 Five Technologies That Could Change Everything  

It's a tall order: Over the next few decades, the world will need to wean itself from dependence on fossil fuels and drastically reduce greenhouse gases. Current technology will take us only so far; major breakthroughs are required.
What might those breakthroughs be? Here's a look at five technologies that, if successful, could radically change the world energy picture.
 
They present enormous opportunities. The ability to tap power from space, for instance, could jump-start whole new industries. Technology that can trap and store carbon dioxide from coal-fired plants would rejuvenate older ones. Success isn't assured, of course. The technologies present difficult engineering challenges, and some require big scientific leaps in lab-created materials or genetically modified plants. And innovations have to be delivered at a cost that doesn't make energy much more expensive. If all of that can be done, any one of these technologies could be a game-changer.

SPACE-BASED SOLAR POWER 
 
Model R FordFor more than three decades, visionaries have imagined tapping solar power where the sun always shines-in space. If we could place giant solar panels in orbit around the Earth, and beam even a fraction of the available energy back to Earth, they could deliver nonstop electricity to any place on the planet.
   Sunlight is reflected off giant orbiting mirrors to an array of photovoltaic cells; the light is converted to electricity and then changed into microwaves, which are beamed to earth. Ground-based antennas capture the microwave energy and convert it back to electricity, which is sent to the grid.
   The technology may sound like science fiction, but it's simple: Solar panels in orbit about 22,000 miles up beam energy in the form of microwaves to earth, where it's turned into electricity and plugged into the grid. A ground receiving station a mile in diameter could deliver about 1,000 megawatts-enough to power on average about 1,000 U.S. homes.
 
ADVANCED CAR BATTERIES
 
Model R FordElectrifying vehicles could slash petroleum use and help clean the air.  But it's going to take better batteries. In a lithium-air battery, oxygen flows through a porous carbon cathode and combines with lithium ions from a lithium-metal anode in the presence of an electrolyte, producing an electric charge. The reaction is aided by a catalyst, such as manganese oxide, to improve capacity. Lithium-ion batteries, common in laptops, are favored for next-generation plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles. They're more powerful than other auto batteries, but they're expensive and still don't go far on a charge and can run about 40 miles on batteries alone. Ideally, electric cars will get closer to 400 miles on a charge. 
   One alternative, lithium-air, promises 10 times the performance of lithium-ion batteries and could deliver about the same amount of energy, pound for pound, as gasoline. A lithium-air battery pulls oxygen from the air for its charge, so the device can be smaller and more lightweight.
 
UTILITY STORAGE
 
Model R FordEverybody's rooting for wind and solar power. How could you not? But wind and solar are use-it-or-lose-it resources. To make any kind of difference, they need better storage. 
Battery packs located close to customers can store electricity from renewable wind or solar sources and supply power when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing. Energy is collected in the storage units and can be sent as needed directly to homes or businesses or out to the grid.
   Scientists are attacking the problem from a host of angles-all of which are still problematic. One, for instance, uses power produced when the wind is blowing to compress air in underground chambers; the air is fed into gas-fired turbines to make them run more efficiently. One of the obstacles: finding big, usable, underground caverns.
Similarly, giant batteries can absorb wind energy for later use, but some existing technologies are expensive, and others aren't very efficient.
 
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE
 
Model R FordKeeping coal as an abundant source of power means slashing the amount of carbon dioxide it produces. That could mean new, more efficient power plants. But trapping C02 from existing plants-about two billion tons a year-would be the real game-changer.
Carbon dioxide is removed from smokestack gases and compressed. It's then pumped deep underground and stored in porous rock formations. Techniques for modest-scale CO2 capture exist, but applying them to big power plants would reduce the plants' output by a third and double the cost of producing power. So scientists are looking into experimental technologies that could cut emissions by 90% while limiting cost increases.
 
NEXT-GENERATION BIOFUELS
 
Model R FordOne way to wean ourselves from oil is to come up with renewable sources of transportation fuel. That means a new generation of biofuels made from nonfood crops.
   Researchers are devising ways to turn lumber and crop wastes, garbage and inedible perennials like switchgrass into competitively priced fuels. But the most promising next-generation biofuel comes from algae.
   Algae grow by taking in CO2, solar energy and other nutrients. They produce an oil that can be extracted and added into existing refining plants to make diesel, gasoline substitutes and other products.
   Algae grow fast, consume carbon dioxide and can generate more than 5,000 gallons a year per acre of biofuel, compared with 350 gallons a year for corn-based ethanol. Algae-based fuel can be added directly into existing refining and distribution systems; in theory, the U.S. could produce enough of it to meet all of the nation's transportation needs.

Official disclosure of extraterrestrial life is !mminent
 
An official announcement by the Obama administration disclosing the reality of extraterrestrial life is imminent. For several months, senior administration officials have been quietly deliberating behind closed doors how much to disclose to the world about extraterrestrial life. Dissatisfaction among powerful institutions such as the U.S. Navy over the decades-long secrecy policy has given a boost to efforts to disclose the reality of extraterrestrial life and technology.

AlienThe impending disclosure announcement follows upon the secret implementation of a year-long openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Over the period February 12-14, 2008, the United Nations held closed doors discussions where approximately 30 nations secretly agreed on a new openness policy on UFOs and extraterrestrial life in 2009. The openness policy was implemented but never publicly announced due to threats against UN diplomats not to disclose details of the secret agreement. The secret UN agreement was based on two conditions.
 
First, UFOs would continue to appear around the world; and second, the openness policy would not lead to social unrest in liberal democracies. Both conditions have been satisfied making it possible for the next stage to begin - official disclosure of extraterrestrial life.

OBAMA'S September 24, 2009 chairing of the UN Security Councilmeeting on nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament signaled his emerging leadership role in tackling major global issues such as nuclear weapons. The Nobel Peace Prize was an important step in giving global legitimacy to President Obama in making an extraterrestrial disclosure announcement. Obama is therefore poised to play a prominent role in the increased global governance that will be necessary after an extraterrestrial disclosure announcement. The timing would most likely coincide sometime soon after his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech on December 10, 2009 in Oslo, Norway.

There have been various sources that have revealed deliberations are underway to make an announcement concerning the existence of extraterrestrial life by the end of 2009. These include, Dr Pete Peterson, a whistleblower who has recently emerged revealing high-level discussions have taken place concerning announcing the existence of extraterrestrial life. In a Project Camelot interview, Dr Peterson revealed that "Obama is planning to disclose the reality of ET contact by the end of the year; and that most, but not all, of the ET visitors are friendly."

Another source is David Wilcock, a prominent researcher of emerging scientific paradigms. Wilcock has been told by additional independent sources that extraterrestrial disclosure will take place by the end of 2009. He furthermore claimed in a Coast to Coast AM radio interview that "a 2-hour international TV special has already been booked that will introduce an alien species, similar to humans, to the world."

In addition, popular NASA and space researcher, Richard Hoagland, has publicly come forward to reveal that the October 9, LCROSS 'bombing' mission of the moon, discovered an ancient base at the moon's South Pole. Reviewing the scientific data achieved by NASA's LCROSS mission, Hoagland concluded, also on the popular late night Coast to Coast AM radio show, that "LCROSS is part of a carefully constructed campaign to prepare the populace for imminent disclosure. The President of the United States will soon announce that scientists have discovered ruins on the moon, he added. Nobody saw the LCROSS debris plume because the probes struck a building which swallowed the effects of the explosion."

Finally, two independent and confidential sources have revealed to me that face-to-face meetings have recently occurred between U.S. military officials with one or more groups of extraterrestrial visitors. This has allegedly led to confidence being built for future cooperation with the extraterrestrials that will be formally announced to the world public either at the end of 2009, or early 2010.

In conclusion, a diverse number of sources and events point to some form of extraterrestrial disclosure being made by the end of 2009, or early 2010. Official disclosure will most likely emerge in either of two scenarios. One is that President Obama will announce the existence of extraterrestrial visitors, and describe one or more of these to the world. This scenario is supported by Peterson, Wilcock, and my own confidential sources. The second scenario is that an announcement will be made concerning the discovery of artificial structures at the moon's South Pole, as revealed by the LCROSS mission. This scenario is supported by Hoagland.

Which ever of the above scenarios is used for announcing the existence of extraterrestrial life or technology, President Obama will figure prominently. Behind the scenes, powerful institutions are ensuring that nothing derails the planned disclosure announcement. The disclosure will follow upon a year of greater government openness on UFOs in accord with a policy secretly developed at the United Nations. If extraterrestrial disclosure does occur at the end of 2009 or early 2010, President Obama will lead an unprecedented effort to promote global governance through the United Nations. The Obama administration and its supporters are poised to take a bold step forward in helping our planet become an interplanetary culture that openly deals with the challenges posed by extraterrestrial life.

Comments: they laughed at Galileo when he said earth wasn't in the center of the solar system; they laughed at Columbus because he believed the earth was round; they laughed at Newton for discovering the 3 laws of motion; they laughed at Darwin because he said that mankind didn't originate from one man and one woman. Before truth is acknowledged, it's laughed at. Just like what they're doing about aliens. We have the proof. Proof in paintings from the 1400s and tablets from the Hopi tribe, Mayans, ancient china, Sumerians, Egypt and so on will show you that something human-like came to earth, dropped us off, gave us technology, and left. If you believe in god, then you can at LEAST believe in aliens.

Two Basic Problems with our Government! 

Lady JusticeAs I see it, there are two basic problems in how we have designed our government. The first is that officials favor policies with short-term impact over those in our long-term interest because they need to be popular while they are in office and they want to be re-elected. In recent times, opinion tracking polls, the immediate reactions of focus groups, the 24/7 news cycle, the constant campaign, and the moment-to-moment obsession with the Dow Jones Industrial Average have magnified the political pressures to favor short-term solutions. Earlier this year, the political topic du jour was to debate whether the stimulus was working, before it had even been spent.
   Paul Volcker was an unusual public official because he was willing to make unpopular decisions in the early '80s and was disliked at the time. History, though, judges him kindly for the era of prosperity that followed.
   Presently, Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner have become the quintessential short-term decision makers. They explicitly "do whatever it takes" to "solve one problem at a time" and deal with the unintended consequences later. It is too soon for history to evaluate their work, because there hasn't been time for the unintended consequences of the "do whatever it takes" decision-making to materialize.
   The second weakness in our government is "concentrated benefit versus diffuse harm" also known as the problem of special interests. Decision makers help small groups who care about narrow issues and whose "special interests" invest substantial resources to be better heard through lobbying, public relations and campaign support. The special interests benefit while the associated costs and consequences are spread broadly through the rest of the population. With individuals bearing a comparatively small extra burden, they are less motivated or able to fight in Washington.

ABUNDANCE ABOUNDS THIS WEEK!
October 26th 

This is the week to make hay while the Sun shines! We have abundance in multiple varieties. Monday and Tuesday especially are the best days of all. But we have plenty of abundance all week long and even into early next week. If you missed out on Monday, be sure to use Tuesday to your best advantage. Announce anything you can. Call anyone important for a major project. Start a promotion. Send out resumes. Start a new class. Do whatever you can, but do it today. Think big!

This week has Venus trine Jupiter, a wonderful cycle of abundance which actually peaks on Wednesday, but for various reasons, we have better overall cycles on Monday and Tuesday. Just as that is peaking, Venus also starts trining Chiron, one of the best financial cycles there is. That one will peak on Saturday, October 31st and it stays in range through Nov 5th.

It's VERY UNUSUAL to have both these abundance cycles together. And as if that isn't enough, Jupiter is in range of conjuncting Chiron again, which is also a very abundant cycle. That cycle won't peak until December 7th, so we'll still be in range of abundance for quite some time. But this is the best period, so do your best to take advantage of it.
 
World FotoWhat could possibly occur in the coming weeks? I can think of several possibilities based on the charts and they are all just possibilities.
 
* The banking system, yes including the Federal Reserve, could encounter a major failure. This could possibly lead to banking holidays. (Yes, keep some cash on hand, just in case.)
* The US dollar could drop even more severely than the 15% it's already dropped in value since March 2009. 
* The price of oil and gold could jump significantly.
* The Federal Reserve could be forced to raise interest rates, in order to sell the US debt. This would have a negative effect on the general economy, but may be necessary in order to sustain the federal government. 
* We could encounter a very large, structural change to the financial system such as a large failure of a hedge fund, or a major amount of derivatives failing. 
* We could see a major downturn in the stock market by the end of next week or shortly thereafter.
* The Federal Reserve could be forced to make some major structural changes. This could eventually include backing a percentage of the dollar with gold. 
* OPEC could announce that it will no longer sell oil for US dollars.  
* Obama or another world leader may decide to introduce the extraterrestrials.
Many blessings always!
