Branson, Gore Announce $25 Million ‘Virgin Earth Challenge’

Please,provide contact infromation to subbmit disclosure documentation for entry: “The Virgin Earth Chalenge.”

IT LOOKS LIKE A FUNNY YOKE FROM AL GORE AND SIR BRANSON TO CATCH MEDIA ATTENTION.
SINCE NO ONE SHOWS UP IN THE VIRGIN EARTH WEB-SITE TO INFORM, REGISTER AND SUPPORT CONTENDANTS.
I GET OUT WITH MY PROYECT.

Maybe someone will create the ‘Mother-load’ invention that saves us from ourselves, but, in case not,- there are several things we should be doing right now while waiting for eureka. First of all, all chemical fertilizers should be removed and rendered harmless, if possible. Reason being that they eventually make it to the ocean and kill algae( greatest source of oxygen). Next, all the telephone/electric poles should be retrofitted to capture wind energy, connected across the country(ies) relaying and recharging bountiful free energy. Next, lands that were overgrazed and rendered barren should be reseeded by plane during monsoonal rainy seasons. Next, the billions of trees that are decaying because of the bark- beetle should be shredded and mixed with crops(?)to be pressed into somesort of building materials instead of decaying into more caron- dioxide pollution. I don’t know which crop would create a binder like that of natural treesap. And, the land exposed, after harvesting the dead trees, should be replanted with seedlings. There are thousands of projects we should be doing for Earth’s sake and man’s. These are some ideas I hope you will add to you very well-intended list. Good-luck!

Al Gore spoke in Silicon Valley shortly after receiving the Nobel Prize and expressed the importance of Techie transportation. This is really important, because even if we started Iron fertilization right now, we are unable to counter act the exhaust gas from our cars and trucks, etc. If we use a non-internal combustion method of powering passenger cars, for instance, we can start reducing the emissions that have got us in the trouble we are in. If we just keep producing gasoline powered cars and trucks, we will not be able to overcome the carbon emissions, since we are increasing our population on a J curve and increasing our automobile production to match it, with new cars and trucks.
I drive a 40 year old car, and it runs on gas, but as an example, re-using a car by fixing it instead of throwing a car away after 5 or 10 years like most people do, we save natural resources.
In this case, we are facing a matter of having started the concept that a new car is a sign of prestige. It is not. It is ruining our eco-system.

We need to be able to replace our current internal combustion engines with non-fuel burning motors. Right now, there is a company in Berkeley, California that has produced a car that uses a battery similar to the ones used in a cel phone. This battery also has been managed to run longer and to allow the car to run at normal highway speeds. So progress is being made.

Our challenge is to make these things mainstream.
One company in a small town making a few cars won’t be enough. If we can rally the major automobile manufacturers and also retrofit the existing cars with new safe emission or no emission power plants then we have a new industry to look forward to. The time has come.

Also, the weight of the cars currently being made is too high. A Rover, for instance, weighs 8,000 pounds. On the case of power to weight ratios, take the second car I own, a 1969 Triumph Spitfire (from Coventry) - it weighs 945 pounds wet. The power needed then is 75 H.P.

Increase and promote growth in the oceans like algae and other co2 reducing plants or organisism which might and has dual function
