Renewable Energy

Date: 07-31-05
Host: Art Bell
Guests: Jim Bell, Major Ed Dames

Internationally recognized expert on our planet's delicate balance of sustaining life, Jim Bell(1), talked with host Art Bell about politics, peak oil production, and what we can do to become more energy self-sufficient.
He believes the answer to energy self-sufficiency lies in cultivating renewable energy sources, such as solar power. According to Bell, the city of San Diego could replace all forms of energy it currently uses by simply installing solar photovoltaic cells on 18% of existing buildings and parking lots, as well as making a few efficiency improvements.
He also cited the example of a San Diego building that had been converted to run on renewable energy sources and has benefited from a 25% return on investment. Bell said there are several energy services companies who help fund these conversions, as they have figured out how to make the process profitable.
