Living green is on many people's list today and at the top of their list is energy sources. While some turn to solar panels others try to find alternative energy to power their home. Could it be possible that a single man has come up with a device to not only lower energy cost, but get rid of electric bills all while making this world a little greener? What about the miners who risk their lives daily to supply us with electricity?
Coal Miners
Across the United States, we are hearing more and more about miners being trapped inside the mines. It has taken months for some to be rescued while others never make it out alive. Family members worry each day they send their loved ones off into the mine to dig for coal. Will they return home safe and sound or will their life be taken by the mine?
Cutting Cost and Saving Lives
When Howard Johnson of HoJo Motors began tinkering with the idea of a magnetic powered motor to generate electricity, people thought he was crazy. Johnson was the kind of man who thought outside the box never sticking to the science world's rules. He made his own rules as he went.
With electricity cost rising and the economy in such a state, the need to cut cost is essential. The HoJo Motor Company believes that with the magnetic power generator Johnson invented lives can be saved, cost can be cut, and a reliable source of energy can be obtained.
Different Types to Choose
With several different types of green energy on the market today, people have options to choose from when they decide to go green. It is within reach of all who want to eliminate their electric bills and thus support a greener lifestyle. Types of green energy:
hydropower - the power of water
solar power - the power of the sun's rays
wind power - the power of the wind
geothermal power - involves trapping heat underground which can created hot water or steam
biomass - involves burning biomass fuels to heat water creating electricity through a steam turbine
magnetic motors - creates power through magnets
Power Outages
Every year thousands of homes lose power due to storms and other natural disasters. In 2000, California suffered a 12-month electrical crisis due to energy shortages and in 2003, over 300,000 people lost power due to a wind storm. During the 2007 year, nearly 1 million people across the U.S. lost power because of a series of ice storms. In 2011, flooding in Australia knocked over 150,000 people out of power. Some of those homes were without power for several weeks.
Could the magnetic generator be an answer to that problem, as well? Only time will tell if these types of green energy sources will help eliminate power outages and lower electric bills. Is this something you would consider for your home?
Going green is a wonderful way to live. While my family doesn't live totally green, everyone needs a goal and living green is definitely a goal worth shooting for.
