No Blood for Oil - No War for Energy
During the G8 summit in Scotland in July, the Dissent! Network is building a huge ‘convergence'
space. It will house, feed and enable thousands of people to meet and conspire in challenging the G8
leaders and the war, environmental destruction, world poverty and climate change that they stand
for.The Decentralised Energy Committee (DEC) intends to
build an exploitation free energy system for the Gleneagles rural
convergence space. We intend to use solar and wind electricity
generating systems as our primary energy sources, providing power for
the basic energy loads on site such as: lighting, amplification,
battery recharging and the Independent Media Centre. Our secondary
power system will use standard generators burning Biodiesel fuel.
Heating water is not a part of the site energy budget but we are hoping
to build some of our very own solar water showers.
Autonomous Energy Centre
The rural convergence space will house the Autonomous Energy Centre,
which will open it's doors for workshops on renewable energy: solar
electric, wind and hydro systems will be covered
with hands-on demonstrations and actual systems. We hope to have a
tinker's shop going on-site so any spare tools are welcome. We need
10-kilowatts of Autonomous Energy and We
Need Your Help ! We estimate that the rural convergence requires 10
kilowatts generating capacity, [10 kilowatts = 10 000 watts].
The wish list;
-
Solar panels & Wind generators (Any size of panel/generator will do, even if they're broken, maybe we can fix them.)
- Sponsor a panel or small wind generator (see details at the bottom)
-
Black plastic containers (preferably hard plastic) and/or black hoses
-
Any spare tools for the on-site workshop
-
Donations to the Autonomous Energy Centre are more than welcome; The
