The Second Energy Renaissance

The negative energy renaissance was good, but the positive one will be even better.

In the era of the Negative, we toiled and mined, Extracting Earth’s treasures, heedless, unrefined, Our energy, once bound to resources deep, Left scars on our world, secrets we’d keep.

But the winds of change whispered softly one day, A Positive Energy Renaissance on its way, Solar rays bathed us in their radiant grace, A future where Earth’s beauty we’d embrace.

From coal and from oil, we sought to break free, Harnessing sunlight, a boundless decree, Domestic and communal, panels arrayed, A revolution in energy, choices remade.

The Negative, we leave in history’s domain, Embracing a future, less sorrow, less pain, In the Positive, our journey takes flight, With renewable hope, we steer toward the light.

With every photon and hydrogen’s grace, We move toward a world in an eco-friendly space, From Negative to Positive, we chart a new course, A sustainable future, a brighter resource.

In this dual renaissance, we redefine, Our energy story, our planet’s design, With care for our Earth, our mission is clear, To cherish its beauty, forever hold dear.

ChatGPT v3.5, September 2023

The poem above was prompted from ChatGPT by first asking it to go through an analysis of how to mathematically model the energy / profit renaissance of the seventies / eighties, as a kind of torque converter (TC), with availability of energy at input, and profit, or yield at the output. The TC worked most efficiently at the point of least resistance. When availability of energy was highest, profitability, the ouput of the TC was highest with minmal losses in the TC.

But now as we are seeing, profitability is becoming something more and more difficult, it is because of more and more losses in the TC. Obviously it has to give way soon, so we have to change tack, from trying to extract from ever scarcifying energy sources, to just accepting as donation, the energy donated to us from the sun. Extracted energy is mathematically negative, extracting from Earth, whereas the energy from the sun is positive, added to Earth.

Switching to this, the only way we can, by starting to issue a solar indexed UBI, given for free to represent the energy received for free frome the sun (The sun never asked anything in return for it), is switching to doing the reverse of what we used to do, with all of the Effects correspondingly the opposite of what they used to be.

We heated the planet by our use of mathematically negative energy. The energy lost in the clutch now means the more we try to make profit, the more we actually accelerate the heating. It has to change, nature insists.

We will be cooling the planet in the second energy renaissance. The planet, and nature will reward us hugely for that, and we need all hands to the pump, doing whatever you personally do to create with energy (We do actually all create, on positive energy use, instead of all destroying on negative energy use)

Anyone wishing to see the actual working of ChatGPT doing the maths of the clutch, and even plotting the results, before it did the poem above can buy my latest e-book. I will update this story with a link (In the next day or three), as soon as I get the book release page when it comes out of review.

It’s much more than a steal compared with the first book. This one has also details of the money you are owed already from stimulus, and its a fraction of the price of the first book.

So go get it!

Help yourself, your kids and family, and all of us to have this future.
