Migration
Migration is both a gift and a problem. It has contributed to the spread of ideas, some vastly helpful and some infinitely terrible. It can and has led to an ever-expanding view of the world and the enrichment of the human knowledge base. It has contributed to advances in health and medicine that have expanded the evolution of Homo Sapiens.
A disastrous migration occurred when the Yamahaya tribes of the Russian Steppes developed a technology of horses, wagons and metal swords. They swept into Northern Europe, killing men and raping women as they first stole their agricultural crops and then the land itself. The Yamahaya established an illusion of blue-eyed, blond-haired, white-skinned masculine power depicted by Gods who control everything - including women’s bodies.
Since about 3000 years ago, this rape and ruin mindset has continued to march around the world, establishing a Western capitalist culture that marginalized and dominated non-white peoples. Using advancing technologies at every stage of humanity’s spread across the world, Western capitalism destroyed the natural relationship between humans and Mother Earth. Mediterranean Goddess cultures and their affirmation of Mother Earth were driven underground.

Goddesses
In the 20th century, as women in different parts of the world gained access to education, awareness of earth-affirming goddesses reemerged. Female archeologists began to unearth physical evidence of ancient clay and bone goddesses and their significance. More recently medical historian Cat Bohannon has shown How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution. So why does medical research base itself on the male body?
While coal, oil and gas industries of patriarchal capitalism continue to contaminate the land, water, and air that gave birth to and sustain humanity itself, newer technologies have emerged that align with ancient goddesses and their connection with a nurturing planet.
Clean Energy Era
New clean energy technologies, especially solar and wind, ushered in the 21st century. These technologies have matured and are rapidly spreading across the world, often in remote areas that have benefited from being ignored by Western capitalism. Every year these become cheaper to buy, easier to install, and more efficient in storage capacity and connectivity. Energy from solar and wind is now cheaper than that produced from coal, oil and gas. Moreover:
· Large solar arrays installed over water reduce its evaporation while simultaneously sending energy into an area’s electrical grid.
· Medium sized solar installations over grass land provide grazing for sheep and goats and energy for associated ranches.
· In dry regions, even a small array of solar panels over crops will lower air temperature, increase humidity, and shield food plants from excessive sun. The energy produced increases a small farmer’s income. Called agrivoltaics, this form of crop production has taken root in parts of Africa and has spread into Colorado and Virginia. By 2030 this form of farming could account for 10% of global solar capacity.
The fourth largest economy in the world, the multi-cultural state of California, get 40% of its energy from solar and 20% from wind. No wonder the oil and gas industry, interested in profits versus people and doing what’s right, is trying to stop the advance of sources of clean energy.
Make A Difference
Maybe you don’t yet have solar panels on your roof and balcony or a small wind generator in your back yard (now available), drive an electric car, or subscribe to a community solar project, but you can use your voice and your vote to hold oil and gas companies accountable for the damage they inflict. You can raise awareness of the accessibility of clean sources of energy.
