Photovoltaic = inkt die energie opwekt

@Tony, how cool is that, powercells in the sea.

It's strange, but I think that there are many alternatives around, but nobody to take them seriously. In the dutch news, there was a program about how the oil industry and oil producing countries are keeping a grip on us all. Nearly 20% of all oil is used for producing food.

Another issue they covered was, the green electricity fraud in the Netherlands. We can get green electricity in the Netherlands, but we hardly produce any. What Dutch utillity companies do is buy green certificates from Sweden. And then they say, they offer green electricity. But it's (nearly) all a scandalous sales pitch.

I hope someone, some country will start a new, true green alternative energy program. So I applaud Australia and New York!

How about powercells in the sea? I will write a post about that this week. Australia and the city of New York are using that for the future to power up the cities.

@Tony, it's actually going backwards in time. Before mainstream powerhouses, people used to create their own energy. Some (farmers) had windmills or used other forms to create electicity. We will be creating our own energy the way we used to in the old days.

It will only be done on a larger scale, if, and only if, this printable photovoltaic Inks will become available to us all. Either for personal use, by printing the cells for specific jobs or be implemented into and onto our houses and fabrics.

This technology is now available for more then four years. Can't wait to print my own iPhone charger or be able to put cells all over my ouse. How cool would that be.

But, I think the future of energy lies within north Africa, the Sahara. It's a very large area, waiting to be filled with solar powerhouses, creating enough energy for both Africa and Europe. That's were I would put my money, if I had any.

Peer to peer powerhouse are (in my opinion) the future of energy. Energy is following the same development as the PC. First many on one PC (mainframe), then the personal PC and now the trend towards many pc's and for many people.

Great stuff, think about all the ugly big buildings around us, that can finally be used to collect energy. Hook them up to the power-grid and we have a huge collector of energy. It's kind of like a peer-to-peer powerhouse.
