Dear GENI
Friend,
Words of
thanks can't adequately express our appreciation of
your support. Your contributions this past year have
propelled GENI into spheres of influence around the
world.
I'm sure
you are aware of the hundredth monkey
story. Monkeys on one island begin washing their food
in the ocean water to remove dirt and add taste. Then,
when enough monkeys on this island began doing the
same thing, all of the monkeys on a second island
start washing and eating their food the same way.
The moral: when critical
mass awareness is reached, everyone can then
use this information at the same time.
GENI has
not yet reached critical mass awareness yet -- but
your letters, discussions and presentations are definitely
moving us closer. I'd like to share two recent examples.
At the
recent IEEE
Power Engineering Society conference in New York
City, two presenters from Germany made similar proposals
for a major linkage between Russia-Belarus-Poland-Germany.
Both the Head of Transmission Planning of Preussen
Elektra and Siemens Engineering said that their project
proposals had origins from our GENI pack of two years
ago!
While in
New York, we were also referred by the Chief
of Staff of Boutros-Ghali to a meeting with Mr.
Nitin Desai, the United Nations Under-Secretary General
for Policy Planning and Sustainable Development. Mr.
Desai and his staff are most interested in the GENI
project — recognizing that the
proposal had come full circle since it first appeared
via the UN Natural Resources Committee 25 years ago.
With equal
excitement, I also want to introduce GENI's new Executive
Director, Patricia Stevens. Patricia brings both skills
and commitment that will help bring this project to
the world's attention — critical mass awareness.
Please call Patricia with any ideas or referrals you
may have.
Again,
please share these results with all your friends and
associates. And my very personal thanks for
your financial contribution that enables us to
do this work.
In partnership
for the planet,
Peter Meisen,
President
