About Me

I have accomplished a couple dozen pretty amazing things. In doing this, I have explored hundreds more dead end trails that Lewis and Clark. I've learned to extract the highest possible value from experiencing trails that ultimately must be abandoned. I can now get to "No" in the tenth the time it used to take.Today, once again, we've brought a key portfolio of solutions to a launch point. I've learning that every fog bank does have an end with clear views beyond. The key is to never forget what you are working for and being committed to getting even if you arrive banged up, bloodied, humiliated, embarrassed, doubted and having been written off as hopeless. Every one of those is a key and a clue to what problems need to be solved to make the impossible happens.

More About Me

I'm passionate about

Efficient and well balanced resource applications.Efficiency from the product manufacture , past the meter and all of the way to generation resources and the local environment.

An idea worth spreading

The equipment needed for carbon, GHG emissions, adequate clean and adequate fresh water, feeding the world, at lower prices is already invented. The barrier is that manufacturing and corporate revenues are served by continuing to sell new equipment and energy. Resource delivery systems need to sell machinery, service and chemicals to stay profitable. Another barrier is that creating a less fearful world would dilute control of the fear driver techniques deployed by the manipulators and political structure.

Talk to me about

Vetting good ideas.

People don't know that I'm good at

Bicycling, Scuba, Music, Outdoor enjoyment and survival skills, Instructing flying, Personal Coaching, and a bunch of other areas that become relevant from time to time.

    A comment on Conversation: Should humanity bend to nature or should nature bend to humanity?

    Jul 14 2012: Wow. I'm really glad you asked. People in the renewable energy business are trying to convice us we can. that nature should be humanity. Even imagining that we as a creation of nature could become it's master is psychotic. Nature is not. I think nature has been quite tolerant by allowing us to hang around. I'd be getting pretty pissed by now. Nature has an an interesting way of balancing things out. Humans, on the other hand, have messed with Nature enough to cause some imbalance. Will be survive the rebalancing?

    Mar 30 2012: The best thinking and program on earth. Now lets take it to full capture of wind overgen. This is probably the best battery option.

  • A comment on Talk: Donald Sadoway: The missing link to renewable energy

    Mar 30 2012: This is the best of class Electricity storage concept. From Someone who has been ahead of the curve by 3-5 years since we first met in 1998.
    The double agenda is what is the biggest magic
