WHO IS BUCK BUCKLEY
• My Beliefs– What we were taught in school is what they want us to
know, but not necessarily the truth (solar decathlon)– Electrical energy is free and always has been– Water is free– High Tech models got us here and Low Tech natural models
are the solution– We can have a sustainable economy without war– Co-operation not competition– Local not Corporate Monopoly– There Is enough for everyone-scarcity vs abundance
[Note: This is a non-exhaustive list, and I purposefully excluded all sorts of military interventions so as to be very conservative; the list excludes, for example, “peaceful means” used to ethnically cleanse the land of
American Indians, i.e. fraudulent treaties and other coercive means; it excludes many outright massacres of American Indians; it further excludes several instances of the U.S. landing troops in various countries to
“protect American interests”; it also excludes virtually all CIA interventions and other covert wars; lastly, I may have omitted wars due to my own ignorance of them, although I am sure that readers will give their input so we
can add to the list as needed.]
2 Minutes Of Sunlight
Why do we willingly pay for things that are
FREE?

And The POWER
Thee Almighty
Our Father who art in
heaven.
He will come again. Every day.
He drives away the darkness.
Qualifiers*Did you know that?
• 2 minutes of sunlight is more than enough to power the entire world for 1 year.
• 1 QUAD = a quadrillion BTUs of clean energy which in turn = 167,000,000 barrels of dirty crude oil.
• USA uses 94.2 QUADS annually with 46,700 more quads available each year.
• All this energy is free for the taking.
Myths
• I don’t understand it; it’s Magic.• Its too cold and cloudy where I live. Germany
is 85 percent.• I don’t want it on my roof. It’s ugly

Myths
• Technology is not ready.
Myths
• It fails easily – 25 year warranty. Panels will last over 100 years, maybe 200-we really don’t know.
• It doesn’t pencil out. Whose pencil are you using?– Edisons?– The oil company?
• I can’t afford it. (Hero Program)

How It Works Now
• How we consume energy today:
Energy Duck
Electric Generation
THIS?
OR THIS?
OR THIS?
• Today’s Model Farmed Solar Energy and Fossil Fuel Fired Plants and Nuclear Power requiring huge weak infrastructure and wasteful consumption.
• Traffic lights, street lights, night lights = light pollution.
• Creates Energy Dependence and Insecurity for the Country, Communities, and Individuals at the same time.
What You Can Do
• Create energy descent plan that should include:
• Install Solar On Your Home• Do it on your roof in broad daylight in front of your
neighbors.
• Energy Independence.

What You Can Do
• Stop Burning natural gas, propane, wood, or coal and switch to Electric Systems.
• Be a solar, not a burner.
Why Solar Panels?
• Solar panels are merely collectors.• The energy from the sun (Photon’s) is free.• It is right outside your door each day. All day long.• Definition of Mitigation:
• The act of mitigating, or lessening the force or intensity of something unpleasant, as wrath, pain, grief, or extreme circumstances.
• No mitigation. (Cap & Trade – lesser of two evils)• No moving parts.• They don’t wear out.• Very low maintenance.• 30% Rebate (approximately $4,500 back on a $15,000 system)

• Today’s Model Should Be Distributed Energy• The Future Should Include Rewriting Our
Building Codes With Low Tech sustainable models:– Passive Solar – Geothermal– Distributed Solar– Overstoring Roof Tops
• Water Harvesting

Where are we going?Future
• Plug Electric Cars -> Solar Cars
• Plug Solar Cars As Battery Backup To Your Home
Where are we going?Future
• Shinkansen Bullet Train Hyperloop
True conservation – use less of everything instead of more or everything. Sustainability is meeting our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
