The one thing I am most compelled to do right now is get involved in a much bigger way to help us all do a better job of taking care of Our Environment. I know that I have the ability to make significant contributions to the efforts of Global Development of Safe, Renewable, and Clean Energy Sources. I believe that by focusing on these goals, and making sure we don't continue to repeat past mistakes, that we can quickly, and permanently turn around our present Environmental, and Economic Situation, and regain our respect as a World Leader in the Global Community that needs to be built in order for us all to survive and prosper.

Welcome :
This Is the Surf Dog's Environmental Initiatives Blog's First Post. Let me begin by explaining what I'm trying to do with the Surf Dog's Environmental Initiatives.
I've been environmentally conscious, pretty much all my adult life, but in the last 25 years, or so, years, especially after taking up Whitewater kayaking, I have been on a path of becoming much more environmentally aware.
About 15 years ago (somewhere in the middle of the Reagan era) I took a college course titled "Energy and the Environment".
This course began by reviewing President Jimmy Carter's environmental studies, and the initiatives he enacted during his presidency. The course, then went into great detail about the various sources of energy, how they work, where we get them in the impact they have on the environment. This part of the course was very detailed and seemed more like studying physics and geology than the environment.
Now, only two decades later, we are really beginning to see how continuing to cling to these choices is now having a more negative impact on our environment, our economy, our lives, and will continue to do so until it gets to a point where it's too late to do anything about the negative effects.
I realize how deeply ingrained in our cultures, and in our lives the use of oil, coal, and nuclear energy have become. I also realize that we really have to stop using them. Oil and coal have greatly contributed to the negative impact our carbon footprint is having on the environment, and nuclear energy is just too dangerous.
As we learn more about the world around us and how are impacting it we also must learn more about how to care for our home (The Earth). Unless we do more to reverse our dependence on oil coal and nuclear energy, it seems clear to me, that will find ourselves in a situation that we just can't get out of.
I also have come to realize that no one person, company, city, state, country can make the necessary changes by themselves. It's going to take the combined effort of all people companies cities states and countries to effect the changes that we need to make in the time that we need to make them.
Being humans, we all have our own view of the world around us, and we don't all agree on what the issues are, and what needs to be done about them. Some of us believe there is no problem at all; some of us believe there are very serious issues, and then there’s just about every opinion in between.
As for me, I am one of the people who believe that we all need to get together and make changes in the choices we make to supply our energy needs for the future. I also believe that a great many more people need to get on board and help figure out ways we can all change our minds and our behaviors, if were expecting to be able to inhabit this planet for the for Siebel future and beyond.
So what I've decided to do is become way more involved than I have been in the past. What I hope to accomplish is to use my technical skills, my ability to organize, and an abundance of, my renewable and sustainable energy to help organize various efforts aimed at research and development of renewable and sustainable energy sources and the technology that uses them to help accelerate the shift away from oil burning, coal burning and nuclear power options.
I hope to help organize others with likeminded understandings, and objectives, so that we can collectively develop profitability models that will make investing in, and supporting these initiatives attractive to many more people. I will seek funding for various initiatives that hold the greatest promise and to develop them to the point of becoming mainstream enterprises.
I have drawn up an outline of my initiatives and have begun the process of putting together the technological infrastructure that will be needed to reach out to the masses, and to manage all the communications and data necessary to track the various collaborative efforts.
This blog is an initial step in reaching out, and will be one of many methods used to help get as many People, Organizations, Municipalities, States, and even Governments involved in the overall effort to accelerate our shift from energy sources that are harming our planet, our economies, and us, to energy sources that are renewable, sustainable and non-polluting.
In the very near future I'll be posting many more details, and information that will enable interested parties to respond, get involved, make a difference. For now, anyone interested in becoming involved can subscribe to this blog and as soon as the rest of the structure is in place, I will be switching to much more dynamic, and flexible collaborative technology.
