The Oil Companies' Monopoly on the Sun 1980 SYNOPSIS: In the early seventies, it was said that we wouldn't have solar power until the oil companies got a monopoly on the sun. Now it appears that this is happening. Within the last five years, a powerful elite of multinational oil companies, aerospace firms, utilities, and other large corporations has been quietly buying into the solar industry. The group's aim appears to be to squeeze out smaller competitors and control development so that alternative energy sources will never threaten its massive investments in fossil fuels and nuclear power.

Energy is generated by solar power, water power, or windmills, whichever would be most appropriate for our area. Electricity is available, yet our lifestyle is not focused around it, and there are no big power lines, which are now known to have negative effects on life. For example, minimum electricity and/or natural gas is needed for some refrigeration, lighting, cooking, or listening to music, while more affluent functions, such as television, microwaves, or other high-tech services, are avoided. This also reduces local radioactivity. Our connection to the earth is essential.

Photosynthesis is a natural form of solar power. Green plants utilize the fleeting energy of a ray of sunlight to create the storable food energy of sugar and starches—at the same time freeing the element oxygen for us to breathe. It is a wondrous process. The key to it is a substance found only in plants: chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is that restful-looking substance that makes the grass on the ground and the leaves on the trees green. It's found in dozens of foods you probably eat every week—romaine lettuce, spinach, broccoli, kale: all the green leafy vegetables.

Electric cars, magnetically levitated transport vehicles, and microwave-beam satellites for transmitting solar power to earth would each add strong new sources of electromagnetic contamination. A proposed electromagnetic catapult that could shoot satellites into space from mile-long rails built up the side of a mountain would require the combined output of the country's thousand generating stations for the few seconds of each launch. A few years ago most investigators believed that each wavelength interacted mainly with objects comparable to it in size.
