Two examples
will highlight the difference I believe GENI is making.
For several years, we have been attending conferences
of electrical engineers. Siemens, a global manufacturer,
had originally scoffed at our work, since it wasn't
possible in the real world
. Well,
just last week these same engineers were showing maps
and plans to integrate power systems between East
and West Europe that look exactly like what we were
saying several years ago. Our crazy idea had become
self-evident -- and a major economic opportunity for
all of Europe.
Then,
two years ago we met many of the world's energy elite
at the World
Energy Conference. At that time, GENI was focused
on the opportunity of Israel and its Arab neighbors
forming an interconnected network. Obviously, at the
time it was considered out of the question. Our last
newsletter featured the handshake between Yitsak Rabin
and Prime Minister Arafat, and reports on peace projects.
Just last week, King Hussain of Jordon and Prime Minister
Rabin signed another peace accord -- and the following
day the newspapers were reporting the two nations
were going to link their power grids for mutual benefit.
Just two
years ago, GENI planted seeds into the minds of many
policy makers in the Middle East. Today, one of the
world's critical hot spots is the Korean peninsula
-- and we are again planting the idea of sharing energy
across their borders.
Your support
enables us to push a crazy idea
to one that becomes self-evident to
all.
I thank you for your commitment that shows
up like this in the world.
Thank you
Peter Meisen
