Welcome to NEMCA “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Albert Einstein WHY A NEW ENERGY MOVEMENT? Following are key points about the need for a grassroots citizens’ push for supporting research and development of new clean energy systems: 1 Time urgency. a) Environmental degradation (oil spills, unhealthy air, ocean acidification, b) The scarcity-mentality which results in oil wars and vicious competition; c) Pessimism - threats of economic power-down constrict people with fear; and d) The fact that most national energy policies are steaming ahead in the wrong direction, fueled by huge piles of taxpayers’ money and oiled by well-funded public relations propaganda, toward agribusiness that grows genetically modified products for biofuels instead of food, megaproject centralized hydrogen and hydro infrastructures, hot fusion (which is dirty) research and thousands of nuclear fission plants. 2 Quantum-leap alternatives are real, but aren’t on the market yet. Examples, often languishing in unfunded laboratories, include: 3 Roadblocks Vested interests interfere with disruptive technologies in various ways including: 4 ‘Ordinary’ people can change the situation, because people-power trumps. People of common sense can see the danger of waiting for private industry or for the government or “experts” to press for a changeover to truly clean energy systems. 5 Everyone can help in some way. You can envision what it’s like to look up past inspiring architecture to blue skies, or to feel soft unpolluted rainwater on your face while standing on a sidewalk in a city, while other people also smile in appreciation. Feel how a fresh-air country landscape with restored ecosystems appeals to your five senses. See clear rivers winding through tomorrow’s New-Energy-powered lands. That view has been cleared of today’s web of high-tension wires and poles powerlines over the years. (The grid won’t be needed, because distributed power isn’t necessary when you have small-is-beautiful energy systems locally and individually.) Imagine yourself, or a favorite child as an adult, joyfully working at a satisfying occupation -- perhaps helping to restore one ecosystem after another on our planet, or designing soaring translucent buildings that have been made possible by the new materials that will result from certain New Energy technologies.
Frequently Asked Questions: 1. What is New Energy? By this definition we do NOT include, in the New Energy category, standard energy alternatives such as Examples of New Energy DO include: Water-as-fuel, with the fuel (hydrogen) released at point of use and not transported in pipes or stored. Novel hydrogen chemistry such as the Mills hydrogen gas cell Revolutionary approaches to using ambient heat, such as the Rauen experiment Solid-state (no moving parts) devices in which electronic circuitry and materials resonate with the cosmic background energy Sonofusion (use of sound frequencies). Vortex technologies -- working with nature's favorite tool instead of working against nature. 2. How long has New Energy been around? Although its rediscovery has occurred mainly within the past century, ambient free energy has been in existence since the beginning of our known universe. 3. What is the reason that New Energy is not available everywhere? The idea of placing a technology into the hands of the general public that can produce energy from a free source such as water, magnetism, or the zero point of time and space has been postulated by many. Perhaps one of the foremost persons to have made the attempt in making this idea a reality was Nikola Tesla, the father of free energy. Unfortunately, the current providers of energy and the many people on their payrolls see such an idea as posing a great threat to their profits and monopolies. They believe their existence relies on the current fact that the average person depends on fossil fuels for their energy requirements. Therefore this class of energy inventions has met with closed doors when seeking funding or academic support, and individuals who publicly went against the energy industry have in the past been ridiculed, shut down or silenced. Founder of the New Energy Movement Brian O'Leary, Ph.D. points out that New Energy technology is in its early stages of research-and-development. He says asking all inventors to publicly demonstrate their inventions at this time may be unrealistic. Not only are they scattered and underfunded, but "asking today's inventors to deliver the goods is like asking the Wright Brothers to deliver passengers and mail just after their maiden flight in 1903." 4. What has to happen to make New Energy available now? Funding for refining the inventions into reliable products that are standardized for mass production is needed. The development and mass production of any technology is also dependent on the demand for that technology. Presently, there is not enough public awareness on the subject of New Energy to create a strong enough demand. Knowledge is a right and power in itself. Our reality is made from our thoughts, and what we all think today will determine our future tomorrow. By becoming more aware of New Energy sources, you are one step closer to the freedom that such technologies can offer you and all of humanity. At the present time revolutionary New Energy is possessed only by its inventors, and those who have the ability to understand and use these technologies for themselves.
