A Civilized Restructuring: Energy Use & Release

This is about changing our approach in terms of just how we deal with commuting, transportation, movement, energy exchanges.

How we as a civilization realize the exchange of energy in a way that is balanced - so we can work, connect, link and also so these connections are not in effect, dependent on a non-sustainable ways and means.

If the exchange of energy use were in balance, would we be concerned about the air, the water, the food, the economy, the drilling and exploration of wilderness - something in the basic approach seems off...

Will it really work to power existing conditions with alternate energy sources? Within systems designed to consume - does it matter what is fed to this? Wind, Sun, Oil, Corn, Water, Garbage - if all the system does is take in - will eventually we find bigger and more consumptive means? This is a kind of development.

Is it truly progressive if what we do is make a consumptive power that takes regular gas and/or natural gas, runs on solar power and/or electricity. How does this come to sound efficient to us? 'It can travel further distances on more types of fuel...' again, a consumptive direction. Diverse and perhaps more efficient - taking less of each thing to run the same or further distances, but ultimately designed to drive the consumer.

This is not about taking nothing - this is about what is returned. Exhaust. Would it help to broaden understanding of the process of putting any fuel through an alembic (a vessel which transmutes one substance into another), an understanding of the exchange which results in energy?

Intake Compression Ignition Propulsion Exhaust

It's important for focus to be on balanced approach(es) - understanding not just the energy received, the distance gained in travel, but also what is returned. The Balance and the Effect.

A light bulb that uses less energy and last 7 years is great. Mercury in landfills from discarded, broken light bulbs is not.

The human form is contingent upon conditions suitable for a human existence. While the air, water, land, food is all taken through mechanized processes, then taken in by us - we submerge ourselves in the residue, exhaust and energies of these machined bodies and then are ourselves affected - acted on. What will we become? What will the world become?
