Energy Production vs Energy Reduction
It used to be cool to try to reduce energy consumption.
Remember when it used to be cool to do everything we could as a society to reduce the amount of energy consumed?
Energy reduction was something that everybody could get on board with because it was something the common person could be a part of.
Is anybody up for turning their entire roof and backyard into a solar panel field?
The reason people aren’t buying into becoming energy producers is because it isn’t feasible. It is cost-prohibitive and a person earning $60,000 per year or less isn’t going to invest $20,000 into becoming an energy producer.
Being an energy reducer was entirely possible and everybody could spend $5 on an LED lightbulb, $100 on energy controls, and even $10 per month on an app that would enable you to control your energy consumption on your smartphone.
Yet, governments the world over have turned from energy reduction to energy production.
Governments now insist that they raise your taxes so they can pay the Chinese government directly and indirectly for cost-prohibitive energy production in the forms of solar panel fields and wind turbine fields.
