The greatest challenge facing those who advocate clean energy is fear
on the part of the companies and people who currently control the
world's big energy sources. One of the facts of clean energy is its
freedom from connection to a finite source of energy. The wind will
always blow, where it wants to blow, and there is no way to control
it. The only way to control energy from wind is to control the
technology used to harness that wind and put it to use for human
purposes. Those who control energy production today fear the day when
energy is available to anyone with little or no need to purchase its
availability for use. They see their monopoly on the world's wealth
disappearing, and no way of recapturing it. People will have real
freedom available to them. They will be able to sustain their own
lives without paying for the privilege. The differences between the
"first world" who are the haves, will fade away as the peoples of the
"third" and "second worlds" find they can have the same privileges and
become "haves" too. The world's economy and "civilizations" will have
to change to allow for a place where people are much freer, where
people are more able to do as they wish as long as they harm no
others, where there is no more slavery to work in order to have safe
food, clothing and housing. Those who are in power see this and are
afraid, very afraid, of what the world can become. I believe you are
going to see them fighting clean, safe, renewable energy production
until the "little people" of the world revolt and begin producing the
energy themselves - whether legal or not.
