics, just consider the simple facts about corn, which is used to make ethanol.

To produce ethanol from corn you must: till the soil, plant the seed in neat rows, fertilize, irrigate, harvest the corn kernels, transport them, process the kernels into ethanol, and transport the ethanol to the final user. Then you must drive your vehicle to the nearest station and pump it into your ethanol tank. At best, it amounts to a 2:1 ratio, energy out to energy in.

In all the frenzy to replace gasoline with ethanol we are forgetting an ideal energy alternative. Except in the desert, it grows practically everywhere: grass. And right now, there are farmers in this country that are waking up to the grass revolution. They have discovered a simple, low energy input, alternative energy source right under their nose.

Grass is made into small pellets – or densified – so it can be burned in a stove, furnace or boiler in any home. The same pellets can be used as fuel to generate electricity as well as for space heating, and the good news is that it takes very little energy to produce compared with ethanol. In fact, once the grass is planted you don’t need to till the soil again, just cut the grass and it grows again. At best, it amounts to a 14:1 ratio, energy out to energy in. That’s good, for you non-ratio people.

And you don’t need to transport the grass fuel far either. It could be consumed right in the neighborhoods where it is produced.

The amazing thing is that grass can be burned, using the right equipment, with far less carbon dioxide emission than practically any other form of heating fuel, especially ethanol.

So why isn’t the grass pellet industry taking off like wildfire? Because it doesn’t show up on your congress person’s radar screen. They are too focused on the corn market that is heavily subsidized by, guess who? Therefore, grass does not get the attention, research money, and tax credits that would help pull a grass pellet industry from idea to smoke.

I say phooey and shame on people that grovel at the governments “feed trough” anyway. We don’t need their money. A grass roots industry, no pun intended, is starting to take hold.

All you hayseeds across the country, listen up: I am behind you 100%. If the farmers in my area don’t do something soon, I will. In fact, I am looking for a pellet boiler for my new house.

Hmmm, I wonder if the elk on my fifteen acres would mind sharing some grass?

In the last few decades, the Earth has been heating excessively due to fossil fuel burning. As a result, people have been focusing on wind energy and other renewable energy sources to generate power. In fact, harnessing the wind is a popular practice in various countries, such as USA, Spain, Germany, India and Denmark. Like other sources of power generation, even wind energy offers some key benefits. In this post, we’ve discussed some of the benefits of wind energy to make sure you get a better understanding of this renewable source of energy.

Renewable Energy – Harnessing the Wind

As mentioned above, wind energy is one of the most common and affordable forms of renewable energy sources. In simple terms, it can be produced over and over again. According to experts, it’s the cleanest source of renewable energy. Currently, it’s being used by numerous developing and developed nations around the world. It has been able to fulfil the demand of numerous households in these countries.

Reduce Fossils Fuel Consumption

If wind is harnessed in the right manner, it can reduce the overall consumption of fossil fuels. Many countries have been considering using wind energy in the long run to generate power. According to experts, harnessing the wind could be the solution to the increasing demand for gas and petroleum products. Besides this, wind energy can also help reduce harmful gas emissions, which have become one of the major reasons for global warming.

Less Air and Water Pollution

It’s worth mentioning that wind energy doesn’t cause air or water pollution. This form of renewable energy exists until the end of time. It doesn’t release toxic gases or destroy the environment. Windmills and wind turbines are often found in open plains, gaps in mountains and coastal areas. In these places, wind is strong, steady and reliable. The perfect location for windmills is near constant flow of wind throughout the year. Moreover, powerful outbursts generate even more power.

Initial Cost

In the last few years, the cost of generating power from wind has come down substantially. The primary cost is involved with the installation of windmill or wind turbines. In addition to this, the land used to generate power can be used for a wide range of agricultural purposes. Moreover, when wind power is combined with solar energy, it provides steady, reliable, affordable and excellent form of renewable energy for developing and developed countries.

Create Many Jobs

It’s worth mentioning that harnessing the wind can create numerous jobs for local people. From installation to repair and maintenance, wind energy makes sure local technicians get job opportunities. Since most wind mills or wind turbines are located in hilly and coastal areas, people living in these regions can earn a good income from harnessing the wind.

According to experts, wind energy will continue to get popular in the coming years. A lot of nations will start using wind to generate power and electricity. It will not only help improve the environment, but also reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. However, it’s important to understand that technologies related to harnessing wind energy still need to be explored over the next few years.

2. Your hands are like rakes, feeling for any disruptions in the field, hot, cold, sticky, or tingly.
3. Feel for changes in density.
4. Make six or eight passes as you complete a circuit around the peramater of the body.
5. Flick your hands toward the earth and request that she take the energy and transform it into what ever is needed.

About the authorPart of the Stimulus Bill in Congress is dedicated towards Energy. In fact, $8.5 billion is earmarked for renewable energy projects. So what is renewable energy? Renewable energy or green energy is electrical power that is produced from clean, renewable energy sources. Renewable energy comes from sources that are less or zero-polluting like wind, solar and water. By utilizing the wind or water to turn turbines, or the sun to heat fuel cells you can produce electricity that is free from the use of fossil fuels. Traditional power sources like coal and natural gas power plants emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and deplete our fossil fuels. Utilizing green energy reduces smog, greenhouse gases and air pollution.

How do you choose Green Energy? Well, if you have a choice in who supplies your electricity, you can choose by switching your Texas electric service to a retail electric provider that offers energy like wind power. If you don’t have a choice in electric suppliers you can contact you current electric company and request renewable energy option credits. Most Texas electricity customers now have an option of utilizing a green energy product from their electricity supplier or by switching to a provider that has a renewable energy product. In fact, Texas now produces more wind power than any other state and aggressive plans to produce much more in the near future.

One of the most popular green energy options available is Green Mountain Energy (GME). GME is the largest retail provider of less-polluting electricity to residential and commercial customers in the U.S. and they have many plans to choose from. You can choose green energy credits or electricity service options like 100% wind power. Many businesses are also taking notice to their impact on our natural resources. There has been a tremendous movement in the past few years to energy and companies are taking notice to their carbon footprint and their impact on the environment. Many companies are using green energy credits, and taking on comprehensive energy efficiency initiatives for their entire organization. Hopefully the new Stimulus Bill and its publicity will inject more interested parties to renewable energy. The more people that choose to go green will obviously produce a wider the impact and further the development of renewable resources.

There are a lot of good reasons to go solar for your home or business. Many Bay Area homeowners have a solar system installed to protect themselves and their families against rising energy rates. While it is difficult to forecast exactly how much electricity costs will rise, or how quickly, one thing is certain – they will continue to go up. Conversely, an investment in solar for your home or business not only decreases or even entirely eliminate monthly electricity costs, it can also increase the property value of a home and lower the operating costs of a business. A third and very important financial incentive is the federal government’s generous solar energy tax credit.

The solar energy tax credit allows a homeowner to reduce the amount of income tax that they would otherwise have to pay the federal government. This credit is good for 30 percent of homeowner’s investment in their solar system, including solar panels, a charge converter, battery, and inverter, but only for the next three years. The credit will drop to 26 percent in 2020, and 22 percent in 2021. After 2021, the solar energy tax credit for residential customers will be eliminated entirely. While there is a chance the credit could be extended, many homeowners considering solar are planning to install their systems within the next few years to take advantage of the credit.

For commercial businesses looking to go more green, they can qualify for up to 70% off with solar tax incentives. Not only will you qualify for a 30% Federal Tax Credit but you can accelerate the depreciation of your solar system over 5 short years. These tax incentives are equivalent to 60%-70% of the system cost, leaving you needing only 3-4 years of energy savings to recover your entire investment.

In addition to the financial benefits of the solar energy tax credit, many people choose to go solar because they feel solar energy is a more environmentally responsible solution. Solar energy is both sustainable and renewable. Solar energy provides a zero-emission way to power buildings, and appliances, heat water, and refuel electric vehicles. The more popular and widespread that rooftop or carport solar panels become, the more they reduce the load on coal-burning power plants.

With buildings accounting for 38 percent of all carbon emissions in the U.S., going solar can significantly decrease our carbon footprint. A typical residential solar panel system will eliminate three to four tons of carbon emissions each year-the equivalent of planting over 100 trees annually. Going solar is not only a great way to go green, but taking advantage of the solar energy tax credit – before it expires – is a great way to save some green.
