In a globalized world, we need an energy cocktail

Power makes the world go ‘round. Banking systems. Information technology. Multimedia. These days, everything depends on electricity. But what if you live ‘off-the-grid’? Worse yet —what happens when energy becomes scarcer than gold?

Global demand for energy is expect to grow by at least 35% by the year 2030. While policy makers scramble to come up with answers, rising populations and longer life expectancies drive that number higher. How can this outrageous demand for electricity be met?

Developed countries represent two-thirds of the world’s crude oil demand, and the United States, Europe and Japan have already exceeded their demand ceilings. Today, China consumes more energy than the United States – something which was once thought impossible. Even with increased energy efficiency, rising incomes and improved standards of living means a greater demand for energy.

Environmental concerns continue to dictate the energy market. The question of global warming and carbon has never been more pressing now that atmospheric levels have surpassed 400 million parts per unit. Over 80% of the world’s fuel consumption is carbon based —oil, coal, and natural gas.

The transition to alternative, renewable sources of energy is already in motion. Wind and solar are improving, but still have major drawbacks.

The answer to this energy crisis requires a unique cocktail of solutions. Responsible consumption. Innovative thinking. And one large shot of NRGLab.

Our vision of a globalized energy grid is complex, and needs time to be realized by a majority of people who are simply too accustomed to using fossil fuels. Real progress means curbing consumption and investment habits. New techniques, facilities, buildings, and vehicles are like band-aids over the real problem of energy dependency.



The real solution is responsible energy independence. With a generator like the SH-Box, which is carbon-free and cost-effective, you don’t have to rely on dirty, expensive fossil fuels. In fact, you could be paying as little as $0.03 per kW, or a fraction of your current energy costs.
