Solar Scout
Thomas Breaux of Lake Charles pick a rather unusual project for his quest to become an Eagle Scout. It was unusual for two reasons: 1) Lake Charles is “drill baby drill” country; and 2) Solar energy is still not cheap. Breaux’s project was provide enough solar energy to make at least one classroom at his school a “Net Zero” classroom. Breaux learned about the benefits of solar and how responsibility for our environment falls on all our shoulders from his middle school science teacher, Judy Reeves. Her classroom would end up as Breaux’s Net Zero Lab.
The gas prices this past year have seriously damaged our economy and society. We must get on with becoming energy independent.We can’t take another year like this past. Jeff Wilson has a wonderful new book out about the energy crisis and what it would take for America to become energy independent. It covers every aspect of oil, what it’s uses are besides gasoline, our reserves, our depletion of it. Every type of alternative energy is covered and it’s potential to replace oil. He even has proposed legislative agenda’s that would be necessary to implement these changes along with time frames. This book is profoundly informative and our country needs to become more informed and move forward with becoming energy independent. It is called The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence NOW.
