I want to talk about the challenge of exponential growth in a finite world. This is a concept that while on its surface seems easy to get, most people don’t fully grasp it. Any growth rate that is positive will lead to a doubling in size eventually -- the higher the growth rate, the quicker the doubling. A quick "back of the envelope" method of figuring it out is known as the rule of 70. If you divide a growth rate into 70, it will roughly give you the time for something to double. Thus if something is growing at 2% a year, then it will double in about 35 years, at 5% only 14 years, etc. If you want to be more precise, you can always use your Y^x button on your calculator, but the rule of 70 will do for this discussion. Clearly, exponential growth ...

With the announcement that it intends to build the world’s largest solar power plant, China is rapidly evolving into the world’s largest market for solar energy. And with heavy government backing, Chinese solar companies are quickly becoming global leaders.

Fast-growing industry and a reliance on coal-fired power plants turned China into the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gas a few years ago. Clouds of smog far thicker than that of Los Angeles hang over many of its cities and much of the water is densely polluted. But that’s something the central government aims to change.

China plans to reduce energy consumption per unit of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 20% of 2005 levels by the end of next year. It’s more immediate goal is to reduce reliance on coal-fired plants to 60% of its energy production from 70%, and replace with renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

Finding footing in a new world of energy consumption is a difficult task. What will sell and work is thought to be understood but can sometimes turn out to be a “dud”. Time is the key. Maybe the right timing has yet to come. In this regard, diversification can help. Maybe this product idea has yet to find its time, but that one is right and ready to profit. A company that understand the general concept and spreads its resources in an efficient way is one that may coast along today, but be ready to explode with profit tomorrow.

GreenHunter Energy Inc., a generally green energy producer, works to produce energy from sources considered to be environmentally “neutral.” Among these sources are biomass, wind, solar and biofuels. The company owns and operates plants in Wyoming, Texas, California, New Mexico and Montana.
