Going Green.
The two little words that every modern day producer and consumer just love to boast.
But for Green House International it's more than just a slogan or a public relations stunt.
Green House International is putting together the last pieces of the 'alternative energy' puzzle, and delivering the finished product right to your doorstep.
For as long as I can remember, alternative energy has been all the buzz.
But after two decades of 'we think we've got it', I'd almost stopped listening to the trials and tribulations of Corporate America.
But Green House International seems to finally have it right - and not a moment too soon.
So how does G.
H.
I.
do it? Ethanol.
No fancy science terms or futuristic words, just Ethanol.
GHI takes simple organic waste products, extracts the sugar-based organic compounds, and converts them into ethanol fuel.
Chris Ursitti, CEO of Green House International, says the idea dawned on him in science class, "One gallon of liquid fuel has 80 TIMES more energy potential than a lithium-ion battery, the most advanced battery on the planet, of equal size - there is no way that we can solve the energy crisis that we are in without more advanced knowledge of electricity, and until then, liquid fuel has to be the solution.
" So what kind of 'simple' organic waste can be used in GHI's fuel systems? Anything from alcohol to grass clippings - or compost to candy - it can all be used to extract ethanol fuel.
The product that is created by their fuel systems is already adapted to the modern infrastructure for fuel, and can be put directly into any vehicle or gas-guzzling accessory as is! Not only is it already adapted for use; the emissions from GHI's fuel are 85% less than conventional gasoline.
How much more efficient can it get? How about this - the bi products of refining the fuel are distilled water and nutrient rich mulch - that's it, that's all.
G.
H.
I has already received a boatload of press coverage, and has gained investment and support from celebrities like Chargers Hall of Fame Running Back Chuck Muncie, Heidi & Spencer Pratt, and even Shaquille -Don't Call Me Diesel - O'Neal.
They recently partnered with the city of Las Vegas, and are already integrating their revolutionary systems with the existing infrastructure.
More notably, they recently partnered with local brewery, Karl Strauss.
The brewery plans to lease the fuel systems from G.
H.
I and refine their alcohol waste into re-usable energy, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run.
The technique that GHI uses is by no means new, but they are making it accessible and efficient.
The micro-consumer can purchase a complete, functioning system for their home, with little to no set-up.
The current cost for their micro-fueling system is $10,000 and $2.
00 per gallon for use, but GHI claims that government energy rebate programs can get you back up to half of your original investment.
Additionally, they state that the more the fuel system is integrated into society; their access to organic waste will become more efficient and affordable, bringing down the cost per gallon.
Readers, I'm putting cost aside on this one.
GHI seems to be doing everything right, not just for business, but also for the planet, and that doesn't have a price tag.
