The solution to a 100 year old problem
Ok, so electric cars are
great everyone says but how do we go long distance?
That is a question that has been asked for 100 years.
Henry Ford's wife drove an electric car and Thomas
Edison drove an electric car and they loved them.
They didn't have a polluting trail of smoke behind them
and more importantly they were quiet so they didn't
scare off the major traffic at the time which were
horses.
So what happened? Why
didn't it take on like it could have. The problem
was they couldn't go long distance because there was no
charging infrastructure in place. It was easier
and cheaper to go with gasoline. Well we have gone
the distance and look where we have arrived. A 100
years later we have a world so polluted not even the
honeybees can survive. If we don't turn this
around in the next 20 years we will have a planet that
can't even produce fruits and vegetables. Who do
you think is going to pollinate them when all the bees
are dead?
Global Warming? The
planet has been heating up and cooling off for millions
of years before humans showed up. Our big problem
is the pollution we are creating and plastic is just
another from of the oil problem that ends up in the food
chain on the bottom of the ocean and in our ground.
If we clean up the planet we are home free. If the
pollution caused any global warming that too will be
solved with cleaning up the planet.
Thank God we are running out of oil and the price is
going up. Now we have to do something about it.
If you need more information for some motivation that we
have to do something then listen to what a billionaire
American oil man,
T.
Boone Pickens, has
to say. Natural gas is a good short term solutions
as we move on to cleaner alternatives like wind, solar,
geothermal, and others.
The charging stations you
see above at
Coulomb
Technologies are the solution to the 100 year
old problem. These charging stations will be
placed everywhere you can possibly think of and you can
kiss the gas stations good by. Who would want to
wait at even a power charging station for 10 minutes
when you could shop, sleep, eat, or see a movie while
your electric car was charging up. That is the
road we are turning on to. We all sit around and wonder
and say, "well what can I do to help us out of all
this?" The sooner we tell business owners we want
charging stations at their location the sooner we will
get there. That's what we all can do to help.
I hear people all day long say solar is just too
expensive and it will take 10 to 15 years to get a
return on my investment just to reduce an electric bill
of $100 a month. Yes, that is true but here is the
rest of the story. Once you start charging your
electric car at home and stop going to the gas station
you will get your return on investment within 3 to 6
years including the price of the eclectic car.
From that point on the money is going back into your
pocket forever! I spend about $20,000 a year on
utilities of which 90% is gasoline. In four years
that's $80,000. What kind of alternative energy
solutions will that buy? A good chunk of it!
Why do you want to stay
on the grid with your solar and wind? So you can
buy low and sell high. That's how profits have and
always will be made. Sure you will want the option
to be off the grid incase the grid goes down so you will
have your Personal Power when you need it. When
the grid is up, which is most of the time, you want to
sell the extra electricity you generate back to them
during the day when rates are high, and buy the electric
back to charge your car at night when rates are low so
you make a profit and charge your car at the same time.
This concept works
perfectly with Coulomb Technologies charging systems for
businesses. Most homes will not need them because
they will plug directly into their own system but the
concept of buying low and selling high will still work
with with your utility company.
That is another thing we can do as individuals.
Tell our utility companies we want more than a break
even dollar amount when our meters spin backwards above
and beyond our usage. We want cash back like a
number of states already mandate from their utility
companies. All states should be doing this.
We will become the power generators, both home and
business, and this will reduce the need for more nuclear
and coal burring power plants. They will purchase
from us, mark it up and resell it when an where it's
needed.
Take a look at some of
the energy saving
new cars coming up.

Where to charge your
EV (Electric Vehicle) and the types of connectors used
There are a number of
business locations where you can charge your electric
vehicle as seen at our links on the left side of this
page under "The Parking Spaces". The type of
connectors are a little confusing so we have some
explanations below.
Inductive Connector:
This connector is made by Toyota and more
information can be seen at the Clean Fuel Connection web
site on our left side links. It is a flat disk on
the end of a cable which slips into the front of an
electric vehicle. These are being provide as a
free charge station by companies like Costco.
Business owners providing these would have to upgrade
them with a 110v standard receptacle for hybrid cars at
their own expense.
Conductive Connector:
This connector is a knuckle looking connector
which comes on the newer cars like the Tesla Roadster.
You can find charging locations for these on the maps at
the left side of this page as well.
110v Connector: This
is your standard 110v three prong plug and receptacle
that you find in your home and is being used on most
hybrid cars currently being manufactured and sold as of
2007.
The Personal Power
Project will be calling business owners that currently
do not offer a charging station to the general public
and encouraging them to be part of the alternative
energy solutions.
