Hawaii is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the the world. This sun-kissed island chain in the Pacific is flocked to by tourists all over the world, who wish to experience the rejuvenating effects of the island life. You would think that because Hawaii gets so much sun throughout the year that they would be one of the pioneers of solar energy — and other forms of renewable energy. That is not the case – it’s been the opposite actually.
The Hawaii State Energy Office released a 2016 report showing that Hawaii is one of the biggest oil consumers, compared to other American states, and relies heavily on petroleum for the production of electricity. The report states that the energy generation in Hawaii primarily came from oil – 67.9 percent – and coal – 14.8 percent. This is baffling, considered that less than one percent of electricity in the rest of the US comes from oil. From a financial standpoint, energy production is quite costly in Hawaii because most of the oil they use is imported and very expensive. [1]
But Hawaii’s government wants this to change. In 2015, Hawaii’s governor, David Ige, signed into law a mandate that required the state to get 100 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2045 – also known as the renewal portfolio standard or RPS. In order to meet this goal, all of the energy needed by Hawaii needs from be taken from renewable sources – and that means a drastic overhaul of the current energy infrastructure used on the island. HECO, or Hawaiian Electric Companies, has been criticized for not monopolizing on solar energy quickly enough, with homeowners waiting as much as two years before their solar panels could be connected to Hawaii’s grid. That means it is not the residents of Hawaii who are opposed to renewable energy – but the big companies that provide the island with energy. [2]
But Hawaii has been moving forward since the law was signed. By the end of 2015, roughly 23.4 percent of Hawaii’s electricity came from renewable sources: solar energy, hydropower (falling water), bioenergy or biomass (crops, animal residues, solid waste), geothermal energy, ocean water (OTEC or ocean thermal energy conversion and wave energy), and hydrogen (from renewable energy sources). These are all sources that are readily available to this tropical island, with the sun, sea, and land within arms’ reach. [1]
The road towards a 100 percent RPS by 2045 is only possible if the energy companies in Hawaii work hand in hand with the state’s government to provide affordable and accessible renewable energy to Hawaii’s people – and energy that is sustainable too. Sustainable energy that will not take years to be connected or cut off inconveniently. The energy production also has to meet the demands of the people, wherein the Hawaiians typically use more energy during the night, where renewable energy production is lower. [2]
Renewable energy seems easy to use, but harnessing its power for an entire state can be difficult without the right legislation and agreements made between the government and energy companies in Hawaii.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.
Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.
Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:

What REALLY Happens When You Bury a Shipping Container? (Hint: It's A Bit Crazy...)
Shipping containers are all the rage - but if you are thinking about buying one, you MUST watch this video first:
Do not, I repeat do NOT do what these lunatics did! Can you spot the "fatal mistake" they made?
There's a general belief that if you bury a shipping container you can create an awesome root cellar / storm shelter / survival bunker.
But is a shipping container strong enough to handle the pressure?

I Can't Help Showing This Off:
If you haven't heard of Claude Davis yet do yourself a huge favor and watch this video.
One of the smartest guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting, Claude set-up a unique prepping system that changed his life forever.
I already tried it myself and let me tell... you I was completely blown away... His surprising tactics could make your life easier and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
Don't just take my word for it... watch his short video and decide for yourself.
