The Importance of Energy

Energy plays a crucial role in our ability to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. Without access to reliable and affordable energy, it can be difficult to grow and prepare food, maintain adequate housing, and access healthcare services.

For example, access to electricity is necessary for refrigeration, which is essential for preserving food. In addition, many modern medical technologies and treatments require electricity to operate, making it difficult to provide healthcare in areas without reliable access to power.

Furthermore, energy is also a key factor in economic development and poverty reduction. Reliable and affordable energy can help to drive economic growth by enabling businesses to operate more efficiently and by attracting new industries and investment. On the other hand, high energy costs or a lack of access to energy can hinder economic development and exacerbate poverty.

Overall, access to reliable and affordable energy is essential for meeting basic needs and improving quality of life.

Clean Energy

The transition to a clean energy economy has the potential to bring about a range of economic and social benefits, including increased prosperity and affordability.

One way in which the clean energy economy can promote prosperity is by creating new jobs and businesses. The clean energy sector is a growing industry and has the potential to provide a wide range of employment opportunities, from manufacturing and installing solar panels and wind turbines to developing new technologies and managing renewable energy projects.

In terms of affordability, clean energy technologies can help to reduce energy costs for individuals and businesses. For example, installing solar panels on a home or business can significantly reduce or even eliminate energy bills, as the electricity generated by the panels can be used on-site. Additionally, the costs of many clean energy technologies, such as solar panels and electric vehicles, have been steadily declining, making them more affordable for a wider range of consumers.

Overall, the transition to a clean energy economy can bring about both prosperity and affordability by creating new job and business opportunities and reducing energy costs.

Vision

Our vision is a world powered by clean energy that promotes prosperity, affordability, justice, and democracy for all. We envision a future in which access to clean energy is no longer a privilege, but a right. We see a world in which clean energy technologies are democratically controlled and provide economic benefits to communities and individuals. We believe that the transition to a clean energy economy has the potential to create a more equitable and sustainable future for all, and we are committed to working towards this vision every day.

Mission

Our Clean Energy mission is to develop and implement solutions that increase prosperity and accessibility to clean energy. We believe that a transition to a clean energy economy has the power to bring about economic growth, create new job opportunities, and reduce energy costs for individuals and businesses. We are committed to working towards a future in which clean energy is accessible and affordable for all, and to building a more sustainable and prosperous world for generations to come.

Our Current Projects

Clean Energy Coalition – Regenerating Lansing:

Decarbonization / Electrification: By using Litecoin miners powered by clean energy sources, the Fledge reduces its carbon footprint and contributes to its decarbonization. Litecoin mining involves using computers to solve complex mathematical equations to verify and add transactions to the Litecoin blockchain. This process requires a significant amount of electricity to power the computers that perform the mining operations. By powering the Litecoin miners with clean energy sources, the Fledge can offset the electricity used by the miners and reduce its carbon emissions. In addition, the Fledge uses the profits generated from the Litecoin mining operations to invest in further clean energy technologies.
