Currently oil / coal / nuke is a billion dollar a year business. And its not sustainable. We know that cars will be EV. Replace whatever is made on oil with batteries and electricity (each part of the consumed resource) Replace whatever is powered with coal with wind & solar. So whoever figures out the cheapest solar cell will be massively rich. And whoever figures out a great battery (or just manufactures them) will be massively rich. Those of us that realize the time for change is near & real -- have a big time advantage because the rest just don't see it.

There will be a discussion after led by Dr. patrick Boyer who has written a book called Powershift. Email reservations can be made at rsvp@novalisproject.com.

Right now its just a tiny bright dot in the sky, and every day it grows an unnoticeable increment, casting its shadow elsewhere –easy to ignore. This is an apt analogy since the energy providing that global-scale warmth is coming at us from space -from the Sun, and our temperature increases in unnoticeable tiny increments hour-by-hour. Meanwhile, that same asteroid’s energy is all we need to divert the asteroid –being that same Sun! And –we know this! The answer to this “problem” we The Earth are experiencing with that other spatial body, The Sun, is - - - wait for it - - - The Sun! Duh! If we can’t make such a simple and “staring-us-in-the-face-daily” connection like that, why not just turn our backs right now on all concepts of any progress we might envision for ourselves, and accept that we’re heading back into the primordial soup from whence we arose, bereft of the gift of life and intelligence so undeservedly bestowed upon us. Cheerio! Global warming is akin to a huge asteroid that’s flying at Earth from space.
