The Migration to Renewable Energy Requires Enthusiasm; Let’s Make It So in 2014

According to Emerson, “Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm.”

I’ve resolved that it is the truth of this statement that will inspire a great deal of my writing during the coming year.  I need to believe, as do you,  that humankind “beats the rap,” that we work ourselves out of the mess in which we find ourselves.  And yes, the signs are all there. We possess the technology to harness the vast amount of energy we receive from the sun,  with a level of cost effectiveness that rivals our use of fossil fuels that are ruining our planet.

Truly, we’re right around the corner from a fully sustainable approach to energy here on our home planet.  So let’s dedicate ourselves in 2014 to moving the ball across the goal line.  What will be required? Little more than what we have in place right this minute: a powerful purpose, ever-improving clean energy technology and a ton of enthusiasm.
