We at CURRENTVOLT believe strongly that an energy solution is only sustainable when it is environmentally cohesive.  From the materials that are utilized  to produce the technology, to the way it blends in with nature. If a technology depends on government subsidies to be viable, then it is not a long term solution. 

Our main design philosophy is driven by simple questions: 

Does any part of the potential design damage the environment?

Is it possible that the design can be better configured, or restructured so that it more effectively blends in with the nature?

If a technology requires converting productive farm land into Solar farms, or building huge concrete dams that block rivers and prevent fish migration, where is the net gain for humanity?    

Trees are without a doubt the best carbon capture technology in the world today. When they perform photosynthesis, they pull carbon dioxide out of the air, bind it up in sugar, and release oxygen.  

At present, there are billions of dollars being invested in technology that pulls in air, and removes carbon from the environment.  All the while, we have the most advanced carbon removal technology available in trees. Plant Trees, and Plant more Trees!

Farmers all over the world are converting productive agricultural farm land to Solar Farms at an alarming rate, mainly because of the financial incentives that are being offered to do this.  When a solar farm is built, it takes the farm land out of use for 20 to 25 years. 

Agricultural crops do more than provide the world with food. These crops play a key role in natural Carbon emission removal. 

It is a known fact that Windmills and Parabolic Solar farms kill birds, but at present, no one really knows just how many birds are being killed, nationally or worldwide. Most operators of windmills have long known this is a serious problem, but are not eager to make details known to the public.  It is often referred to as 'Acceptable Losses'.

What happens to our environment, when the bird kill rate exceeds the ability of the bird population to replenish itself? 

Wind Farm Example: NextEra Energy subsidiary ESI Energy pleaded guilty to violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, killing 150 bald eagles. 

Solar Farm Example: Ivanpah Solar Farms kills over 6000 birds a year. When the birds enter the vast parabolic field, they are vaporized.

While dams can provide flood protection, energy supply, and water security, they also pose a significant threat to freshwater species. Dams block fish from moving along their natural pathways between feeding and spawning grounds, causing interruptions in their life cycles that limit their abilities to reproduce.

In the United States, more than 2 million dams and other barriers block fish from migrating upstream. As a result, many fish populations have declined. 

For example, Atlantic salmon used to be found in every river north of the Hudson River. 

CURRENTVOLT supports fish friendly Dam design and establishing fish migratory technology.
