JellyFish Windpower!

Due to the enthusiastic response (over 100,oo0 enthusiastic submisssions), it is taking longer than anticipated to review all the applicants for Google’s Great Idea Contest.  Called Project 10^100th Power, Google’s initiative has been collecting ideas from the public since last year.  The deadline to submit your idea was October, 20, 2008.

The idea behind this project is a call for ideas to change the world, by helping as many people as possible.  Google employees, with the help of an advisory board are now in the review phase (this phase began on Jan27,2009) of this portion of the contest.  Voting for your favorite idea will begin on March 17, 2009.  I will keep you informed, and plan to have it set-up for you to cast your vote here. for the Chad Maglaque’s JellyFish -plug-in wind power machine. You can show your support for his invention, and leave comments for him at You tube.

Funding from a pool of $10 million, will be awarded in May.  If the judges approve 5 winners, each will recieve $2 million.  If only 2 winners are chosen, each will recieve $ 5 million.

Project 10^100 is much like the Google sponsored Lunar XPRIZE,  which is a $30 million International competition.  The plan is to safely land a robot on the moon, then travel 500 meters on the lunar surface.  The object then, is to collect data and images and send it back to earth.  Currently, there are 16 teams competing.  The first team to successfully land on the moon and complete the mission objectives, wins the prize!

There’s Green Boots On The Roof!

If you are looking to begin  a “green career,” then be sure to visit Boots On The Roof. Their next 7-day boot camp is February 16-21.  You will leave with certification to work in the solar industry.  So, get your information and start packing.  In no time, you can put your “green boots on the roof.”

JellyFish- Windpower!

Jan-26-2009 By Barbara Zak

Did you know it only takes 40 kwh to light your home? What if you could do it with a motor that is as simple as that of a hairdryer?

A 42 year old Seattle man, Chad Maglaque, is very hopeful that he will win Google’s Good Idea Contest.  The winner will be announced tomorrow.  He hopes to bring wind power to every home. With a target price of around $400.00, it will be affordable. He calls it a Jelly Fish…well you decide!

The High Price Of Everything

Jun-26-2008 By Barbara Zak

It’s not just at the gas pump- the price of everything is skyrocketing.  Americans are hurting badly, while expecting our government to propose a plan of action NOW.  Seems all they can do is argue and not accomplish much.

On the Democratic side of politics, they have been recreating a measure in the House to punish price gougers. The bill is aimed at curbing oil market speculation (futures trading), which is a contributing factor for the price we pay at the pump. Republicans are calling for expanded offshore drilling, which is gaining popularity with rising oil prices and gas at $4+ a gallon.  However, energy experts and geologists have stated that it would take 5-10 years for ANY oil or natural gas to be produced even if the offshore drilling ban ended tomorrow.

So, when are we ever going to see a great reduction on our dependance on oil? The crazy prices of everything are having a huge impact on our already weakened economy. Energy and the Economy are the main issues of concern to the American public, in the race for the White House.

There have been many ideas on the sounding board recently in regards to the energy crisis. They include rethinking thoughts on Nuclear power, biofuels and renewables (solar and wind power) and ending the off-shore drilling ban. Off-shore drilling, clearly is not the answer.

Ever wonder what happened to the electric car, or other great inventions that could solve this problem? Electric cars have less parts, lower maintenance costs and — umm they use no GAS. What?-no profit anymore for the automotive and oil companies. What a shame that would be!  They already are controlling world governments and monopolizing most forms of transportation,making us dependent on the liquid gold.

Large international companies have for years bought out all the patent rights for inventions that work.  They work with other large companies to maximize THEIR profits. An example of this was the railroad monopolies of the late 1800’s.  They worked with each other, instead of competitively, raising rates without regard of the people. The main goal was to maximize THEIR profits. This resulted in the Sherman Anti Trust Laws, that were created to break up the railroad monopolies and bring the prices back under control.

I realize businesses are created to make profits, but governments are supposed to make living a fair and equitable life, a right of their citizens.  What happened to our government that use to work for the good of the people, with liberty and justice for all?  We use to be a free market society, where there was fair competition. Not so anymore…. not today.
