PVTEC,
a Japanese firm that is pursuing large photovoltaic
systems hosted a GENI presentation at their workshop
entitled, Large
solar systems in desert regions of the world.
While some of the costs are still prohibitive, there
are several Japanese visionaries working to build
large solar arrays
in the
Gobi Desert of China and link the energy to their
populous east coast (along the old Silk Road from
Moscow to Beijing). I was a featured speaker at this
conference.
While in
Tokyo, we also met with the Global Infrastructure
Fund of Japan, the United
Nations University and Soka
Gakkai (a Buddhist organization committed to peace).
I even suggested the "unthinkable project" of an underwater
electric cable between Japan and South Korea, who
are long-standing enemies. Using the examples of East/West
Germany and Israel/Jordan, they saw the potential
benefit's could outweigh their deep-seeded animosity.
In Atlanta,
I was thrilled to make two presentations at the Carter
Presidential Center. We would love for the Carter
Center to include this global strategy into their
conflict resolution program around the world. Stay
tuned.
Then we
took the opportunity to visit several producers at
the CNN Environmental Documentary Unit. We're looking
for their partnership (financial and in-kind) in our
film/documentary entitled The
Power Planet.
The two page brief
is enclosed for your review. This film will merge
the best of our two videos: A
Win-Win Solution
for a one hour
feature for television. These 2 GENI videos are excellent
and still available for $20 each.
If you
have any resources for this educational project, please
let us know!
I want
to thank you for helping us drive this initiative.
It's still a new idea to many key people and organizations
(like those mentioned above.) Your contribution makes
this work possible.
In partnership
for the planet,
Peter Meisen
President
