The BP Gulf Oil Spill and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in Alaska are huge events and the destruction they caused makes many of us upset. Those stories made front page news, but what has happened more than half way around the world as a result? Have we learned anything? There are daily oil spills in Nigeria and those stories are rarely in front of our eyes as they should be. There is no place in the world that has experience as much destruction as Nigeria.
Sungate Energy Solutions is concerned about all people on this planet. It is hard to live with, if you’re a Nigerian citizen, knowing that a burst oil pipe owned by Royal Dutch Shell took two months to be shut down. This is one of many similar tragedies that occur often. This one began in Nigeria’s mangroves and ended with a body of water once alive with shrimp and crab now brown with thick oil and dead. Wild life, fish, seafood, plants, birds and people are dying from travesties like this one. Nigeria has the shortest human lifespan of all countries on earth.
If the world cared, environmentalists believe that with huge restoration, the Niger Delta could be brought back to life. Some believe that aging pipes are the reason for this debacle and some believe that it’s caused by terrorists or thieves. Things must change no matter what the reason.
Sungate Energy Solutions has a reasonable answer to this dramatic challenge. The answer is for renewable energy to become the only necessary power source reducing these environmental and human catastrophes. It really isn’t about money because only a very few benefit from the riches that oil produces. It’s about the desire of the majority of the people on this planet to learn about choices. There are other ways to live without destroying the earth and the people who live here. Our selections for energy can come from solar energy, geothermal energy to wind power.
Sungate Energy Solutions has practical information and stories of success regarding how renewable energy can save the planet and help people live a financially sound life as well.
