To: All of my energy friends

I am writing you an idea to achieve sustainable evolution
and development for man kind. If you accept this idea you may write me your
opinion and inform your friends too, to try for it.

What forces us to think for new methods?

As you all have been informed through media, atomic disaster
in Japan these days and the ones happened former in other regions of our
planet, there seems an urgent need to substitute wise methods of energy
production for man needs. I like most of you believe that renewable energies
are better substitute for polluting methods of energy production. I introduce
my idea to you all. I hope it will be analyzed by all the countries that can
afford for this idea.

The benefits of the method:

If we produce compressed air by wind energy in any place
that there are appropriate wind velocities, especially in deserts of the world.
We will have many benefits for our planet. Harmony will govern on our
environment if we use such ideas. Our evolution will continue, we will be able
to achieve sustainable development for all nations.

The processes:

Compressed air produced in deserts and appropriate locations
could be stored in under ground reservoirs. This process causes a small
pressure difference between deserts and other wind farms and big cities, lakes,
seas, oceans using this idea.  Compressed
air and air pressure difference produced in this process will deliver some good
opportunities to us.

A -The
mentioned compressed air in under ground reservoirs can be transferred through
appropriate pipe nets to cities.

B -In
cities compressed air can be used to deliver us mechanical and electrical
energy need of our cities.

C –
Compressed air can be injected in to special compressed vessels to be used by
our transport vehicles and boats, etc.

D –
Compressed air delivering its pressure energy will be released in to atmosphere
in cities. It will replace polluted air of cities.

E –
Compressed air yields us a good amount of fresh water as by product in above
mentioned big wind farms in deserts. The fresh water produced will be enough to
have some new settlements in deserts.

F –
High vapor content air transferring to deserts will cause more precipitation
there while more fresh water can also be produced by compressors.

G -
Oceans and seas have big potentials of wind energy too. Countries like Canada,
United States, Russia, India, China and many other countries can gain many
times more energy from wind potential energy from the seas and oceans
surrounding them too. 

H-
One of pollutants of our planet is the exhaust gas of transport vehicles. Using
compressed air

For our vehicles working with compressed
air will prevent these pollutions to enter to our atmosphere.

I –
This idea can produce more jobs than the traditional forms of energy.

Question:
 

Atomic science can be used for
many humanistic purposes. Why we are not using renewable energies like solar,
wind, biomass and other renewable ones? 
I believe we can substitute renewable energies not only instead of atomic
reactors producing electricity but also power plants using fossil fuels
too.

This may be a bit "off track" with respect to energy conservation but, a perfect example of the profit motive being considered before good sense can be seen in our economy. Risky loans were made, then packaged and sold to investors looking for a very high return on their investment. Their greed got in the way of good sense and none of the ultimate investors realized (before it was too late) just how risky it is to invest in sub-prime loans. Now that economic panic has set in, the tax payer will end up bailing out the troubled banks and investment companies while the people that put these deals together have salted away their profits in things far safer than sub-prime loans.

I've been in the commercial real estate business for over 30 years and have seen many business cycles come and go. However, I've never seen one quite like this where we have most bankers scared to death to make commercial real estate loans. I think they have figured out that there will be a lot of business closings in 2009 and beyond that will impact the industry across the company. Since commercial real estate loans typically are made in a fashion where they "come due" in 5 to 10 years after being made (to give the bank an opportunity to adjust the rate, etc.) investors are already finding their banks reluctant to extend the existing loans....either the bank has  been told to reduce its exposure in commercial real estate loans or bank management is just plain scared of what the future may hold. As a result, there are many commercial property foreclosures ahead.

Hopefully, the continuing difficulties in our economy will motivate more people to do the right thing and look for ways to personally conserve energy. With any luck, this change in attitude may end up motivating corporate America and our elected representatives to pay closer attention to this long neglected issue.
