Renewable energy solutions for the future of our planet.

On February 14th 1990 (Valentine’s day), the Voyager 1 space probe took a photograph of Earth from a distance of 6 billion Kilometres. Against the vastness of space, our planet appears as a tiny blue dot. Carl Sagan, the NASA controller on that day, was so intrigued by the photograph that he wrote a book called “Pale Blue Dot”. Here is what Carl Sagan had to say about his feelings that Valentine’s day in 1990:

“We succeeded in taking that picture, and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there – on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturing, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. …To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”

For us to play our part in preserving and cherishing that pale blue dot, we created a total solutions centre of expertise called OurblueDot. At OurblueDot, we do not only talk about how to utilise green energy, we engineer and implement the total solution.
