No, aviation is currently responsible for approximately 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions (not total CO2 emissions).

Habitat destruction so people can fly & Orangs die. Great!!

I am relieved to see that someone else considers monoculture to be a serious threat. I have the impression that some think it simply means a different crop in our fields. It doesn't. It means an end to hedgerows and everything that wild life diversity possible.

It is ironical that monoculture has driven so many woodland species into the suburbs (and along the motorway verges) where amongst the tarmacadam and neatly trimmed lawns there is actually more diversity than there is out in much of what we define as "countryside".

Hi, could someone help me to find Information on qualifying for sponsorship. I have designed a generator for use at home on a DC system, which might cause many people to choose to live off the grid. The Electric Plant, or Babylon Generator models of my invention are machines designed use available kinetic energy from a weaker potential. The energy produced is electrical, and there are no pollutants, except for those used in the manufacturing of the materials of construction, bicycle parts, mild steel frame, alternators...

I would like to have an email address if possible, to whom I may write and apply for sponsorship by Virgin, and Mr Branson.

Thank You

clive e- free energy = a fire free transport and home electrical system

(c) all of the above

Home unit are to be priced at around ZAR 2000 - ZAR 5000, various models will be develloped, parts are replaced by propertybusiness owner, simple, bicycle type technology. Good for so-called 3rd world environments.

It looks just like Robert Maxwell's Autobiography, I wonder what would happen if he "fell" off a boat?

Thanks for showing me the door to the devil, but Mr Branson want me to sign
an agreement which makes all my knowledge belong to Virgin. What can I do now ?
Any other options ?

I quote an email I sent to his Babylon Restaurant....quote

The Electric Plant, or perhaps better to call it them Babylon Generator models are machines designed use available kinetic energy from a weaker potential. The energy produced is electrical, and there are no pollutants, except for those used in the manufacturing of the materials of construction, bicycle parts, mild steel frame, alternators...etc. The generator is started with its own battery and runs forever; provided you battery is kept in good conditions, indefinitely good for the environment.

power over long transmission lines.


PS. I am not interested in signing your IDEA SUBMISSION AGREEMENT. I am for real...and thought it quaint to send this
email to the Babylon Restaurant, I feel a bit of familiarity/family there.

All I am saying is, beware when this machine is operational in peoples homes, the world
will change, oil and coal mining will become incredibly expensive because there will be no
customers, the airlines will be grounded. Shall I say who wants to join me ? Who wants to
really save the world and get rid of greedy rich people who have abused oil and coal to
keep slaves in their factories. I say down with the industrial revolution, and down with
the ones who think they can control, they have only created wars. Thanks ! see you around MR Branson.....

so you have solved the worlds energy crisis by inventing a generator which is powered by a bycicle - riiiiight

call me old mr cynical but

a) hasnt that been done already

and

b) the output from one person peddaling flat out is just enough to light a lamp on a normal dynamo - so perhaps you could explain , without giving away your trade secret naturally, how you are managing to generate enough power to make all the normal energy sources obsolete.

I would think that if this provably works any venture capitalist worthy of the name would jump at it..... so the fact they havent should maybe tell you something

If Richard followed the path of Helium supported Lifting bodies
for his air transport he could possibly still have a rigid airframe capable
of good speeds using a lot less biofuel
If only it could be blanket weed

Are the benefits any "green" fuel developed in the future as a result of donations by R Branson or anyone else, going to be cancelled out by the rate their fleets are expanding, and more runways built to accommodate them?
