In the world before internet there were universities where people would congregate to share knowledge. Graduates moved into jobs, Governments or started their own universities or organizations to capture their own piece of the pie, forever thankful to the individuals and systems responsible for their status and well being.
Now we see the new world order evolving. It is a virtual world anchored to real people who perform real functions in a rapidly changing environment.
The virtual internet society has its own social structure with self appointed voluntary participants. It had to 'start' with something. Old concepts of power and worth, service and success have been modified to suit an environment where real communication and real knowledge is the medium of exchange. This is not about writing missives and following directions. It is about establishing a dialogue with another individual and enjoying the company of that other person. A person who does not belittle or pity you. A 'giver' rather than a 'taker' . It is about teaching and being taught.
With power by the people for the people, the captains of industry are also the navies. Within weeks we will see graduates of the Pickens U create their own Nings tied together with Twitter. If you can set up a 'my page' you can set up your own Ning social network. That is all 'we' need to manage our problems. Massive projects can be carried out by the co-ordinated input of millions rather than by the few hundred who 'control' the resources.
It's a game Peter. The Canadian Plan is to get the Americans to show us how to do it. My latest suggestion is to build gas turbine electric generators for each community to act as backup for whatever alternate energy system gets put in place. These systems could be fired up quickly when the wind dies down or when everyone needs to recharge their EV. They will also run on methane, syngas and/or hydrogen as well as bio-oil, coal oil or used engine oil. The local area grid reduces the wastes associated with long high voltage lines, improves national security.
We have given both Governments a 'thrown together speech' and really can't wait to see what they do with it.

TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority.
The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must drastically improve efficiency .
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT
