Alternative Energies

Predictions about alternative fuels and alternative energies and the growth of these items into the future.

Election results and impact on future events

When masses of people decide they want something, and they’re willing to do something to get it, things happen.  The future as I saw it changed.  One definitely could say that I got it wrong, and I won’t argue with anyone about it.  It was amazing to watch a certain (gargantuan) group of people tell the country and the world, “We’re sick and tired of this, and we’re not going to take it anymore.”

In essence, en masse, the consciousness of the majority of voters said, “We’re in the drivers seat, now.”  It really is true, ‘Control is not something we are given, it is something we take.”

When this much energy and determination is put into any venture, it changes the path that once was being taken.  Three years ago,  2005, I clearly saw the next 6 presidents being white men, with Joe Biden, having the strongest possibility for being the next president (in 2008).

I also saw Hillary Clinton not getting the Democratic nomination.  At that time and up to the beginning of the primaries, I still saw Barack Obama being considered too inexperienced by the majority of voters.   At that time, too, Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

What I see currently is that had Joe Biden stayed in the race, it would have been a 3 way battle and it would have caused the Democratic Party to become more divisive.  The convention would not have had as strong a unifying effort come out of it.

A few other things I saw psychically during the time.  President Obama’s pick of Joe Biden won him votes.  John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin lost him votes.  Regardless of what people feel and think about the candidates, this is what I saw psychically.  Joe Biden had a lot of energy behind him and added it to Obama’s candidacy.  Sarah Palin didn’t contribute much energy at all to John McCain’s ticket.  She contributed much but not psychic energy.

Enough looking back.  Everybody’s opinions who are different than stated here,  are just as valid as what I contribute.

As of today, looking forward…

The enthusiasm for Obama’s election will boost the country for about 4 months and then the natural forces that contribute to the economy and stockmarkets will reimpose themselves by May.  It will be a rocky road from May 2009 to October 2009.  In general, 2009 will not be the year the economy returns to normal, but by the Autumn of 2009, the economy will slowly be getting better.  2010 will see this progress continue.

This election has changed many of the things I’ve seen from the readings I’ve done in the past years.

1.  I’m now seeing a woman potentially becoming president as early as the mid 2020’s.  It won’t be Hillary Clinton.

2. If Obama wins in 2012, there could be a woman vice-president in 2016.

3. I still see another black man being president in the 2040’s.

4. While Toyota had a headstart with their Prius, and I previously had seen it take 6 years for the US automakers to catch up on market share and hence stock strength, I now see the time frame being reduced to 4 years for the US automakers to catch up to Toyota with regards to stock strength.

5. I’m seeing no change to the timeline for the new energy source which I see coming forth around 2050.  This whitish-blue energy source could be fusion but I don’t have enough context to be able to identify it.  The person who will develop a new way of looking at fusion is only now, (2009) in high school.  I see the timeline of 2014-16 still being on track for his dissertation process.  I see the timeline for further research being on track and beginning around 2021-2022. (only 12 years away.)

6.  From 2010 to 2015 will be the better half of the next decade.   From 2015 to 2020 currently appears to be a time of difficulty economically again.

7.  The Health care crisis in the U.S. will not get better during President Obama’s 1st 4 years.  There will be a few minor helping changes that are celebrated as if they were major changes, but these changes will help only a few.  The Insurance companies and Pharmaceutical companies are determining health care policy and this will change very little in the next decade.

8. We will see a slowly increasing number of resources for alternative energies.   The wind and solar technologies will continue to become prevalent.  These industries will grow all through the next decade and will be relied upon more and more.  By 2020, around 20-25% of electricity will be from solar and wind energies.

9. Electric cars are the future, but it will take a many decades.  In 40 years, the majority of cars on the road will be electric.  I’m still seeing flying cars come along, and starting to be more than just a news story in the late 2020’s.  By 2035, they will be “the new gadget on the block”.  They begin to be used in the 2030’s but won’t become the norm until the 2060’s.

10.  If you’d like me to cover a subject, send me a request.

Petroleum use in the future

Even with the coming of flying cars, the roadways will still be used, but much less often.  In the same way that old cars are still being used today (2008), old cars will still be an option for use. 

Likewise, freight carriers – tractor trailers, big-rigs, and very large vehicles will still use the roads on into the next century.   Petroleum will still be the fuel of choice up until the midpoint of this century.  It will gradually be used less as less after the 2050 coming forth of the new energy.

Petroleum will still be used in making so many millions of products but the new energy of 2050 will eventually replace it’s use in propelling vehicles.

Global Warming and related topics

The Global Warming phenomenon will continue to increase steadily until the process of a changeover to reliance upon this new energy source beginning around 2050. As this new energy source enters into our world and is integrated into our societies, the Global Warming phenomenon will slow it’s increase, and then start diminishing to the point that the temperatures will cool, and there will be what could easily be considered a normalizing of temperatures. Those global “symptoms” of the warming process will slowly reverse and it will take from 50-70 years for the different symptoms to return to what could be considered normal, (2120-2150) (Added 11/2/05)

The drive to obtain alternative energy sources has been only a gradual pursuit in our lifetime. The dependence on oil has been “held onto” by the general populace. Here in the U.S., there will be a growing determination in a subsection of the population to look for and find alternative energy sources. This group’s efforts will become noticed as a growing economic market in the next decade (2010-2020) . This growing group will help stimulate the demand for alternative energy sources and help create a market which manufacturers will respond to. Around 2015 is when we will see a “stepped-up” level of availability of alternatives energy sources as compared to today’s availability. Although not on a mass scale, but rather on an individual fringe scale, we’ll see the beginnings with respect to alternative energy sources for the home (2013-2014), and a few workplaces (2012-2013). Some pursue this now, but we’ll see the demand step-up a level and both demand and supply will follow this stepped-up level on into the next decades. Hybrid cars will take their place in U.S. society and by 2012, will be about 10% of all the new cars sold. By 2015-2018, hybrid cars will be about 15-20% of all the cars on the road. A smaller “real” hybrid truck will emerge (testing the market demand) by 2008-2009. (Added 11/16/05)

Some Professional Sports Arenas will switch over to alternative energy sources, in the mid 2030‘s from the traditional supplied electricity to self-generated or smaller community/area generated sources taking themselves off the grid out of economic necessity. (Added 11/16/2005)
