Alternative Energy and the Americas




Stanford R. Ovshinsky has been called "the modern world's most important energy visionary." His career has combined path-breaking scientific work, the creation of new industries and a deep commitment to "make a better world." His work on energy and the environment has particular significance for the Americas. http://www.clas.berkeley.edu:7001/ …

    Did you somehow realize that forests generate alot of heat, and that removing them removes their ability to create it? Personally, I’d rather have the forests, because you are correct, they are very large lungs of the planet. So are plankton.

    By the way, did you know that in 2007 the ice caps of planet earth were the largest ever in recorded history? Fact. The global “cooling” happened, because the sun cooled down.

    The sun is what was causing the warming.

    pt.2 “…has already been deforested.” Surely this is some cause for alarm?

  3. jerepah says:

    pt.1 “but emphasis is on “Manmade Global Warming” which does not exist.”

    Land clearing and deforestation hasn’t contributed to ‘global warming’ in any significant way? Eg., once the Amazon was referred to as ‘the lungs of the planet,’ and according to an article, “Brazil admits Amazon deforestation on the rise,” MSNBC Aug. 30, 2008, “The Amazon region covers about 1.6 million square miles of Brazil, nearly 60 percent of the country. About 20 percent of that land …”

    I’m skeptical of the motivations behind having the symposium. The technology is good, however, it is only solar energy (although those batteries are fantastic). I have no problems with Mr. Ovshinsky other than he IS BEING USED TO PROMOTE AN AGENDA. The agenda is for a global carbon tax when CARBON IS NOT A CONTRIBUTOR to global warming.

    If you would like to be controlled, stay asleep, and continue believing solar is the best we’ve got. It is very low on the totem pole.

    Pay your taxes

    EXACTLY!!!!!!!

    Well, I don’t know about his electric cars when “corporate America” still hasn’t yet decided to allow it’s growth. Governing leaders are intent on eliminating competition as if power & money is all ruler….that’s funny, huh? I definitely question his social justice & the govt. funding with the present social structuring=Communitarian Law. King Cement & King Steel stepped on Queen Hemp & she is economical & sweet on the environment as alternative. Baby electricity grew despite potential harm. $!

    It’s amazing what ideological bias will do to otherwise sensible people. Here’s a man who invented PV technology that has saved megawatts of energy, battery technology that’s in use in hybrid cars on the road today, and more. Yet, instead of listening, people are “skeptical” and “object” because of predetermined decisions they’ve made about global warming. Tell us: what have you done for humanity in comparison? What have your sources accomplished that makes them more credible than Mr. Ovshinsky?

    Unfortunately there is a theory, written I think by Justin Ramaido, that this was exactly Bush’s goal. “Bash and Break” the US dollar, it goes, until it collapses. Then issue a new currency totally under his control. He only gives this out to those he wants, thus rendering them totally beholden to him.

    Heh. Found a podcast with him, gonna listen right now . . .

    Actually, if everyone installed a water to “Brown’s gas” converter on their car the solution could be implemented right now. So, the power plant solution does already have an existing alternative player. Doesn’t work too well in a watch though, however, when powering the grid appliances can still be plugged in. It’s a start.

    I object heavily to the sermon on global warming, but give him credit. He may not know it’s all about a global carbon tax, and nothing at all to do with real science.

    “2. His NiMH battery can power EVERY car and truck on the planet, has a TESTED 10 CALENDAR year life. Unlike Lithium batteries.”

    “All owned by Chevron - heaven help us. ”

    That is very different. I’m at 32:00, and you’ve given me the most information so far. Thank you. So far he has only mentioned photovoltaic cells (solar cells). I hope he mentions what you’ve stated since he said this wasn’t going to be a lecture. I’ll check out the links.

    Thanks again!

  12. hubristime says:

    At 28:47 in the video I’m skeptical of the motivations of this video. He says Al Gore deserved his Nobel prize when all evidence proves the science used in his study was erroneous and sometimes outright fraudulent. The solution provided so far is nothing more than solar energy. A good solution, but emphasis is on “Manmade Global Warming” which does not exist. I suspect this is a public relations campaign for a global carbon tax to be paid directly to the world bank by everyone on the planet.

    IF you do the reading AND this is your LAST piece of information on Ovshinsky, you should find out that -

    1. Ovshinksy’s inventions are extremely valuable. To the tune of several $B a year in profits, if his 10x current production of solar panels assembly line succeeds. With a 30% net profit margin.

    2. His NiMH battery can power EVERY car and truck on the planet, has a TESTED 10 CALENDAR year life. Unlike Lithium batteries.

    All owned by Chevron - heaven help us.

  14. PSmithFortyTwo says:

    hubristime - alternatives. ER, NO. Not developed, tested and ready to go. Otherwise forget them.

  15. PSmithFortyTwo says:

    Google Peter Dale Scott for groups within the elite, battling for control. Oil lobby, vs Saudi lobby, vs AIPAC, vs Wall St, vs southern money, vs evangelicals. Highly educational. Plus the best single source on JFK AND 9/11. A VERY useful man.

  16. hubristime says:

    I looked it up. You’re correct. Excellent.

  17. hubristime says:

    You are never alone even when you feel you may be. Thank you for sharing.

    The problem is that most financial entities that hold large amounts of assets are owed money through derivative contracts. The total money owed could grow to several hundered trillion dollars. There is not enought money in existence or that can be created to cover those losses.

    Yet those institutions require payment to stay solvent. I believe it could be characterized as systemic collapse. A new monetary system is needed and will arrive either on the world’s terms or that of it’s own.

    Thank you brother. I agree with what people need to do. I see Obama inspiring others to do what needs to be done. When Cheney was told X% didn’t approve of his war, and responds with a rude “So?”, moments like that make me lose hope.

  20. hubristime says:

    I completely agree with you. And, I’m sorry for the button I pushed. Yes, it is better to be able to believe in something.

    Today I feel better because now I also can believe in you. I believe eventually people will begin to gradually see the world in their own eyes instead of through eyes that tell them what they are seeing. The picture won’t be easy to take, but if we believe in each other then we truly will “be the change” we need: together.

    Peace, and respect.

    Look up patent# 5139684, same thing happened. The Pharmaceuticals industry bought the rights to the patent and squashed it. The cure for all infectious disease sits unused.

    This man makes a lot of sense.

  22. 12stringsforme says:

    Ha! You’re right. The “Obama traitor” idea really p* d me off. Because I believe in him. Y ou gotta believe in something or what’s the point right?

  23. hubristime says:

    But you suggested something strictly against the constitution, and the ideas are coming straight out of the Obama administration. If those truly are not your philosophies then you are repeating something that sounded good to you at the time, but you didn’t really think about what it really means.

    Your taste in music is much better than your common sense.

  24. hubristime says:

    And, I wasn’t complaining. I offerered the first piece of real evidence to prove he is a traitor to the people of the USA, 90% of whom did not want the bailout which has taken this country from a recession into a depression. So did many other congressmen/women, and senators.

  25. hubristime says:

    Proof of your pretending and making things up in your own mind to support your beliefs. I most certainly did vote, and with an informed conscience.

    You, on the other hand, are a supporter of the NWO and believe in controlling people by any means necessary. You probably even believe the Constitution of the United States of America should be abolished since it has strong language against that which you have just stated.
