Renewable Energy 
Like most fashionable phrases “renewable energy” has acquired several interpretations and the means of acquiring such sources of power are being pursued with all the dedication of a crusade. The motivations of the crusaders seem as varied as those of the original crusaders or the alchemists of old or the seekers after the philosopher's stone. Some are idealists, some are scientists, others are like gold prospectors, many are technicians. There are others who are mixtures of two or more of these. Most of us (which includes myself) seem unlikely to contribute much to the search. I suspect that many of us have a vague hope that someone will discover something worthwhile but a less than vague suspicion that any such discovery will turn out to have results rather unlike what we intended. The sword still guards Eden.
Does this mean that all the striving of mankind is worthless? Despite all the folly of which we are capable, we still left with the land east of Eden, the ground from where we where taken. This still paints a rather bleak picture – and it would be if that were the end of the story. This is not the place (you will be glad to hear) for a study of Genesis. Nor is it even an approach to any kind of Biblical study.
However we interpret the book of Genesis, the gospels record the works of salvation, the way of love which is also the way of life. We it is who bring winter into our lives, we are offered spring, freely, the gift of God in Christ. Isaiah's prophecies have been fulfilled and the crooked are made straight, the rough ways are smoothed and all flesh may, if they choose, see the salvation God has given.
