Sustainable Energy in the United States
Energy is key for the very survival of any nation Modern times require an intense amount of energy As from year to year pass by, the requirement of energy in the USAis increasing steadily With 330+ million population in the nation We find it useful for the government, industry, and the concerned third parties to invest in energy The energy industry for the most part has enjoyed considerable investment, as it is seen as a safe harbor during financial uncertainty Though during times of turmoil, big corporations do earn huge profits, which benefits its shareholders, and not the populace
Transition to renewable resources are at full swing in theAmerican Republic. Both parties do recognize the need to stop relying on foreign oil.This is true for the past years the nation was forced to defend oil interests, mainly in the Middle-east These same interests were also empowering, and supporting behind the scenes those who hate Christianity, and revile the Jews It is time for the nation to recognize the primary importance of energy independence and set a course to energy freedom The three most needful parts of energy freedom are: energy production, energy distribution with price flexibility, and lessen energy consumption
To this end, coal is the most untapped resource in the nation Around 1 trillion short tons of coal is found in the nation With that 1 trillion, 400 billion short tons of coal is extractable The average yearly sale of coal is 1 billion tons, though this has decreased by ~25% Coal is the most important commodity in the nation Anew black revolution, akin to the green revolution (grain production) must be initiated, and used to fuel the growth of the nation, and also those of friendly nations The benefits of coal are the following: it is cheap, reliable, readily found, no technological hurdles to cross, easily extractable, and above all, employs a countless number of people in the nation An estimated ~10,000 lost their jobs due to coal power plants being shut down in the nation
In fact, resource allocation needs to be reevaluated Government, energy sector, and educational institutions should invest in coal technologies This is necessary for the production, utilization of vast reserves in the nation Otherwise, these reserves wouldn’t be under utilized or completely abandoned for no reason, total loss to the nation Coal can be converted to oil, and then to gas The conversion process is straightforward, and does not require intense technical know-how Once the coal is converted to oil, though, this is a very inefficient, and time-consuming process The converted oil is then again transformed to gas, as needed The oil can be stored as it is, and when demand is needed, changed to gas The gasification process is faster, as oil is vaporized. For vaporization, the oil must be gasoline, and not crude oil.The lighter the oil, the easier it is to gasify. Fracturing is another process by which oil is separated to light crude, and then gasified, as needed.
To conclude, coal is essential for the betterment of this nation Coal is cheaper, and more reliable, and does not need battery stations to keep the energy flowing More reliable, and useful, even during times of war As coal can be changed to diesel To wit, coal is still king, this is because all nations still use, and will continue to use to the very definite future
