Guys Uses Trash To Make a DIY Solar Panel System

Has an ordinary man solved the energy crisis by using trash to create a DIY solar system?

An ordinary citizen, albeit brilliant, has solved the energy crisis and our dependency on oil. He has created a 6 kwh solar system one can make at home for under $5,500. If a 6 kwh system was build with PV panels, it would cost about $80,000 to install.

What really gets my goat is that the powers that be in the United States want us all to think that after 15 years, and hundreds of millions of dollars in “government grants” to big oil companies to develop alternative energy projects, they could not come up with a system with this much yield for so cheap. Whatever! Chevron, Exxon, and the U.S. Department of Energy are not interested in these kinds of DIY homemade solar systems because they can’t make money off it. Big oil wants an alternative solution that keeps you as a paying customer while the U.S. government wants to be able to tax the solution. If everyone could pull as much energy as they needed completely from the air, the government could not get tax revenues with such a system, unless they taxed sunlight. Both big oil and the U.S. government only want an alternative energy solution that enriches them.

Big oil and their lobbyists that buy Congressmen will not let a DIY homemade solution reach mainstream America. They will not and can not allow you to create your own electricity completely free.

The truth gets much darker than this. The oil trade is killing average people in Nigeria, Burma, and other countries. Nigeria and Burma are just two countries in which big oil has brought great harm and death to average people. Big oil is telling the Nigerian government where they want their luxury houses to be built. The government is sending in bulldozers to remove entire neighborhoods of poor people. They are even destroying churches. You can find videos of what is happening in Nigeria courtesy of YouTube.

Nigeria is only a portion of the cruelty to people in the name of profits for big oil. The U.N. Security Council has condemned the Burmese military junta for its treatment of its people. All companies have left the region except for Chevron. While the pipe line was being built, supervised by oil executives, the Burmese military junta forced villagers along the pipeline into slavery. Here are a Burmese citizens own words, “When there was no pipeline, there were no problems with soldiers. No soldiers came to this area. The soldiers came when we were harvesting rice. After the pipeline reached our village, we were told we had to work for the white people at gun point. We were forced by the soldiers into slavery. If we said we had to plant rice and would not do work for the white people, they said they would kill us and all our children. Because of the white people, our home was destroyed and the men had to run into the jungle or be killed. Many were killed. My husband escaped into the jungle. I waited for him to come back. While I was waiting, a soldier walked up to me and hit me with his rifle. I hit my head on a stone when I fell and lost consciousness. When I awoke, my baby had been burned alive in a fire. She did not cry. Her body was burned and all black.”

So is this average American that built this DIY homemade solar system really smarter than scientists at big oil companies and even the U.S. Department of Energy? I do not think so. I think they have known about this technology for years but are blocking it from hitting mainstream America because they can not tax it or profit from it. Also, an investigation should be launched into why the U.S. Department of Energy has been giving big oil millions of dollars in the name of “alternative energy research” and they have come up with nothing. During the Bush Administration and Republican control, the U.S. Department of Energy was staffed with big oil executives and their lobbyists. Is it any wonder that they have come up with nothing after all these years? I think this is a valid argument after we have proof that a man without any kind of research budget whatsoever pulled parts out of a trash can and came up with a better, cheaper solution than they have.

Here is the video. Prepared to be blown away.
