AS A PERSONAL "THANKS" TO MY READERS...

I wanted to tell you how excited I am about the proactive response I received from my readers about going green! Many have chosen to build and construct their own solar panels and wind turbines, while others have opted to do their part by doing things like swapping all their incandescent light bulbs to Compact Fluorescent (CFL). Every move counts, and you should all be giving yourself a good pat on the back for doing our planet such a big favor (not to mention adding more dollars to your bank account in savings!).

TAKE THE BIG "GREEN LEAP" AND GET A FREE BONUS FROM ME
I am hoping that my next offer will push all you fence sitters into taking the ultimate step in going green. What I mean by "ultimate step" is by producing your own energy. The most simple and cost effective approach is to build your own solar panel or wind turbine to generate your own energy.

I have spent the past few months writing a new book that I personally guarantee will save you hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars per year! My original plan was to sell this book for $29.99, but I've reconsidered and would like to make an even bigger impact to the environment. I am willing to give this book away for FREE to everyone who goes green NOW! If you decide to purchase any one of the following solar or wind turbine blueprint books, I will give you my book FREE! How is that for a deal? Click on any of the following boxes below to take you to the official websites.

In order to send you my free book, I will need proof of purchase for any one of the above 3 products. If you can email your receipt ID to greentoolman@gmail.com, I will send you a copy of Green Living within 3-5 days of your purchase.

EFFICIENT PLANET DELIVERS THE GOODS ON GREEN ENERGY!

One of the my subscribers just put me on to a new company called Efficient Planet and by all accounts they mean business when it comes to bringing consumers great DIY green energy solutions. Like Earth 4 Energy, Efficient Planet provides comprehensive plans for building solar panels and wind turbines. You might be thinking, yeah so what? That’s just more of the same information. Well not so fast, where Efficient Planet sets itself apart from E4E is by offering a third book called “Everyday Living Efficiency”. This book offers great information everyone can use to help them consume less energy and save both money and the environment. This 50-page book looks at ways to make things like: lighting, windows, doors, fireplaces, basements and even carpet more efficient and earth friendly. If you are looking for information on how to make a dramatic reduction in the amount of energy you use or if you’re just looking for instructions on how to build a great wind turbine or solar power system, Efficient Planet has you covered.

QUALITY OF THE BLUEPRINTS - A COMPARISON vs. EARTH 4 ENERGY

As far as quality goes in terms of actually following instructions to build a Solar Panel, I definitely have to say that Earth 4 Energy wins hands down. The Earth 4 Energy “readability” in terms of explaining how to build is far superior. In many cases, I had to re-read the Efficient Planet blueprints a few times to actually understand what needs to be done (I finally understood after re-reading). Earth 4 Energy also provides it’s solar audience video instructions which gives their product a major advantage. When comparing each company’s wind turbine plans, I would say both are mechanically very similar.

MY CONCLUSION OF EFFICIENT PLANET

I would have to say, if you are looking to build a solar panel, then definitely go for Earth 4 Energy as their product contains video instructions and better quality solar blueprints. If you are considering building the wind turbine, you may want to consider purchasing Efficient Planet as it comes with the bonus Everyday Living Efficiency book.

As the consumer you know what you need better than anyone else, so I recommend you visit both Earth 4 Energy and Efficient Planet and decide what is best for your needs. You can’t go wrong with these two excellent products.

The Impending Energy Crisis

The world’s demand for energy grows exponentially with each successive decade. This demand is starting to push energy production to a point where the capacity to create energy is less than the demand for it. This will have a huge impact on how we live our lives. We have seen an example of this problem in California during the summer of 2006. The demand for energy was larger than the supply, which resulted in rolling blackouts across the state to compensate for lack of available power. Imagine if this scenario becomes an everyday occurrence across North America. Will you be able to adjust your life style to deal with such an event?

What is Driving the Energy Crisis?

The increased need for electrical energy is due, in large part, by advances in technology. As new products come to market that are designed to make our lives easier the demand for these products grow. The more products we have the more energy we consume. A great example of this is the home computer. Twenty years ago very few homes in America had a home computer, now it’s the norm. Estimates show there are now more home computers in the United States than there are homes, which would indicate there are as many homes with two or more computers than there are with none. Another huge factor in the world’s increased need for energy is the emergence of China and India in the global economy. As these two nations, which represent roughly twenty five percent of the world’s total population, become more prosperous their energy consumption needs are growing proportionality to that prosperity. The impact of these two giants will have an enormous impact on global energy consumption and production.

What We Know about Energy

We have always known the energy we use everyday is not unlimited, yet we tend to take it for granted. Oil, gas, power, even water all have limited availability. Yet, we have not taken the proper precautions to deal with the inevitable shortage of these resources. Oil and gas have already shown a great deal of instability in the world’s financial markets, with prices steadily increasing for the last five years. It is estimated that 50 percent of the world’s available oil has been consumed. At the current rate of consumption the rest of the world’s oil stock will be completely consumed in the next 32 years. This estimate is bound to increase with the emergence of China and India. This is no longer a distant event that we can shift to future generations, we will face this during our lifetime.

What are the alternate energy options?

As a responsible world citizen we should all start looking for alternate energy solutions like solar energy and wind energy. Employing these alternative power solutions is extremely feasible and cost-effective. You will not only cut down your power bills but also contribute to a better future.
