Fund
the Vision of GENI Campaign Results
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
