About Great Brook Enterprises Renewable NRG and its purpose
Great Brook Enterprises was established in June of 1978 for the purpose of
providing alternatives to "conventional" energy sources that have been growing
more expensive and more unstable in terms of availability. The owner and founder
David M. Austin recognized the energy crisis and gas lines of the 1970's not as
a disaster but a wake up call and an opportunity to help create a better world
for the future. Solar energy as an industry was at the time in a revival infancy
(the first infancy being in the 1920's and 30's with solar hot water systems in
Florida and California). Mr. Austin decided that it was the time to jump in on
the ground floor to grow with the industry. Over the years he has gained enough
knowledge and experience that his skills are in demand.
Solar energy is the primary source of all energy on earth. It is the energy
source that grows plants and produces our food. Without it we would surely die!
It was stored via past plant and animal growth in the form of fossil fuels. If
prevailing theory is correct that the planets spun off from the sun then all
things on and in the earth came from the sun. Mr. Austin asked the question: Why
do we have to use up all the stored solar energy in the earth using tremendous
amounts of energy in the extraction process when it is possible to use solar
energy more directly more efficiently for so many applications? We should be
saving the stored solar energy for applications more practical for its use in
terms of the whole big "earth system" picture instead of just the short term
monetary "bottom line". For what difference does it make if we gain the whole
world in the short term just to use it up and burn it out rendering it useless
for the future? Mr. Austin went about not only looking for answers but putting
into motion the obvious solution, make solar energy collection equipment and its
professional installation available directly to the people.
In the process Mr. Austin discovered that there is a certain philosophy and
spiritual nature that is integrated into the use of renewable energies. He has
since set about to subtly show this to others interested in it.
Hence our mission as a company is not only to help people save money and raise
their standard of living through use of renewable energy, but to provide them a
measure of freedom from dependence on centralized energy distribution. As an
integral part of reducing energy dependence our mission is to help people who
want to hear it, realize the spiritual nature of our existence and see the
grander scheme of things our daily lives often make us blind to. Helping people
become more aware of our energy usage patterns and how to be more energy
conservative is one step in the direction toward fulfilling a purpose given the
human race by the creator to tend the "Garden of Eden" in a responsible and
respectful manner instead of plundering it.
