Alternative Energy in Ireland
By Dave Kettner

The Irish are currently pursuing independence and the further development of their robust economy through the implementation of research and development into alternative sources. At the time of this writing, nearly 90% of Ireland's needs are met through importation—the highest level of foreign product dependence in the nation's entire history. This is a very precarious situation to be in, and the need for developing alternative sources in Ireland is sharply perceived. Ireland also seeks to conserve and rejuvenate its naturally beautiful environment and to clean up its atmosphere through the implementation of alternative supplies. The European Union has mandated a reduction in sulphuric and nitric oxide emissions for all member nations. Green is needed to meet these objectives. Hydroelectric power has been utilized in Ireland in some areas since the 1930s and has been very effective; however, more of it needs to be installed. Ireland also needs to harness the wave power of the Atlantic Ocean, which on its west coast is a potential supply that the nation has in great store.

Ireland actually has the potential to become an exporter, rather than a nation so heavily dependent on importation. This potential resides in Ireland's substantial wind, ocean wave, and biomass-producing alternative potentials. Ireland could become a supplier of ocean wave-produced electricity and biomass-fueled to continental Europe and, as they say, “make a killing”. At the present time, Ireland is most closely focused on reaching the point where it can produce 15% of the nation's electricity through wind farms, which the government has set as a national objective to be reached by 2010. But universities,

Stan Deyo and The Millennium Ark
Stan Deyo, famous for his research into Earth Changes, is a fascinating author and lecturer, with insights into Aether physics while also promoting an awareness about conspiratorial forces undermining freedom in the world. He is an alternatives expert on solar cycles, emergency preparedness, and end time predictions. (PESWiki; March 6, 2010)
Izumi claims their run-of-river turbine is cheaper than grid power
A Slovenian turbine-generator that is designed to work in relatively slow and shallow moving water supposedly could not only provide clean energy but at a price point many times cheaper than the cheapest grid power presently available. (PESN; March 5, 2010)
PlasmERG among EE Times' ACE Award finalists
PlasmERG Inc, who is developing a noble gas plasma expansion motor providing clean, cheap, and reliable power has been selected as a top five finalist among the 'Most Promising Renewable Energy Technologies' category for EE Times' prestigious Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Awards.

Free Energy hope for doomsday and ET disclosure
The primary reason why most national governments have been suppressing UFO sightings and downplaying the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation and technology is that once people realize that these things are real, then their creative genius will liberated, and replications will follow shortly, making oppressive governments obsolete.

911 Truth Video Collection from Winter 2010
There have been some excellent 911 Truth videos produced recently that deserve your attention, whether you are already convinced that there is a conspiracy and cover-up from elements within the U.S. government, or you have yet to come to that conclusion. It is relevant to free energy technology which could help liberate us from such Orwellian plots. (PESWiki; Feb. 25, 2010)


research institutes, and government personnel in Ireland have been saying that the development of ocean wave technology would be a true driving force for the nation's economy and one which would greatly help to make Ireland independent. A test site for developing wave ocean has been established in Ireland, less than two miles off the coast of An Spideal in County Galway Bay. This experimental ocean wave harnessing site is known as “Wavebob”. The most energetic waves in the world are located off the West coast of Ireland, says Ireland's Marine Institute CEO Dr. Peter Heffernan. The technology to harness the power of the ocean is only just emerging and Ireland has the chance to become a market leader in this sector. David Taylor, CEO of the Sustainable Initiative,or SEI, tells us that SEI is committed to innovation in the renewable sector. Wave is a promising new renewable resource which could one day make a significant contribution to Ireland's electricity generation mix thereby further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

Padraig Walshe, the president of the Irish Farmers Association, tells us that with the closure of the sugar beet industry, an increasing amount of Irish land resources will become available for alternative uses, including bioenergy production. Today, renewable sources meet only 2% of Ireland’s total consumption. From a farming perspective, growing crops will only have a viable future if they provide an economic return on investment and labour, and if the prospect of this return is secure into the future. Currently the return from crops is marginal and is hampering the development of the industry. Biomass energies need to be further researched by Ireland.

WattBusters Slashes Prices
<img border="0" src="http://www.wattbusters.com/images/announce.jpg" align="left" width="96" height="125" hspace="10" vspace="20">Good news people. We've cut the price of many products on our website. Due to volume purchasing, <a href="http://www.wattbusters.com"> WattBusters</a> can now offer the same great products at lower prices and pass the savings on to you. <br><br> As products come to market, we are able to work with manufacturers to acquire larger lots of new and current items. With an eye toward cutting energy usage and the resulting reduction of pollutants in the air and water, we're excited by the positive impact each item brings to the environment. Changing a light bulb seems like such a small thing but when you add up all the energy-saving light bulbs being installed all over the country, we're making BIG changes.New Cold Cathode Dimmable and LED Bulbs
<img border="0" src="http://www.wattbusters.com/images/cathodeFT.gif" align="left" width="55" height="135" hspace="10" vspace="5">For all of the people who have searched for an energy-saving replacement bulb to use in dimmable chandelier fixtures, WattBusters finally has the ticket. We just acquired the <a href="http://www.wattbusters.com/store/customer/search.php?substring=cathode"> TCP cold cathode</a> line of light bulbs. The bulbs are excellent for dimming and rapid on/off cycling applications and they use either 3 or 5 Watts. Light output is roughly equivalent to 15 - 30 Watt incandescent bulbs. <br><br>The FlameTip series is a sharp looking bulb that comes in medium or candelabra base and has clear, frosted or white coatings. The bulbs dim very smoothly and are a great energy-saver for any multi-light chandelier. The rated life is 25,000 hours so you pretty much install them and forget them.
