Turning the Economy Green

To the Reader of this Blog -

Thank you for your patronage and your patience as I have not been updating the content of this site frequently.  To be completely transparent, I was conducting research in the green procurement area while also doing research in other areas including attempting to solve a personal finance issue.  Basically, I was attempting to define what I thought would happen next in the world and that has lead me to writing my first book.

http://www.amazon.com/wealthless-ebook/dp/B0053GAU1A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1317172291&sr=8-1

The book “wealthless” is not about Green Procurement but does lead to a discussion about a green energy future.  The remainder of the book, the first few sections of it, discuss the economy, what makes a good economy and what is absolutely fundamental to all human activity.  Energy.

We need energy and we need more energy and we need it now.  In “wealthless” I show that energy conservation, a “green” thing to do, is not what we want.  Wealth is in fact created from use of energy.  Conserving energy as opposed to producing more energy is akin to living off a savings account or some inheritance fund rather than working.  It is only a matter of time before your life is impacted.

Perhaps as important, I show that the rate of unemployment in the United States, if not also elsewhere, is directly correlated to the amount of energy used per person.  The more energy used the lower the rate of unemployment.  The less energy the more people are looking for a job.  We can fix our economy by moving toward more and more energy – not just conservation.

The only question is how.

This is discussed at length in the book.  In summary, the green alternatives often explained are not necessarily an immediate solution.  For example, most science indicates that it takes as much energy to create ethanol, derived from growing renewable corn crops, as is created.  Wind appears to be a great solution but solar needs new ideas.

If you are interested, please consider clicking above and downloading the ebook.  If you remain interested in green procurement, please be patient.  I do hope to get back to publishing new articles soon.

With Regards to All.
