Our Mission
Our mission is to help you understand the energy costs and supply that affects your daily life, why the population increse in the next two decades will stretch the traditional supply, and what we all can do about finding solutions
We are constantly being told that we are running out of energy we can afford, and that by using the energy we need we are irreversibly heating up the earth. Are these facts true? Is there an answer other than using less energy?
The Institute for Energy Resourcefulness (IER) wants to educate you past these fears to see a real and positive solution. There are answers to keeping your lifestyle, cleaning your cities and saving the environment. IER has a mandate to look at all forms of energy and investigate innovative means of getting the most out of the energy we can make available. Our initial focus is to get America off of foreign oil while reducing Greenhouse gas emissions, so that we buy the time (both economically and environmentally) to develop other energy resourceful ideas.
Other topics IER will be be addressing are the use of white or light colored roofing, the value of using LED lighting, the need for a new generation nuclear power, the costs of coal and natural gas power plant CO2 sequestration, the use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for aviation fuel, the benefits of electricity distribution using superconductors cooled by LNG, battery technology pros and cons, etc.
The first and most important step
But first we will discuss and develop a plan for transportation solutions, in a realistic way which while helping the environment can immediately start to wean us from foreign oil, and keep this money home while creating jobs, and increasing our economic prosperity and our national security. It involves using both our fossil natural gas and renewable natural gas that we can produce at home. Our proposed solution can be massively scaled up to meet the gigantic amounts needed for a real answer to our problem. We have a vision that will allow the future of motoring in our age of oil supply stress and global warming to be the most exciting experience possible. Along the way we will inform you about reasons many other paths are not as good, and about ones that are potentially better, but quite far in the future.
There are other things we must do
Taking care of the critical problem of transportation energy supply, we can then focus on enhancing our supply of renewable energy. It will be a lot easier because we will have a lot more money to do it. We will also have a lot more time - though not forever! We discuss these overall initiatives and plans and in doing so we hope the you see how bright our future really will be.
We welcome you to look inside and decide whether IER's plan of positive solutions makes sense to you.
About our LOGO --IER's LOGO depicts the never ending 'circle of flames' man creates from fuels derived from the Sun's energy to power his needs. It emphasizes IER's focus: to find ways to use this energy wisely by recycling it whenever possible, and always striving to increase the efficiency of its use. IER will emphasize the recycling of all kinds of wastes and the anaerobic digestion of fast growing bio-mass to make renewable natural gas.
