Humanity faces many challenges, and if you're here, you likely already grasp their magnitude. Few people seize their chance to make a difference, and even fewer actively seek such opportunity. If you are reading this, you have the opportunity right now to make the world a better place

So what now? At DecEnergy, we believe that empowering people is the only way to enact positive and lasting change. No single solution is perfect, nor permanent, only an individual's pursuit towards the highest good makes a lasting difference.

There are two primary crises that we face, degenerative agriculture, and consumable energy. In this pursuit with DecEnergy, we will use the solution of one, to fund the renewal of the other, creating the ultimate ecological win-win.

What do we mean? A vast majority of homeowners still power their homes with fossil fuels. There are many reasons for this, which we will address later, but right now the economics of powering your home with solar panels finally makes sense. For the first time in history, it is cheaper to power your home with solar energy, than with fossil fuels. So how does this address the agriculture problem? Any leftover profit that is generated from transitioning your home to solar energy will go to funding other regenerative projects. So really, it’s actually a win-win-win-win. Cheaper electricity for you, lower emissions on the environment, funding regenerative agricultural projects to sequester even more of those emissions, and then producing organic nutrient dense foods as a byproduct.

Sounds too good to be true, right?

Actually, you’re just in a really abusive situation to begin with. Even if you have the “right-to-choose” providers, it's just a different label for the same product, provided by your local energy monopoly. Monopolies that pillage the planet of its resources, to literally burn it, causing countless externalities, wasting 60% of the energy in conversion to electricity (not even counting transmission losses), to then lock you into a contract so you can’t switch providers, and if the grid goes down, everyone goes down (as we’ve see every year with “brown-outs”, “black-outs”, “grid-failures” etc. and on and on and on)

What happens when you switch from that relationship, to using other people’s capital, to buy your own power-plant, which captures free energy from the sun, decentralizing the grid away from monopolistic power plants, and on top of all that the government is going to pay for up to 40% of it. That’s why it sounds too good to be true.

We have become energy gluttons, especially in the United States to the point that many of us, (myself included) would even sit in a running car just to charge our phone.

Not everyone has the time, energy, space, or knowledge to grow their own garden.

Not everyone wants to reuse diapers to save on waste.

Not everyone can unplug their lives and go back to day-planners and rolodexes.

But everyone uses electricity, and many of us have the ability to power our lives with solar, for less than the cost of our current utility bill.

Fossil fuel electricity solved many issues facing humanity, but it is also causing many externalities. Solar energy is a way for us to meet our electricity needs, while also eliminating a vast majority of the externalities caused by fossil fuels. Maybe hydrogen power will come around in a few decades, or fusion reactors, or maybe governments will take more tax money to invest into nuclear plants, but all of that is outside of your control.

We need solutions that empower individuals. We need to decentralize the decision making processes away from corrupt, centralized organizations, so that individuals can freely choose what we know is best for ourselves, our families, and those we care about.

This is a big step in the right direction.
