We need to think about how we better utilize and use energy in order to <strong>produce<\/strong> and <strong>manufacture<\/strong> products and services that society can use to better us all.\u00a0 I believe if we do focus on this, naturally, we will produce \u201cgreener\u201d energy.\u00a0 However right now we are just fooling ourselves that by making a Green Economy we will be better in the long run.\u00a0\u00a0 I never have seen a case where if I challenge my means\/path it produces a better end.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">I am pro-renewables in many ways.\u00a0 The subsidization path, particularly without innovation beyond the engineering sense, will not lead to a better outcome in the long run.\u00a0\u00a0 I discuss this some more in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/allenergyconsulting.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/30\/green-energy-better-and-more-sustainable-without-subsidy\/\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; color: #0000ff; font-size: small;\">previous blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">We positively and evocatively challenge the current thinking involving any aspect of energy use.
