One can only wonder why this technology is not being employed.
Mike Adams just ran the following story on his blog and I just discovered a solution for those who choose to use cell phones and would like to neutralize the EMF’s.
(NaturalNews) A growing body of evidence, dating back to the 1960s, suggests that brain tumors may be only one of the many health problems produced by our new wireless society will produce.
Cell-phone technology “could lead to a health crisis similar to those caused by asbestos, smoking, and lead in petrol,” warned the European Union’s environmental watchdog agency in 2007.
The most ambitious attempt to catalogue the health risks of cell phones to date is the industry-funded Interphone study, carried out by researchers from 13 different countries (not including the United States). Although the study has been criticized for selecting data in a way designed to play down the risks of cell phone use, it continues to turn up alarming findings nonetheless. Among the findings so far are a 40 percent increase in brain tumor risk among adults who use a cell phone for 10 years (especially on the side of the head where the phone is held); a 300 percent increased risk of acoustic nerve tumors; and an increased risk of tumors of the parotid gland. The risk of a brain tumor increases by 400 percent in people who start using a cell phone before the age of 20.

If you enjoyed yesterday’s Gunter Pauli video, you may find this interview in Italy a great short overview of his work that you can pass along to those who may be pessimistic about our future.
I just discovered that Gunter will be presenting at an extraordinary gathering, the World Congress on Zero Emissions Initiatives, September 13-17 in Honolulu. I will posting a June review of Gunter’s new book, The Blue Economy that outlines Professor Pauli’s plan for 100 innovations producing 100 million new jobs in 10 years! Here is a link to more information on Gunter and the book. And finally the link to his ZERI site in case you missed it yesterday.
I believe The Blue Economy is the most positive practical vision of the future that exists. Let us hope world leaders will adopt his evolutionary plan. It has the potential to create the sustainable world we have dreamed of and halt the ecocide generated by poor product and process design without thinking about consequences. This is the answer Einstein had in mind when he suggested that problems cannot be solved at the same level they were created at and Buckminster Fuller had in mind when he described a world that works for everyone with as little harm to the environment as possible. We are on the verge of an historic breakthrough. I’ll be providing continued updates on this exciting emerging trend as it unfolds. Welcome to the future present. A fresh look at reality.
Ocean Renewable Power, is one of a number of start-ups trying to develop tidal energy — water-powered turbines that spin in the current as the tides come and go, turning generators to make electricity that is clean and, they hope, reasonably priced.
Technologies are still being tested, and environmental questions are as yet unanswered. A tidal plant in Manhattan, Maine or elsewhere in the United States that would feed significant power to the grid is at least a few years away.
The appeal is that it’s carbon-free and it’s there, No transmission lines are required
A complete unit would have four 20-foot turbine sections, two on each side of a generator capable of producing, at peak, about 250 kilowatts. The units could be mounted on the bottom or moored under water and in some cases could be stacked as many as four high
The project cannot proceed until more financing is obtained. Environmental reviews could be a “significant hurdle” for deployment of tidal energy systems. “These devices are going in new places, places where there hasn’t been industrial development,” he said. “So there are lots of questions.”
The first units in the water are not going to be competitive with coal. Our challenge is to get enough of them in the water and refine the manufacturing processes and other things we have to do to get them cost competitive.”
For ORP, as for other alternative energy start-ups, raising capital is difficult. The company will soon be looking for $10 million to $12 million to continue development of the system and begin installing it in the Western Passage.
TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is an annual event that presents individuals doing extraordinary work in these three areas. I have posted several wonderful videos and the one below featuring multimedia director and performer Natasha Tsako is another standout.
Natasha is a Swiss born artist living in Miami and performing there and around the world. Her appearance at TED last year featured excerpts from her one-woman show, UP WAKE, that integrates sound, computer generated images and a live stage performance. Her performance is amazing and her empowering concluding comments on the video are powerful. I have extracted them so readers can appreciate their depth. Enjoy!

There is a revolution
It’s a human and technological revolution
It’s motion and emotion
It’s information.It’s visual, musical, sensorial, conceptual, it’s Universal
It’s beyond words and numbers:
It’s happening.
The natural progression of science and art finding each other to touch and define the human experience.
There is a revolution in the way we think, share and express our stories, our evolution.
This is a time of communication, connection, and creative collaboration.
Charlie Chaplin innovated motion pictures and told stories through music, silence, humor and poetry.
He was social and his character, The Tramp, spoke to millions. He gave entertainment pleasure and relief to so many human beings when they needed it the most.
We are not here to question the possible but to challenge the impossible.
In the science of today, we become artists.
In the art of today, we become scientists.
We design our world. We invent possibilities.
We teach, touch and move.
It is now that we can use the diversity of our talent
to create intelligent, meaningful and extra-ordinary work.
It’s now.
