Comments on: Is the Answer to the Energy Crisis Blowing in The Wind? http://www.pump-zone.com/blog/2008/07/william-livoti-blog/is-the-answer-to-the-energy-crisis-blowing-in-the-wind/ The Pump Zone Blog Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:34:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Mike Pemberton http://www.pump-zone.com/blog/2008/07/william-livoti-blog/is-the-answer-to-the-energy-crisis-blowing-in-the-wind/#comment-21 Mike Pemberton Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:27:37 +0000 http://www.pump-zone.com/blog/?p=29#comment-21 Bill, there has certainly been a lot of hot air, enough to turn a few wind mills, blowing in the nation wind these days. A major wind source has been our congress and the national media. All these years of debate and posturing and we still lack a clear energy policy. So, the answer may very well still be...blowing in the wind. I agree that we should explore all options and find the right mix of traditional and alternate energy sources to sustain our economy. Certainly, efficient use of natural resources has to be at the core of our long-term policy. As you pointed out, just drilling for more oil and natural gas is not the complete answer. It may well only serve as a stop gap measure until we can more fully develop new sources that are sustainable and renewable. So, the wind mill is a good metaphor for the "turning point" that we face today. Certainly, optimizing pump systems will play an important role in improving efficient use of our natural resources. We can't dely the journey. So. keep up the good work and thanks for your ongoing commentary.
