Hi Martin, Earlier today I was discussing my daughter's dissertation for her Ph.D. in adult education. It seems that most all leaders in environmental education had deep and fulfilling childhood encounters with nature. Then, something happened to shock them into understanding a need for change. Although I never previously considered the social change imperative to this degree, my daughter dutifully explained that that is where all real change must occur. So changing those people who are affluent enough to not give a dern or even really be aware until their "fix" is threatened is more difficult than changing those who already relate to the earth. The Nuevo Riche is even more difficult to change and here in the US we are most all new rich by world standards.
Your ability to stop an atomic explosion is phenomenal. Even if your plan needs tweaking, simply presenting the concept is a step in the right direction. Although most people think highly of Mr. Nobel, he is responsible for blowing up many bodies during a world war. At least he learned to sing "Amazing Grace" to reward peace thereafter. I regret that your brain-child project is not including you in the potential application of this very important step towards world peace. It seems that the same thing happens to many of us along the way. And we just have to flow with the punches. My many years of work and dedication done toward forwarding hydrogen from ocean waves was absorbed without reward. Now, I know that I must be a bit more "commercial" in my biofuels work, even though the ultimate goal is for the right reasons. It's wonderful to sleep well at night. And that is where we gain our insights and ability to keep on keeping on. We all help each other by exchanging our ideas and we all build toward our own value fulfillment. And I know what you mean about receiving credit. Even if it is financial credit, at least we want to be recognized for our work effort. It feels good to feel good. Thanks for the post, Martin. And no, I'm not a publisher. I'm a writer. I'm on my seventh manuscript--great fun and without equal for entertainment. I entertain myself. Mostly I have written Texana. I wrote a great book called "Son of a Texas Gun" which a publisher snatched up then sold the publishing company to a Christian publisher... so it was dropped. It's about a different George W.--lots of fun and timely, but time is running out. Well, good books endure beyond flash emotions. One of my books is environmentally focused, but then there are these elements in all of them... how else could it not be. My current endeavor is a biography about a woman born in a stick and mud hut in Mexico. We meet every few weeks to continue the story. It's amazing how things twist and turn. If I planned the book from start to finish I could never have picked up on each segment's impact. Since I have not had a television in over thirty-five years, I really do have a different world view. Best wishes, Peggy Thank you very much for your email. I enjoy reading your e-mails. Are you a publisher? I have something interesting to tell you that will probably be a bit of a surprise. I n 2001, I developed a theoretical model for a neutrino beam source that would stop the nuclear bomb from reaching critical mass. Therefore no explosion! I sent these details to the British government but I received no real financial compensation for this project. I have heard that some tests are being conducted in secret underground bases but this might be a rumour. What should I do with this project to seek financial rewards? Any idea? Thanks Martin >Thank you Robert for the collection/ storage summary on hydrogen. I >also read your book info. You are very good.
