ReplyDeleteCoconut Revolution video is a tell tale sign the Mayans are correct, it is there time to speak.
A friend of mine runs the Green Island Project, an interfaced alternative energy system that transforms waste into Algae bio diesel, bio gas, and other butane transportation fuels, all the while, mining a land fill.
Its been 3 years since I met him. From Catalina Island to Tahiti, and onward, all over the globe, he has been trying to get implementation. waiting, straining his existence for this.
I wonder what other strained elements I can think of in a day? Seems at least one a day come to mind.
Yesterday, it was my brother's marriage and thinking how many other American princess wives are having temper tantrums because their expectations are not even close to becoming reality anymore. Her dreams of being a part of a new big fashion magazine driving around in her Escalade, has my brother's wife in a tantrum.
Her sister started up an online magazine called Coco Eco Magazine.
Richard Branson is on the cover this month. Guess who is submitting his Green Island Project to Richard Branson? My friend in Green energy.
His submission for the $25 million dollar Virgin Eco Challenge is the best, I am sure. I know from asking billionaire Venture Capitalist at the Renewable Energy Convention in Vegas in 2006."Do you know who Karen Betram is over at International Environmental Solutions?" And VC said they were the best thing going. So why is IES in capitulation? Easy, the VC are proprietary seekers, looking at the EROI, and they are spoiled with a hyped value from a past synthetic perception.
These people at IES are pioneers of the most important element of our society, engineers. We should be fighting for this. The appropriate technology in the green energy industry is a small world. Don't have to look to far for the answers.

The main reason green energy will never take over in today's model is that industry and the scale of inputs to maintain Industry are not sustainable.
We have to recreate society. That means people need to sort and herd into eco villages.
Come up with shared resources and get your own $25 million dollar budget going.
There is an IES unit that provides power to 5000 people minimum, at a cost way less than $25 million, but lets say the 2 mega watt demonstration was for your sorted herd and you could sell the power?
Pay off in 5 years and you can build another one and become power companies. 5000 people divided by 25 million= $5,000. You mean to tell me we cant rally 5000 people at 5 grand each to get in on this? Insane to me. Where is the entertainment industry? It doesnt seem possible that the math adds up, but it does, its called the power of community.
In the video I watched there is a BIGG gap when the building

ReplyDeleteFTW's information is once again moving us to restate that synomonously mundane/ethereal message of all ages, which goes: "General ignorance of reality's nature is humankind's only genuine adversary."
For those who see this being the case: "Overcoming human societies' general ignorance of reality's nature is therefore required to fulfill contemporary humankind's long physiologically evolved/developed capacity to fully consciously possess and thereby benefit from such knowledge."
*******
Human kinds' ultimate & final hope is that 'a sufficient/prerequisite number' of their/our members will -- in fact -- begin personally internalizing and thereby actualizing a basic comprehension of reality's construct. At the same time, bear in mind: "It is the duty of reality's contrarians to deride those who see humankind freeing itself from the otherwise inevitable cycle of rising & falling civilizations."
Decision: Rise to the occasion? Or let it slip away, again.
