Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Gods call to intercede for the nations came simply in the words of Psalms 2:8: Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. Actually, praying for each nation can be a daunting task. Breaking down nations into cities, towns, villages, and inhabitants can be even more overwhelming. God, in His mercy, has shown a way to move His hand in prayer so He will deploy angelic assistance in the form of spiritual watchers over each nation. They will amplify the intercessors efforts, strengthen the body of Christ, and go anywhere God sends them, with none of the limitations to which humans are subjected.

Wind Energy Basics
Author: Paul Gipe
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1603582274
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The availability of clean, renewable power is without question going to be the defining challenge and goal of the 21st century, and wind will lead the way. Internationally acclaimed wind energy expert Paul Gipe is as soberly critical of past energy mistakes as he is convincingly optimistic about the future. The overwhelming challenge of transforming our world from one of fossil carbon to one of clean power seems daunting at best—and paralyzingly impractical at worst. Wind Energy Basics offers a solution. Wind power can realistically not only replace the lion’s share of oil-, coal-, and naturalgas– fired electrical plants in the U.S., but also can add enough extra power capacity to allow for most of the cars in the nation to run on electricity. Gipe explains why such a startlingly straightforward solution is eminently doable and can be accomplished much sooner than previously thought—and will have the capacity to resuscitate small and regional economies. Wind Energy Basics offers a how-to for home-based wind applications, with advice on which wind turbines to choose and which to avoid. He guides wind-energy installers through considerations such as renewable investment strategies and gives cautionary tales of wind applications gone wrong. And for the activist, he suggests methods of prodding federal, state, and provincial governments to promote energy independence.
