The Proclaimer

Long Live the Cleantech Revolution

Good Morning John. Excellent Article to wake up to. I hope that I someday I will get a chance to talk with you in person. I like your comment about "leaving issues to better-informed writers". Causes me to focus my attention on a much anticipated early retirement. I will leave you with this thought: Have you noticed that today's babies are born walking, NO, make that running!

Lead-Acid, Lead-Carbon Batteries: The Only Option for Average Consumer

One thing that I have not seen mentioned is the effect of driving in a mountainous region vs driving in a flat region of the country. Common sense tells me that it would take more energy to drive up hill. Even if you take into account utilizing the down hill grade to generate/recover the power there would be greater losses vs steady load conditions. Could you explain more on the difference between driving on a more or less level road vs driving on a mountainous terrain?

Will the Audacious Bailouts for Alternative Energy Happen?

Thank you Widicusf for the heads up. Nick, you are way up there. Sorry that I can't keep up with you.

I am just the kid at the ball park with the favorite "knot hole" to view the game. BUT that kid does know the score way before the rest of the world. I can at least put anyone in touch with the real brains. Just make your contact info known along with your request for info. Sorry I cannot broadcast anymore than I have already. You can, however, hang tight until the process is announced. I can tell you that I have, as well as the Discoverer, been very open when in person and publically spreading the Good News. Here is a quote from the original handout/statement made about this process by the company:

" A power plant equipped to use our process could burn hydrocarbons without significant release of CO2 to the environment (for 'carbon neutrality') and the carbon and industrial gas produced would likely result in a cost-below-zero for the electricity." Note: this was made before they discovered that the process works with hydrocarbons as well as with post combustion to destroy CO2.

The original also contained a picture of the Discoverer and his home address as well as his phone number. Now I ask you, Would you make a statement like this AND include your picture, home address & phone number. While you are thinking, ask yourself " if this process is not for real." Why, after almost two years of procliaming and attracting Qualified Investors, is this Proclaimer being alowd to continue proclaiming?????

OHH Yeah, In answer to your question John, No the bailouts will NOT happen. The Alternatives will BAILOUT the WORLD!

Will the Audacious Bailouts for Alternative Energy Happen?

Sorry Mr. Peterson, I digressed from your article. I do have questions for you. You use a value of $0.06 per kilowatt, while most people are on average paying more than twice that rate. Are you being realistic using $0.06 for your calculations? Also, assuming that the Corporate world does start using the Process that I Proclaim, How much will inexpensive (near free ) nano carbons reduce the cost of the lead/carbon batteries? 50 to 60 %? More? Less?

Will the Audacious Bailouts for Alternative Energy Happen?

Ok Nick I'm interested, tell me more. Do you know of a process or patent/ patent pending to cite? Cheaper than coal, oil, gas, any hydrocarbon or even tires & land fill garbage???? Can your system produce power OR does the source cost have less than zero overall cost? Does this system have benefit the Enviroment in any way? Does this unknown, but developed, system produce any valuable by-products? Its is going to be tough to compete with a process that does. Especially one that complements the existing infrastructure. The only possibility that comes close is "Zero Point " energy. Is that what you are talking about?

Grid-based Energy Storage: Birth of a Giant

To Mark Goldes: Amaizing discovery! After visiting your website I am even more convinced that the future of mankind will be even brighter than I can foresee. I hope that I can get an opportunity to add yours to my list of known discoveries. I can only wonder how many other unbelievable discoveries are about to become known.

Grid-based Energy Storage: Birth of a Giant

Hey! How about this senerio: Make the Electric car's battery system capable of supplying power back to the electric grid when connected to the charging system. That way cars battery serves a dual purpose while parked. Granted one risks the possibility of not having a fully charged car every now and then. But I am sure that a system could be designed to guarantee that a minimum charge would available. Sounds like a strength in numbers solutions to me.

Grid-based Energy Storage: Birth of a Giant

Thanks Jimmi for the very informitive entry. Will reducing the cost of carbon nanotubes affect the cost of these batteries?

Grid-based Energy Storage: Birth of a Giant

My Thanks to John P and Jim T for me up to speed on the latest storage technology. There are some good ideas available for small < 1 Mwh storage facilities. When it comes down to none are as praticle or have large capacities when compared to pump storage. The operating cost are closer to break even than the other options when factoring in the cost savings/benifits to the generating units. The increase in the life expectancy of the Turbins and boilers has proved to be very cost effective, both in reduced Maintence and lower operating expenses. The draw back? Location, a suitable geological stable mountain. You just can't find enough mountains in the middle of the power grids high load. A combination of both would work best. Bottom line is there is just no better solution than reserve capacity.

Please don't leave Pump Storage out of the cost comparison.
