Dear GENI
Friend,
One year
ago, GENI launched our campaign to Fund
the Vision of GENI
—
to
make this project real in the world. I have just finished
a second series of Contribution Evenings where you
pledged another $100,000 to GENI this year! That brings
our campaign total to $350,000 towards our $1 million
dollar goal. Your support has been astounding.
Your backing
has enabled us to begin both primary projects: the
Computer
Simulation Model and the Film/Documentary.
These two artifacts will forever change the energy/environmental
agenda. The Computer Model will deliver cost/benefit
analysis to the experts and policy makers, and the
Film will inform the general public of the opportunity
for global cooperation.
Critical
areas in the world are progressing in parallel with
our message. Our recent newsletter reported the
opening for interconnections in the Middle East after
the Israeli/PLO peace accords. Further progress has
been reported by Electric Utility Week:
Among
the projects under consideration are a canal between
the Dead Sea and the Red Sea that would produce
electricity for Israel, Jordan and the West Bank,
and a pumped-storage (hydro) plant at the Dead
Sea or the Sea of Galilee that would generate
power for sale to Israel, Jordan and Palestinians.
At the
World
Energy Conference in 1992, Mike Fisher and I met
the Energy Ministers of Jordan and Egypt, as well
as some Israeli system planners. We gave them the
GENI information, but at the time they were understandably
reticent to offer much hope. We played a part in
this dialogue, which could not have happened without
your support.
A present
strategic focus is on the energy requirements of the
exploding population in India, China and SE Asia.
We are developing our presence in the region, and
will keep you informed as we take the GENI solution
into this critical world region.
Thank you
for playing a key role in funding this vision.
Sincerely,
Peter Meisen
Executive
Director
