- How do you think renewable energy can most benefit humanity? (Optional)
- A proverb tells of a hand pumped water well in the desert. Next to it is a soda bottle filled with water and capped. A note on the pump says; "Use the water in the bottle to prime the pump, and drink as much as you like. Drink the bottle dry and those in the future will have nothing for their journey." The money to build a world size renewable energy system - that's the water in the bottle. Use it to prime the "solar pump" and the grandbabies drink free. Waste it now on oil and our legacy will be very, very dry.
- What is the biggest challenge for renewable energy today? (Optional)
- Political Courage
- How is your community affected by energy scarcity? (Optional)
- Oregon is quite comfortable now and comfort doesn't inspire change. Still, there is a lot going on here. I moved from Georgia (USA) to be in a place with a more mature RE industry and the Northwest is 10-15 years ahead of GA,...but then so is Khazakstan.

These are all engineering issues that are treated like political issues.
It can take a very long time to form a political consensus.
If this group can form a solid consensus it may be able to enrich the world by its leadership.
WATER
Water projects generally remove water from wilderness areas reducing habitat and soil biomass.
New large sources of water need to be found to maintain human and bio habitats.
The only significant source of water is rain.
It is usually a given that weather modification is unproductive but recent measurements
of ocean surface conditions point to a mechanism for increasing ocean evaporation.
ENERGY
The most economically viable source of energy today is coal.
To quickly displace this source on a global scale a requires a cheaper source.
Kite based wind energy has the potential to undercut the coal industry globally.
TRANSPORTATION
Movement of people and goods is a major element of any economy.
Huge amounts of energy go into production of vehicles, pavement and fuel.
Evacuated tube transportation can reduce these 3 costs by an order of magnitude.
