Did you know that most scientists and astronomers (who are studying
the subject) agree that the chance of a large-scale solar storm
happening is inevitable, if not imminent?
But so what?
Here's what: A large-scale solar storm could easily cause a major
blackout across the entire United States lasting 12 months or more.
And here's why...
Our power grid is extremely complex... and... at the same time, in
bad need of upgrades and repairs. It's so bad, Bill Richardson, the
former head of the Department of Energy under the Clinton
administration, stated that...
The United States Was "A Superpower
With A Third-World Electricity Grid."
In any case, large transformers make up the key links in our power
grid system. And should a a large-scale solar storm occur today, most,
if not all, of these large transformers would be damaged and require
replacement.
And therein lies the problem.
These large transformers are complicated pieces of equipment that
take a minimum of one year to build and install... and...
There Is No Reserve Supply Of Them!
That being the case, I submit that NOW is the time all Americans
should be considering alternative sources of power. And, in my mind--and
the minds of many others--solar is the most logical source of backup
and/or alternative power available today.
Admittedly, there are a lot of choices and questions that come up
when considering solar power as a reliable backup and/or alternative
power source.
And that's why I recently commissioned a book that gives you all the
answers and resources you'll need to decide whether taking the leap to
solar is right for you. It should have been titled:
POWER COMPANIES WANT THIS BOOK BANNED!
How Solar Power Can Save Your Butt When An Outage
Or Disaster Strikes And Provide An Endless Supply Of
Free Electricity The Rest Of The Time
But we chose a somewhat more civilized title... Solar Energy
Breakthroughs and it's awesome!
