A Simple Way to Save Electricity in Buildings. Allow Windows TO OPEN so that Outside Air Can Freely Blow In... Allow Humans to Control the Thermostat. #Activist #Ecology #Environment

About Half the Time, the Weather Outside is Fine... No Need to Run an Air conditioner OR a Heater... Just Leave those Machines OFF, Using Zero Energy. Just Open a Window and Enjoy the Fresh Air...  

 In Modern Office Buildings The Windows Do Not Open and The Thermostat is Set by OSHA Regulation. 

 I worked for Years in an Office Where the Thermostat was Locked inside a Box to Prevent Employees from Changing the Temperature. OFTEN The Setting was WRONG and People took Action to Correct it. 

 On Days that It was Too Cold... and The Air Conditioner was Blowing Cold Air... People Turned on SPACE HEATERS under their desks... REALLY! This Situation caused Extremely Large Energy Bills... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY! On Days that it was Too Hot and the Heater was Blowing... We Ran Small Electric Fans that blew on us as we were sitting at our computers... We Were Using Power to Heat AND Cool The Air at the same time... CRAZY! 

 and... We Found that The Plastic Box Around the Thermostat Could be Defeated Using a Fingernail File... Look at YOUR Thermostat in YOUR Office... so we changed the temperature AND NEVER TOLD THE BOSS... "It's Magic! I Have NO IDEA How The Thermostat Changed... " and It's a Classic Example of a MAN designing a Machine and TOTALLY FORGETTING THAT A COMMON TOOL could defeat the Machine... Because Only a WOMAN has a Fingernail File in her Purse... HA HA!


Adobe Houses are Very Energy Efficient and Quiet. Thick Mud Walls stay Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter. AND THEY RESIST FOREST FIRES...


When we rebuild Paradise and Santa Rosa, California it might be an Opportunity to Use Smart Design Ideas. I remember going inside the Mission Santa Clara on a Hot Summer Day... It was Cool... and Dark... Stained Glass Windows...
Built over 200 years ago, it has withstood Earthquakes. Especially 1906 San Francisco and Oakland During the World Series Baseball Game...

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

Lighting for Streets and Roadways Provided by Sustainable Solar Power... SEPCO’s solar powered street lighting systems are an efficient means to provide lighting without the need for standard utility power. Every system provides cost savings by eliminating the need to trench standard electric wires for installation and providing no electric bill for the life of the system. Solar street lights have been installed on highways, freeways, neighborhood streets, rural roads, etc. and provide security, sustainability and an overall green image.

I did The Harmonic Convergence 2020 Last Night at 9 PM and Really Enjoyed the Sunset and the Emergence of the Constellation of The Big Dipper... Which reminds me of the Song - Follow the drinking Gourd - all about slaves escaping to the North... anyway... there was a gentle breeze and I totally delighted in the trees moving... the meditation DID MAKE ME MORE AWARE... No Aliens BUT... Maybe Tonight... 7/14/2020 Interesting Analog Synthesizer Sounds... and Bells... Playing in the Background of this video... That reminds me of a Band I Played in during the 1980s... We Had a Random assembly of Synthesizer Players and Guitarists assemble in a friends basement... with a LASER Lightshow... and we made... Cosmic Noises until the sun came up... really got into a Fine Trance...

We Need an Energy Efficient Air Conditioner: We ought to Start a "Manhattan Project" to build our way out of Climate Change. Here are Two Worthy Ideas! gvan42

Last Summer we had Over a Week of 113 Degree Heat... and a Mighty BILL... as Global Warming becomes IN YOUR FACE REAL... People all Over the Earth will want to buy Air Conditioners... Especially Europe... Where the vast majority of people Do Not Own Air Conditioners... and Old People were Dying during the heat wave... and COST of Power is a Big Factor... What IF there was a Better Way?

Air conditioners are terrible for the environment, which is complicated by the fact that they’re increasingly necessary as outside temperatures increase. This could be one solution.


What IF We Made This a Practical Worldwide Solution? Maybe the Federal Government COULD Switch Funding for Fossil Fuel Subsidies and Use that Money to Do Good?

Share these Ideas with Your Elected Officials... Maybe they Could Work Smart! Pass Laws that Actually Make America Great... Ya Think?

A Better Way to Cool Ourselves
A new technique doesn’t deprive us of fresh air. And because it uses less energy, it’s good for the climate as well. As an international collaboration of researchers from institutions in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Singapore, we developed a simple, cheap, scalable solution to keeping people comfortable without regulating indoor air temperature. Our technology relies on the concept of radiant heat transfer, which involves the cooling or heating of the surfaces surrounding people, instead of cooling or heating the air. We all experience radiant heat transfer, even if we’ve rarely heard the term. Radiant heating is the feeling of the hot sun on our face during a cool spring day. Radiant heating is the direct warmth of a campfire keeping us toasty during a cool summer night. Radiant cooling is the same physics, but in the opposite direction. Radiant heat always flows from warmer to cooler surfaces. Just as the campfire loses its heat to our cool skin, and we feel warm, on a hot summer day, we can surround our body with cold surfaces, and feel comfortable. We lose our body heat to the cool surfaces around us. In an initial demonstration of our radiant system that we installed in Singapore, called the “Cold Tube,” we made people feel cool with 100 percent fresh air using 50 percent less energy, and therefore, half the associated carbon emissions required by a typical air conditioner. In our latest research, we show that this technology can be used in every major climate zone, and would result in an average energy savings of 10–45 percent, while increasing ventilation substantially in critical spaces like public schools.

Realistically; The ONLY REAL Solution to Global Warming is... Turn Up The Air Conditioner...

I Live near Sacramento and it's Just Too Damn Hot in the Afternoons... But We Have AC and It's Comfortable Indoors... Thankfully, OUR Power Company is SMUD and They Get Their Electricity from Hydroelectric Dams on the American River... When PG&E was having Blackouts, We Had Electricity... 

If this Place Burns to the Ground during a Wildfire (a very real possibility) and I Survive... I'll go live in Eureka or Arcata, CA where it's Cool and Rainy... 

Young People Face a Seemingly Impossible Situation... and I Wish Them Luck... Moving to CANADA where The Temperature is Cooler only works for a Few Years and then THEY RUN OUT OF NORTH... 

One of My Friends is a Catholic Hispanic Person and He Has a "Great" Excuse for Breeding Like Crazy... He Says it takes a Lot of Children Paying Into the Social Security System to Make it Financially Viable... Of Course, That's Just CrazyTalk Designed to Justify His Actions...

I've Decided to Make This MY SYMBOL... Whenever I Sign a Message or Communicate With Someone... This is Part of My Signature - and the word "gvan42"

I've Decided to Make This MY SYMBOL... Whenever I Sign a Message or Communicate With Someone... This is Part of My Signature - and the word "gvan42" - It was designed to AUTOMATICALLY Cause the Viewer to Go into a Trance... Basically MY Effort to Build on the Work of Piet Mondrian... You Know... Just LOOKING At It Makes You TRIP OUT! I've Gotten Positive Feedback... Especially Pleasant when Communicating with Cosmic People... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Mondrian
