The United States is being strangled by the clutches of an Energy Crisis.
Non-renewable power is every day pouring unimaginable tons of the Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide into the environment.
Our dependence on imported oil LONG AGO reached dangerous levels.
It has to end somewhere, so we decided to start on a solution NOW.
In his "State of The Union" speech on February 13, 2006 President Bush announced,
"Since 2001, we have spent nearly $10 billion to develop cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable alternative energy sources -- and we are on the threshold of incredible advances. ... Breakthroughs on this and other new technologies will help us reach another great goal: to replace more than 75 percent of our oil imports from the Middle East by 2025. ...By applying the talent and technology of America, this country can dramatically improve our environment, move beyond a petroleum-based economy, and make our dependence on Middle Eastern oil a thing of the past. ... We must continue to lead the world in human talent and creativity. Our greatest advantage in the world has always been our educated, hardworking, ambitious people -- and we're going to keep that edge." (Source)
Here at Degupower.com we are doing our part to help achieve that independence. We are trying hard to be "... America's most creative minds as they explore promising areas such as ... alternative energy sources." (GWB2)
For America to achieve energy independence, we need to pounce. When we see a potential source of energy, we need to make use of it.
You may be saying to yourself, "THIS GUY IS CRAZY! THERE'S NO USEFUL ENERGY TO BE HAD FROM A DEGU RUNNING IN HIS WHEEL!"
NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE!
That oil we are buying from offshore was created by combining billions of billions of microorganisms under extreme pressure for millions of years.
We don't like pressure all that well, and don't have millions of years, but it doesn't take much math to know that a Degu is capable of supplying some useful energy.
SERIOUSLY, as our President said, "We need to encourage children to take more math and science." This site is chock full of Math and Science. Hopefully it inspires children to enjoy Math and Science.
