SolaRoof | Livingry Or Weaponry

Reinhold, I am certain that there are many like-minded persons here at solaroof - so I would like to pass your vision along to our communtiy. There is no doubt that Bubble Tech, Liquid Solar and using Cold Water Resources (see these topics at the Sola Roof Wiki) are the weapons California needs for its sustainable development. Eco Living is our mission and I hope your message will mobilize more action on our team. Responses are very welcome, here or at the Wiki where I have made a page called Livingry Or Weaponry for collaborative discussion.

Right after 9-11, $40 Billion dollars (that's $40,000 Million) was allocated by the U.S. Congress to use for whatever military or intelligence means to find our terrorist enemy, wherever they are, and destroy them.

What if from that $40B we used $400 million (.1% of the military grant) to develop a plan that would catalyze the research of alternative sciences and development of environmental technologies that empower people and villages? Rather than just giving in to the forces of death, killing and terrorism, let our contribution also be toward Life, toward the Planet, toward all species. A celebration of the World's people! A compassion for their needs. A spiritual reunion of all religions...

The TERRORIST CELLS that are planning to destroy and maim innocent people and our infrastructures, have always been matched by groups of people that are working on plans and proposals for a World that is coming together and to celebrate our arrival in this new century. We are the LIVING CELLS, Earth commando units, change agents, cultural creatives, part of an emerging Peace Force which can make mid-course corrections and build a sustainable future.

What a fragile time this is for humanity!

Aside from the powerful weapons, we have a vast collection of appropriate technologies for the Muslim world and other developing countries. These technologies have not been needed because oil has been cheeper than drinking water. Elegant solutions and sustainable technologies exist NOW that can pull water out of thin air, that can green the deserts of central Asia with 4 harvests a year, that can capture solar energy from the sunshine that falls on Saudi Arabia.

We can still build many Solar Oasis' in Africa and the Mid-East using water to make the deserts bloom... We can rebuild the West Bank into sustainable desert eco-villages with Jew Arab, and Christian living side by side, equal and together, tending their hydroponics gardens while children are learning about conflict resolution and ecological design. We can set up EC Otels? that can service eco-tourism. We can build mass transportation systems powered by the sun. We can set up community vision centers. We can promote the success of indigenous cultures. We can celebrate our fragile humanity... instead of fighting and getting nowhere!

At home, for the price of one B-1 Bomber ($2 Billion), we could build 2,000 1.4 Megawatt windturbines with a capacity to generate 2,000 Megawatts. (That's two Diablo Canyon Nuclear Powerplants) These turbines could power cities the size of the Bay Area, everyday with no fuel-cost and no waste residues.

Throughout the world for $2 Billion we could build 100 thriving eco-villages that could provide their own housing, food production, energy production, education and culture, health care, and meaningful employment and that are not based on OIL.

Our main question to everyone is: How can we build a lasting PEACE that is vibrant and exciting? How can we implement programs that create security for the people?

Instead of WEAPONRY, we shall continue to build LIVINGRY which helps people to cope and feel secure with their lives. Lets us mobilize the building of life-enhancing technologies that are in partnership with nature. Let us demonstrate abundance for everyone! Enough for everyone's need, but not their greed!

We are SYNERGY CALIFORNIA L.P.,an ecological design and development studio and we believe that this is THE ROAD THAT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN. We are taking it!

If you are like-minded and wish to participate as a funding angel, investor, or client, we are building new lives, with sustainable enterprises, in a new Century.
