Walk with me into the 13th FYP: Development as First Priority

Ian Robert, As individual innovators, it appears that it does not matter which country you live in, there is a mountain to climb to get recognition for your ideas. I have come to the conclusion that there are Too many people who have somehow come to be experts in Green Energy or Sustainability. Some of these people were in senior positions in the Industries which have without doubt caused the issues, but now have a lot to say about how things should be done without having one idea to put on the table. Same goes for the companies, their bosses become energy advisors to politicians and the politicians do not seem to question, why they did not come up with new ideas over the past 20 years. Still do not have new ideas and continue to press the same policies which have failed over the 20 years. There is a need to look forward, by asking the question, "What is the known clean energy at this point? Answer, = Hydrogen. Action = Stop funding anything which does not include ways to make hydrogen the means to create energy, for all purposes. At the same time there is a need to recycle everything since it is plainly obvious that "usable" substances/materials all have limits. The unfortunate reality being, that water is treated as if it is not a scarce resource. These people pumping millions of gallons of water to Frack for Oil and Gas will at some point realise that water will become more important than Gold. The simple rationale being that 10 billion people can live without Gold but Water now that is a different matter. Ian Robert at some point in time, not too long now, the powers that be will realise that without getting behind your innovation to recycle waste water and sewerage and make use of the gasses given off, the future will be a disaster. Equally important will be to conserve as much water as possible. There is a problem perhaps coming, with the change in climate, the places which have historically received high rainfall and have the water storage infrastructure may well find things change. It may well be the case that each household has to have waste water and sewerage recycling systems which also produce bio-fuels and gasses. The bitter Pill which has to be swallowed, is that Central storage/generation and grid distribution networks the major infrastructure will not be able to keep pace with the climate changes. For this reason smaller onsite systems, consumer owned or rented, are going to be essential, for present modern lifestyles to continue. These micro units, will need to be joined up, sustainable systems with either no waste products or waste products which have further use such as in agriculture. Joined up thinking.
