Just thought I would share this if you do not already know:

The BP pipeline that started up (on=line) two years ago that goes from Georgia through Turkey to the Mediterranean provides 1% of the world oil.

DESPERATLY SEEKING ANGEL INVESTOR…..

I have been touting Solar, Wind and Tidal-Flow generation on one platform offshore for over 20yrs now......My wind is different from every one else's it is a type of Vertical Axis that has not been seen much if any in 20 yrs either.....it looks like a Power line pole
With holes drilled in it in such a manor that no matter which direction the wind blows it only turns one way.
I have been doing R&D and developing my new Patent Pending Recirculation Generator
That will run off 2 200w PV’s and will put out 1.7KW per hr…..
Takes the cost of 10 PV’s@ $1000.00 =$10,000.00 down to $3700.00 for my Hybrid System 2@ $1000.00 and $1700.00 for recirculator.
And puts out basically the same watts per hr….with a 60% reduction in COST!!!!!

There's a meeting of the Green Building Group at the Wild Wing at the City Marketplace on Tuesday, 8/26 at 5:45. I plan to be there to recruit and meet other members. I hope some of us will be there to set up regular meetings of our own. If not, how does a day of the first week of every month sound? Please respond to my email address also.


Also, my email is bmrousseau@aol.com. Let's start a email list so that we can communicate and respond easily.

First U.S. Solar Highway Installation Starts in Oregon

Electricity for the highway interchange is provided by PGE and the added solar power will be handled through a net metering arrangement. The solar panels will produce electricity during the day, supplying power onto the PGE grid, and PGE will return an equivalent amount of power at night to light the interchange.

"PGE is committed to developing and promoting more solar power in Oregon," said PGE President and chief executive Peggy Fowler. "We appreciate the innovative approach the Governor and ODOT are taking to support our solar industry and make Oregon first in solar highways."

Solar panels on highway rights-of-way, shoulders, poles and safety rest areas have been used in Germany and Switzerland for more than 20 years, but until now they have not been used that way in the United States.

"This could be a perfect way to take something we own - the right-of-way - and realize multiple value out of it," said Allison Hamilton, project director with the ODOT Office of Innovative Partnerships. "It's also a great way to help us reduce our carbon footprint."

In 2007, Oregon passed a law establishing a Renewable Portfolio Standard that requires the state to supply 25 percent of its electricity needs from new renewable sources by 2025.

Governor Kulongosky also directed the Oregon government to become 100 percent powered by renewable resources.

This first solar highway demonstration project will help the Oregon's solar industry to grow.

The project will be designed, constructed and installed by SolarWay, a solar energy engineering, procurement and construction consortium consisting of four Oregon firms - Aadland Evans Constructors, Inc. of Portland as the general contractor; Moyano Leadership Group, Inc. of Salem as the project manager and design leader; Advanced Energy Systems of Eugene as the solar power specialty designer and installer, and Good Company of Eugene as the community and sustainability specialist.

SolarWorld AG of Hillsboro will supply the solar panels, and PV Powered, Inc. of Bend will supply the inverter.

The 104-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system - covering about 8,000 square feet will produce about 112,000 kilowatt hours a year, or 28 percent of the 400,000 kilowatt hours used to light the interchange. The $1.3 million project is expected to be completed and online in December 2008.

DOT is not permitted by law to generate more electricity than it uses and sell that electricity at a profit.

This is not of immediate concern, however, the agency says on its website, since an estimated 20 miles of solar installations on the right of way will be needed to offset ODOT’s annual electrical use of 45 million kilowatt hours used for signals, illumination, buildings, ramp metering and more, at a cost last year of more than $4 million.

Okay guys...I'm in. Let's make things happen. I am going to forward this site to everyone I know, and then some. I like A. Gupta's idea re: a petition. However, I feel this will have limited effect. The only way to make this plan happen is to make Congress take an up or down vote on drilling, and to also push this plan via email and every other form (including A. Gupta's) as well. However, the best form of advertising is by word of mouth. We must assemble in our local markets and get the word out. I am open to meeting with the local Savannah people to coordinate this effort. Talk is cheap...let's take action!

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIES Inc.
“We are the Standard for all Building Structures of the Future”

Why all the media Hype over Alternative Renewable Energy?

The hoopla and the hype about the Alternative Energy Industry are due to several factors that can be summed up very simply.

Obviously the new cost of the old standard; OIL.
We as Americans never do anything until made to. IE: Voting.

Because of the Dynamic shift from a production society, post WWII in the US to a service or market Economy by the end of the 90’s.
Was one of a cause and effect, if you will…

The 90’s was the internet boom….
The 2000 to 2006 the Real Estate boom….
Now we have Real Recession and Inflation, the economy going two different directions at the same time…Stagflation.

So it is quite evident the next boom to get America back on tract is the
Alternative Energy boom.
It’s what makes America Great.
It is these bubbles, or as Greenspan well stated it the “Frothiness” that becomes
THE AMERICAN ALTERNATIVE RENEWABLE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY.

We will rebound and this Alternative Energy Industry will make it so.
God Bless America…….

I have an agenda.....

My life's goal is to have all residential property co-generating electricity in North America by 2025. Little know fact it's only 25% of entire North American Grid Consumption.
This is attainable we have the technology and the man-power.....
We must start now!!!!
Time for talk is over.....

I have introduced the Boldest Solar/Housing Initiative ever put forth...
Entire subdivisions of low-cost Modulars with little to no electric bill that retail from $79,900 to $149,900 680sq 2/1 to 1380sq 3/2
Meets the need for low-cost housing and helps over Stressed Grid during PEAK_USAGE hrs as entire subdivisions come on-line becoming virtual mini-generating stations.

As well as helps the environment…
win-win-win.
It is the short term solution to a long term problem.......

Now that I have come home to south Georgia....
it is time to enlist All the help with this I can get.
I need more R & D with my new patent Idea an will be asking for Ga Tech's help.....with the SOLAR POWERED RECIRCULATOR GENERATOR which will drive the cost of production down by almost 60%
and will also be going back to Washington DC in this election year to demand more from our "so called elected or soon-to-be-elected officials".

I am in negotiations with Roger Little of Spire Solar in Mass to build a 100mw manufacturing plant 35 miles south of Savannah in Liberty County Ga.

My plan is simple mix Roger's little assembly line with RapidModular.com's walling panels to produce under one roof the
structures of the future.

By building our own PV (by the way it will be the largest PV panel ever made 1000watt panel) and being the only PV plant in the entire southeast US. We will capture this market in FL, GA, AL, and SC, NC. Simply by cutting down on the cost of shipping we will be the viable option for all of the Solar Retailers in the Region.

A new market?

Our timing appears fortuitous.
Solarbuzz llc. Says “revenue for the global solar technology industry reached $10.6 billion in 2006, while capital investment through solar photovoltaic-technology business hit $2.8 billion”, the annual World Solar Photovoltaic Industry Report. In addition, the industry raised more than $4 billion in equity and debt financing, up from $1.8 billion a year earlier. Solarbuzz also predicts the industry could expect revenue to reach between $18.6 billion and $31.5 billion by 2011.
In addition, the company is in best effort negotiations with Washington, D.C.-based law firm to study the feasibility of securing state and federal incentives on a project-by-project basis.

The solar industry is booming, boasting growth of more than 40 percent each year and some $30 billion in sales last year, according to Photon International

Clean energy investment soars
July 3, 2008 11:21 am EDT Filed in Investing
Investment in sustainable energy worldwide is posting big growth, with $148.4 billion going to the sector in 2007, according to a new United Nations report.
That was an increase of 60 percent over the previous year, and the dollars climb when all financial transactions including acquisitions are included. That number is $204.9 billion.
The majority of the money going to sustainable energy came in the form of investments geared at adding capacity for renewable energy — a 67 percent surge to $84.5 billion last year. Public market investment in sustainable energy more than doubled, to $23.4 billion from $10.5 billion in 2006. Early stage venture investments grew 112 percent to $2 billion.

The primary funding source will be a Private Placement Memorandum with Subscription Agreement.

Stock will be sold in units
One unit is = to 2000 shares
The cost is $25US per share
So the unit cost is $50kUS

This will be in the form of $25kUS interest only cash loan at 6% simple interest
With a promissory note of $1000US per month for 25 months. Certificate will be issued immediately and transferred at 25th month. This will coincide with Direct Public Offering.

The 6% interest is paid semi-annually to stockholders.
The 25kUS cash will stay in escrow until the day we go public then there will be the pay-out back to stockholders.
The $1000US per month will be used for operating capitol.

The Capitol Expenditures to build out manufacturing Plants, PV and Modular will come from DOE State and Locale Municipalities Grants and initiatives the bulk will be Bridge Loans/holding preferred stock with warrants.
From unnamed Investment Banking Firm
Contenders are: Credit Swiss, World Bank with Asian Development Bank (India and China), Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton.

My company (Synergistic Dynamics, Inc.) and I have been consulting with the US Department of Energy to assist in implementing the loan guarantee program authorized by Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Our next meeting in DC is scheduled for next week. Federal loan guarantees are essential for alternative energy projects

I have been supporting Cape Wind's offshore wind energy project from its inception.

We have been having discussions on the radio AM1440 in Brunswick about how to reduce buying so much oil from overseas. I am a listener who also calls in. I have been studying this topic all my life. My brother in law got his degree in geophysics from Ga Tech in the early 1980s and has a very interesting career in Louisiana. One thing he does is helps people decide it is worth getting more oil of out specific old wells often last used over 50 years ago. A. Gupta is so right about what he said. We absolutely must stop importing so much oil.
