Re: The Involved vs. The Apathetic -- odds anyone?

I can't believe that you have not established a report with a Prof. - Schools get all kinds of R&D grants and they know how to apply for them - it's a career for them.   You are creating jobs and you are starting a manufacturing company - you need a business plan when you go looking for a loan. Borrow with personal notes, 10% two years with no payment for two years, - repayment at end of the two years principal and interest in ten equal monthly payments. After two years, these creditors are "old friends" so you can pay them off with equity or you find a new "investor" to take the position left by the first investor. It's a variation on our Canada Pension Plan (also known as the Canada Ponzi Plan) You really only need one backer and if the U.S. Gov won't support you I have some friends in Hong Kong. An electric car manufacturer has taken his idea to Israel.

I rattled off the above last night before bed.  This morning I see the post with an option to edit, so here's the extra.

California, Florida, Spain, Algeria are already building solar/thermal generating systems.  If you have a better any part of it - why aren't they talking to you?  Have you not approached them? Are you concerned that you will lose a patenable improvement that you can not afford to patent?

I've spent the morning reviewing another earth policy site and once again I finish with an understanding that the world is a basket case,- and once again no one has any idea HOW to get the rubber on the road.

Then there are those who have real answers to the problems, but are unable, for personal, financial or social position to implement them.

If you really have something to save the world you will not be allowed to produce it and keep it for yourself - but we all do - I have no intention of telling anyone about how to recover 95% of all heat from all ventilation air - until I can afford to hire a legal firm full time to protect my wonderful "invention". 

 
Hang in there, something has got to give.
