I think one of the first steps to trying to stretch out what we already have it to localize our energy supply grid. Take it down to the level closest to where it is going to be used. Thus there will be less "lost" in transit, and then you can feed the unused portion back into the grid.

It is near years eve in 2020 and I am watching the amazing light displays (mind you I said light displays not firework displays) all around the globe one after another.

All of these light displays are powered by a global power grid, solar power grid, the power sources being at either end of the globe, one on the north pole (sorry Santa)… Continue

Understand by observing the environment,

infrastructure, culture and lives of people by being there.

I believe that this is going to be the most important thing when you are developing anything, it is underlying to all of the other secrets. You really need to understand a culture and the people you are planning to help to really help them instead of trying to put them into your own little box, to change them.



You have to fully be enveloped by them, to truly… Continue

One of the many things I see as a problem in today's business world, which effect many project to make things better is they get stuck and no one can get them moving again. So by 2010 my goal is to be working projects that will help to make the world a better place, move projects forward, help them to not get stuck. If they are projects with health care, energy, hunger, or any other.



So my first step to doing that is to focus on getting my Masters in Business with a focus in project… Continue
