The “super” scale plant configuration is designed for an estimated annual output of 109 million GWhrs or 109,000  Terra Watt hours [TWhrs].

Renewable Energy – Renewable Electric Power

REVOLUTIONARY CLEAN, AFFORDABLE & EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY GENERATION: There is an existing scene in terms of traditional electricity generation on the planet, and we are engaging in high level planning to create a sequence of actions aimed to arrive at an ideal scene.

REVOLUTIONARY CLEAN, AFFORDABLE & EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY GENERATION

Let’s first face the truth of the existing scene; if a needed clean and efficient method for electricity generation was obvious and within reach of Mankind, the world would not be distracted into concerns of the likes of the Copenhagen COP15 Conference.

REVOLUTIONARY CLEAN, AFFORDABLE, EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY GENERATION

That Mankind is embroiled in the issues of the COP15 Conference is a matter of grave concern for the future of humanity on this planet. Law making without enabling technology is not good government.

That we now have people like http://CleanElectricityCompany.com who are revealing methods of electricity generation the inverse of existing and increasingly undesirable methods, we at least have a good chance to survive as a human species on planet Earth.

The wrong thing to do would be to make the opportunity another plaything of financial speculation. True as it is that financial parameters are one measure of the success of the endeavor.

REVOLUTIONARY CLEAN, AFFORDABLE, EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY GENERATION

However, in this instance, the survival threat to be kept at bay will only be arrested with the emergency necessity level that confronts Earth’s inhabitants.

There is no financial value to place on the survival of humanity. What is to be done is to ensure survival using all available resources, regardless of cost.

Compare cheapest new electric suppliers plant prices for business renewables -  a cheap renewable source of natural supply that produces constant electricity?

Up to 30% of electricity production can be lost due to the need for transmission over long distance power lines from electric suppliers plant to the far away location of businesses.

Up until now electricity has been generated at far away locations – oil plants, coal plants, gas plants, nuclear plants, solar plants, wind plants – with the exception of renewable electricity solar panels installed on the roof of buildings.

Yet a solar plant needs a lot of space, installation prices are high as multiple panels must be installed by suppliers to ramp up to a desired renewable electric plant capacity for business.

For example, Google.org the promoter of the RE-c equation “Renewable Energy cheaper than coal” has installed the equivalent of 5,757 solar panels to produce 1 Megawatt of electric power.

Compare Google's Renewables

To compare the cheapest new electric suppliers plant area footprint and solar panel prices for business to produce renewable electricity the Google illustration serves as a good model of progress.

The “Area Footprint” is a prime consideration in choosing between renewable electric plant options as a small footprint means the plant can be located locally – not remotely – thus avoiding valuable revenue and profit loss transmission losses.

In addition, small footprint renewable electric plants mean lower capital costs.

No Grid = Low Capital Costs

Renewable Electricity Market: Today’s global renewable electricity market is growing rapidly, and is vastly different, customers needs have changed, but mainstream fuel burning technologies that are very capital intensive have not.

Renewable Electricity Market Trends

New technology is needed.

I think you would agree that the lifeblood of the electricity generating industry will be the ability to own and sell renewable electricity systems able to produce a constant supply of clean renewable electricity power that can be located in a small area anywhere, organizations unable to deliver it will cease to exist.

Market Trends Have Changed

Renewable electricity is the most cost-effective and non-polluting way of making power available ever known.

Just imagine that.

From the most basic fundamental of not burning a fuel that pollutes, to the most advanced know-how available in the world today.

Artistic Concept

From the basics of no use of fossil fuels, no importation and security issues, no sky rocketing fuel prices, no power loss over long distance transmission lines, no carbon tax liabilities, no large land footprints required, very low capital costs, and able to be located anywhere.

This is the most complete and up to date 21st Century know-how, the most up to date in the world today.

Clean Electricity Future Scenario Scenario #1?:
Existing coal and oil based thermal power plants continually improve fuel burning efficiency, underground Carbon Capture & Storage additions are concessionally financed, and electricity prices are continually raised to support increased capital invested – Carbon Tax Schemes – maintenance of the long distance Transmission Grids.

Clean Electricity Future Scenario Scenario #2?:
Natural gas replaces coal & oil fired plants thereby avoiding underground Carbon Capture & Storage additions and Carbon Tax Schemes, electricity prices are continually raised to support increasing natural gas prices – capital invested – Carbon Tax schemes – maintenance of the long distance Transmission Grids.

Clean Electricity Future Scenario Scenario #3?:
Solar and Wind Plants experience dramatic drops in capital costs required and electricity prices are continually raised to support the long distance Transmission Grids.

Clean Electricity Future Scenario Scenario #4?:
A disruption renewable technology using natural forces emerges able to provide constant base load electricity, with low capital cost, and does not require long distance Transmission Grids.

Given the tremendous size of the global electricity markets and known future demand for clean electricity, what is the value of the disruption technology in scenario #4?

What would it cost to own and develop the disruption technology if its scientific principles were known?

The clean energy future business potential in Brazil for example is tremendous. It is estimated Brazil will need to spend $1 trillion on increasing electricity capacity up to 2030. This can potentially be done for $100 billion (10%) using the disruption technology.

Given that electricity prices have commenced an ever upward increasing trend owing to the wide spread introduction of solar and wind plants, huge returns await any groups able to enter the markets with a low capital cost plant solution.

By comparison to existing markets that import fuels to burn, either fossil or other, like coal, oil, oil substitutes, natural gas, or biomass, there is the opportunity to introduce power plants that will cut these import needs to zero. There is scope in this scenario to negotiate a percentage of fuel savings as a royalty payment for supplying the disruption technology.

Based on the above facts project finance for electricity plants will be much easier to source and secure.

Can we afford to invest in the disruption technology to secure its use for specified territories using existing cash flows?

What if we could buy master rights to the disruption technology for the territory, or for entire regions?

Nikola-tesla-on-gaining-energy-from-a-medium

Clean energy electricity Nikola Tesla on gaining energy from a medium: 1900, New York City, Robert Underwood Johnson, one of the editors of the Century Magazine requested Tesla to write an article telling of his accomplishments.  When the article was written, Johnson returned it, telling Tesla he had served a mess of cold philosophical stones instead of a dish of hot throbbing facts.  The inventor has made but scant reference to his recent astounding accomplishments, but developed instead a philosophical system in which the progress of humanity was viewed as purely a mechanical process, activated by the sources of energy available.  Three times the article went back to Tesla and was as many times rewritten, despite the high literary quality of the work on each occasion.

Clean energy electricity Nikola Tesla on gaining energy from a medium

Here is an excerpt which impinges on the commonly agreed scientific principles surrounding the subjects of perpetual motion – conservation of energy.  Naturally, we offer no comment on the subject in presenting this extraordinary reference on his own observations, Nikola Tesla writes:

Nikola Tesla

“Here, then, was an idea which, if realizable, afforded a happy solution of the problem of getting energy from the medium.  But was it realizable?  I convinced myself that it was so in a number of ways, of which one is the following.  As regards heat, we are at a high level, which may be represented by the surface of a mountain lake considerably above the sea, the level of which may mark the absolute zero of temperature existing in the interstellar space.  Heat, like water, flows from high to low level, and, consequently, just as we can let the water of the lake run down to the sea, so we are able to let heat from the earth’s surface travel up into the cold region above.  Heat, like water, can perform work in flowing down, and if we had any doubt as to whether we could derive energy from the medium by means of a thermopile (1), as before described, it would be dispelled by this analogue.  But can we produce cold in a given portion of the space and cause the heat to flow in continually?  To create such a “sink,” or “cold hole,” as we might say, in the medium, would be equivalent to producing in the lake a space either empty or filled with something much lighter than water.  This we could do by placing in the lake a tank, and pumping all the water out of the latter.  We know, then, that the water, if allowed to flow back into the tank, would, theoretically, be able to perform exactly the same amount of work which was used in pumping it out, but not a bit more.  Consequently nothing could be gained in this double operation of first raising the water and then letting it fall down.  This would mean that it is impossible to create such a sink in the medium.  But let us reflect a moment.  Heat, though following certain general laws of mechanics, like a fluid, is not such; it is energy which may be converted into other forms of energy as it passes from a high to a low level.”

“To make our mechanical analogy complete and true, we must, therefore, assume that the water, in its passage into the tank, is converted into something else, which may be taken out of it without using any, or by using very little, power.  For example, if heat be represented in this analogue by the water of the lake, the oxygen and hydrogen composing the water may illustrate other forms of energy into which the heat is transformed in passing from hot to cold.  If the process of heat transformation were absolutely perfect, no heat at all would arrive at the low level, since all of it would be converted into other forms of energy.  Corresponding to this ideal case, all the water flowing into the tank would be decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen before reaching the bottom, and the result would be that water would continually flow in, and yet the tank would remain entirely empty, the gases formed escaping.  We would thus produce, by expending initially a certain amount of work to create a sink for the heat or, respectively, the water to flow in, a condition enabling us to get any amount of energy without further effort.  This would be an ideal way of obtaining motive power.  We do not know of any such absolutely perfect process of heat-conversion, and consequently some heat will generally reach the low level, which means to say, in our mechanical analogue, that some water will arrive at the bottom of the tank, and a gradual and slow filling of the latter will take place, necessitating continuous pumping out.  But evidently there will be less to pump out than flows in, or, in other words, less energy will be needed to maintain the initial condition than is developed by the fall, and this is to say that some energy will be gained from the medium.  What is not converted in flowing down can just be raised up with its own energy, and what is converted is clear gain. ”

Disruptive Technology

Disruptive technology: The copper-wire telephone is in danger of disruptive technology and traditional advertising is drying up in the face of disruptive technology. What is “disruptive technology? and how to take advantage of disruptive technology innovations.”

Disruptive technologies are devastating to established order.  And they underlie government’s most wide-ranging legislative challenges it has ever faced: electrical energy.

Solar and Wind technologies are disruptive to traditional coal fired power plants as they take a slice of the market traditionally held by coal and nuclear power companies.  Future growth prospects are lessened and market share lost to the disruptive innovations.

In electricity, government can force the market toward the disruptive technology toward something it favors for social and political reasons, like solar or wind power. The cost is simply passed on to the consumer.

The world is seeking clean energy, and Google posed the patyhway to the solution “RE<c” in November 2007 [REC: Renewable Energy Cheaper than coal]. Now,  an answer has been revealed for a renewable energy source cheaper than coal which is not at the mercy of the weather.  Electricity generation companies cannot ignore emerging disruptive technologies.

Disruptive Technology

Energy Cheaper than Coal or Solar or Wind produced from water does not involve heat of any kind or rely on the weather top produce reliable low-cost non-polluting electricity.

Now that the answer has arrived, how will the electricity industry adopt the clean energy of the future?

Disruptive Technology

Disruptive technology is a term coined by Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen to describe a new technology that unexpectedly displaces an established technology. In his 1997 best-selling book, “The Innovator’s Dilemma,” Christensen separates new technology into two categories: sustaining and disruptive.

Sustaining technology relies on incremental improvements to an already established technology.

Disruptive technology:

1. lacks refinement,
2. often has performance problems because it is new,
   
3. appeals to a limited audience

In his book, Christensen points out that large corporations are designed to work with sustaining technologies. They excel at knowing their market, staying close to their customers, and having a mechanism in place to develop existing technology. Conversely, they have trouble capitalizing on the potential efficiencies, cost-savings, or new marketing opportunities created by low-margin disruptive technologies.

Disruptive Technology

Using real-world examples to illustrate his point, Christensen demonstrates how it is not unusual for a big corporation to dismiss the value of a disruptive technology because it does not reinforce current company goals, only to be blindsided as the technology matures, gains a larger audience and market share, and threatens the status quo.

Disruptive Technology

Venture capital investments have tended in the past to focus on advances in computing, software, biotechnology, and semiconductors. Small investments led by venture capital firms hatched companies such as Apple, Google, Ebay, Amazon, Genentech, and Advanced Micro Devices-plus several others that never became household names.

But the growth and earnings potential when disrupting long-established industries or creating new economic sectors forms a key part of the excitement and appeal of the high-risk investment strategy at the heart of venture capital. As energy technology venture capital emerges, it is causing investors and entrepreneurs alike to sit up and take notice-and take action.
