There Is No Energy Crisis, There is a Crisis of Ignorance

Buckminster Fuller inspired this project, now it is taking shape. The Global Energy Network Institute is helping change the people think about energy around the world. a very cool video and they have several sites.

www.OnFullerLving.com (that is interviews with students of Bucky being interviewed by Alex Mandossian)

www.GENI.org which is their main site... a little overwhelming or me, the first one is simpler.

when will we stop fighting over the past (oil) and start creating a sustainable future (renewable energy).

What's described here is often called a smart grid or supergrid. It could be built right now using high-voltage DC current to transmit power. In the future superconducting wires may be used for lossless transmission.

Bucky was one of the fathers of sustainable energy; it's a shame that his ideas are pasted into this video without being updated for the 21st century.

My self-link antenna are going wild...

How foolish of these people to not even include nuclear power plants on their list of safe renewable energy.

Yeah, mine went off too, but I couldn't find any evidence, so it stays for now.

This woman's voice is the one i always imagine when i think of a welcoming billboard in a distopian city!

Sorry to say but if there's no profit margin in a global energy solution, then the idea is dead in the water. I have absolutely no faith in man doing "what is right." Cynical? Yes. Realistic? You bet. How do I know man will generally only do that which makes him money? Because the entirety of recorded history tells me so.
