2010 Energy Report: Advancing Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production
While Alt. Fuel is our main focus, we are shifting the research this year to advance our Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production objectives because of the need for cheaper smart power onsite. That power demand will be extensive so we wish to design something that has never been done & something that will be a model for future development sites and projects. If you, or your company, are on the cutting edge of Thermal solar, TES, hydrogen, natural gas, CHP, heat & air, geothermal, on a base load scale, please consider presenting your white papers per our request.
We are tracking over 200 companies in these different energy areas and wish to learn more about how we might work together as we are able to see business development move in a like minded direction. If we are not already tracking your company and you feel we should be, please let us know and we will look over your profile. Keep in mind this is base load and smart onsite which is not the norm. Our objective is to produce power cheaper, cleaner, smarter with combined energy sources & seemless intergration. If you don’t have a working solution for that type of energy production potential, that can be tracked at every point in the loop, the question becomes, why not? Current research and design models have our projected cost per MW of power far cheaper than most producing alternative energy systems & designs which means all old systems currently in production are outdated and of no use to us without extensive modification, demanding major expense, & rework.
We are open to co-production agreements with current old energy systems companies that know they must transfer their plant designs which are presently outdated. This will demand feedstock transfers, production downtime, construction costs which will be extensive, not to mention major investment in new & renovated infastructure, buildings and equipment, keeping in mind these will be first time projects never produced before. Total new alternative energy cost projections are a major part of our M&A evaluation process. Those numbers are currently far more than most have currently projected even on a model, first phase scale. This is in large part due to remediation which seems lost to most in the total restructure equation. Without this extensive understand whatever cost number reached has missed it’s mark on a grand scale. In fact, we will not consider any future project unless we have been in charge of all remediation work during the life of the cost consideration evaluation process. There will not be one dime spent on any potential old energy production plant rework without first having the remediation cost projections well in hand. Here we must work side by side with both CFO and COO who are the only people who might begin to understand the merit of our clean site objectives and process.
It is also important to remember we are talking about an underground and above ground sea of pipes, wires, equipment, & roads that must be integrated. Operations must be priority one with any new design. These operations must be integrated on a large scale. This means thinking in terms of a closed loop type system. This demands CAD/BIM/GIS.
This is where our alternative fuel designs are making advances and we feel our base load power production should have the same type model. Total utilization of energy must be a major objective.
Cost cutting in solar. Think recycled materials
The basic green design idea is to heat water.
Others spend more money doing the same thing on a larger scale.
Then you have the light of 700 suns…

via the Fresnel lens, something we focus on here. The trick to bring the cost down far more than the present numbers. Sad fact is most still don’t know where the lens goes. Green intergrated design is about first seeing the whole system working in harmony with the rest of the eco system.
If you don’t have permaculture at the heart of your work, your on the wrong team. Sad fact is most do not care as long as they have a paying job. That sad fact is not seen just yet. It will be when the investors take the hit. If you not cutting costs & reducing the footprint via recycled materials and integrated sustainable design it is only a matter of time before a long term price will be paid.
The objective to reduce the footprint & the cost. Most have forgotten what reducing costs means. Where are the recycled materials? Why aren’t they being used? What’s wrong with cutting costs and using recycled materials? Seems some just don’t care about the cost or about the size of the footprint as they have been given endless supplies of money.

natural gas will be able to act as the back up source for power generation, however shutting down old coal plants may not happen anytime soon. every form of potential carbon capture that can be researched and proven to be cost effective will be explored with the idea of reducing emissions. old energy thinking is not something I support, however I understand those who have and do currently have all the power and all the money. Those that sell out in Washington are simply part of the money crowd that backs all of the old energy cos. and their management. Nothing new really. Only when the American People get wise to this fact will anything really change and millions collect their checks from old energy company payrolls. Until green jobs becomes a real working solution for millions & millions of people, nothing really changes.
JOBS MATTER. NOW. Today in 2009, the jobs in energy are found in old energy companies. The Utility companies are some of the worst old energy cos. & managements in the old energy field. YET, They stand to get even more rich off of green alternative energy solutions that are not local or community based. To me that is wrong and yet you see green alternative energy companies sucking up to them every day.
I am saying make energy local and community based and forget giving one dime to old energy Cos. or their management. The workers will be more than happy to find new jobs with green alternative energy companies if they are there. They sure as hell aren’t going to make a change without knowing they have another job somewhere else.
