Hydrogen - Another Con?
Posted on December 1, 2008 at 2:00pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
The following paragraph is lifted from a serious "alternative energy" website promoting development of hydrogen power for vehicles as a replacement for "fossil fuels" - and promoting it's suitability for massive investment.
"Hydrogen is one of two natural elements that combine to make water. Hydrogen is not an energy source, but an energy carrier because it takes a great deal of energy to extract it from water.
It is useful as a compact energy source in fuel cells and batteries. Many… Continue

The Great Green Con

The futility of using croplands for Biofuel production was clearly predicted by the team that established this Foundation right from the start - and time has shown this to be so. The early months of this year 2008 have seen a spate of reports published that confirm this - along with an even more terrifyingly negative effect on the environment than the most pessimistic of our team anticipated.

Africa, particularly western part, needs such initiative!!!
Thank and SENEGAL WELCOMES YOU!!!
Peace!
I'm very interested in the "Industries for Africa Foundation." Transfer of knowledge is our goal, and it would be great to see what synergy we can create.
Have you looked at open licenses to facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration?
I gather from your site's overview that your focus is on sharing knowledge in your particular areas of expertise, in a hands-on kind of way. That is very complementary, as our focus is on providing the infrastructure and connections, so that people can share, create and develop knowledge resources which can be shared in various ways -which we envisage happening not only by by internet as now, but through OLPC's laptops, CDs, phone, and printed material.
It would be great if you could share your knowledge on Appropedia. Let us know how we can help!
Thanks for the invite. Congrats on your initiative, it looks like you are working on a really interesting and worthwhile project. I wrote my MBA dissertation on FDI in several African countries that covered competitiveness and investment climate so what you are trying to achieve is somewhat familiar to me.
You're already stepped into a wonderful and beautifully packed year!
Nigeria is very pregnant and willing to give birth through your industrial initiatives. So always bear this sick pregnant mother in mind, Okay!
May be you can start a project which will help us in starting small rural enetreprises in tribal areas of India, where large mining and larger Industrialisation is spoiling the land, people and culture. Large scale displacement and exploitation is to be stopped and smllaer, sustainable enterprises are to be set up.
If you wish to see our small efforts you can go to: http://www.developmentcrossing.com/profile/RaviPratapShahi
Thanks for the invite.I found your website very useful and iteresting with my new appointment as the United Actions Ambassador in the Democratic Republic of Congo with the aim to advance the Millenium Development Goals of UN in the DRC.
Could kindly provide me your personal email so that I can forward some of important documents and useful information.
I would be pleased to collaborate with your organaisation to make a very big difference in DRcongo.
Warm regards ,
