Dear Sir, The Subject matter is all over the World facing Energy problem, So I am trying to Explain an idea for Old & New Dams / Reservoirs Hydro electric projects Civil Design Geometry Can be modifying in Architectural Transition to increase our energy potential. Because we are Losing heavy quantum of already storage water in our Big Dams and its relevant projects to generate Hydro Electric old technology, Now it must be need to convert into new theory of Scientific Technology as per utilizing in the way of experiment with foreign expertise at any Hydro electric base Model of concern Department or forum to finalize the following unique and entire world Global developing idea for its further implementations in the current ongoing and next coming future Hydro projects as soon as possible. Thanks. with best regards. Planet of Earth Energy Crisis.

Dear Sir,

There is no consistency in the implementation, now you see, tomorrow no more. 2. Some government agencies which are supposed to accommodate, test and implement programs are just too hesitant to accept new ideas. 3. The poor inventor can not access to so called government and private funding for the success of his invention. 4. The poor inventor most often is not entertained 5. The inequality of the rich and the poor remains, so that the idea of the poor even how excellent it is, is not entertained. We are running out of time. The Coal Power plants, Boilers, Vehicle emissions and all others continue to pollute our atmosphere every second. While we appreciate the Virgin Earth Challenge, we request that the analysis and result of such analysis or study be accelerated if only to save our earth. One, two or three entries in the challenge can surely be of help in the solution of the so called Global warming problem.

I reviewed your terms and conditions for this contest and determined this solution did not qualify, by virtue of utilizing technology already in place, and more importantly, I do not agree to your terms and conditions in principle and in practice so will not enter your contest under any circumstances. The real reason why human race cannot solve cited problem is not because it is not able to, but because it doesn't want to. Solution to your problem is: Earth is normally covered by a layer of atmospheric dust, which is balanced out on daily basis by carbon wells (forests). "Global Warming" is caused by what amounts to a thick layer of soot created by pollution from things like fossil fuel power plants and cars, that has made the atmospheric dust layer thicker than usual, and changed its chemical composition somewhat, that is constantly being replenished by pollution from various sources like cars, and fossil fuel plants. The end result of this atmospheric change amounts to placing an insulating blanket over Earth, so that it traps more heat than is good for it. Because chemical composition of atmospheric dust cloud has been changed, and is thicker than it out to be,- this is why weather patterns are now more volatile, accordingly. If it were not for that these pollution sources keep putting new dust into atmosphere on a daily basis, that is greater than the ecosystem can effectively clean out to keep itself in balance, pollution output would not be an issue. By retrofitting fossil fuel and related pollution producing power plants, exhaust systems of cars, etc- with filtration and incineration technology currently in place in municipal waste incinerators, which prevent pollution related dust resulting from incineration to be released into atmosphere, will effectively put a stop to any new pollution, and excess amounts of dust in atmosphere remaining can be effectively removed from atmosphere by carbon wells (forests) in @100-200 years or so, restoring balance to ecosystem. As a reminder this solution has already been disseminated to general Earth population several years ago and is now old news. Any inquiries, please contact me directly, thanks.

Ali mentioned one solution below The Government needs something to tax, so I say we take it right to the step beyond perpetual. Take the magnetic drive system to move the vehicles and add generators to create energy during it's travels. Imagine pulling into a filling station and getting paid to discharge your battery... It gives the Government something to tax so they would have to allow it to move forward. The oil companies don't need to worry, they are at the peak of production and demand will continue to rise from those who don't care about the future of this planet. There are many ways to reach perpetual, toss out the formulas because they will tell you it can't be done... I already have a working prototype... Get me some funds and keep the government and oil companies away while I perfect it. We could have them coming off the lines at GM by the end of next year... no pollution, no gas...

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.

We are looking at one solution that is natural to directly solve the problem. So far, Iron Fertilization is the closest thing we have found to do the job on such a massive scale without side effects detrimental to eco-systems. This shot gun approach is not effective.
