The second presentation for the book examining why we look at our debt based market ecosystem numbers as finite while assuming that human and natural capital are infinite. Suggesting solutions for crowd sourced development of new energy innovations featured in the book to stop the madness!
2. “
The men the public admire most extravagantly are
the most daring liars; the men they detest most
violently are those who try to tell them the truth.
“
—H.L. Mencken
U.S. Editor (1880-1956)

undervalued human beings,

12. or the numbers of living systems sacrificed,
There are over 6,000,000
abandoned drill sites in the
U.S. alone, not to mention
the tar sands, fracking pools
(like this one in Canada) and
the growing numbers of
decimated ecosystems and
most of the arable land mass
of the planet in the name of
big oil and gas profits!

20. Tom Broadbent, Inventor Bruce Logan and Younggy Dan Nocera and his
of HydroPower in the UK Kim, developed a team at MIT have
uses the pressure from microbial reverse developed an artificial
existing plumbing in electrodyalysis electrolysis photosynthesis leaf

21. Organic Photonics Organic photonics and
electronics like these nano
scale solar cells can be
sprayed as dust on clothing
or other porous surfaces to
generate enough power for
all proximal appliances like
lights and electronics.

23. Simple
2 Liter plastic bottles with bleach
and water placed through holes in
the roof can supply the light of a
50w bulb and last for upto 5 years!
Access is about innovation with
what is available. Innovation that
can be accessible to many...

24. Resourceful
Rural Africans are using discarded
bike parts to make local wind energy.
What would happen if the latest IP
that is now shelved by big Oil and
Gas could be made openly available
to these innovators?

Unbounded Fujitsu Magnetic Resonance Transfer
Wireless transfer via WiTricity
is now real. From inductive
charging becoming standard
for electric cars to reapplying
Tesla coil principles to
distribute without wires at the
last mile, the gridless grid is
real and available now.

29. ...and coming soon..
Bio Generation
Sean Elliot of Boston University, can use light
sensitive pigments into certain heme proteins
into darkness dwelling microbes to produce
hydrogen fuel.
Your body is now the power station. What would
innovation like this do in developing nations if the
tech was made available?

32. Growing
Local grow technologies that use
1/100th of the water, 3-5 times the
weight of the plant to wattage used
(most indoor growers can use 1/1000
of the space of mass agriculture) and
a simple solar powerered LED bulb to
generate enough yields to never pay
for produce or a supply chain again!

33. Manufacturing
Localized manufacturing technology
with 3D printing is starting to eliminate
supply chains altogether and even print
most of the replacement parts for these
printers. Soon, buying a product will no
longer mean shipping, but downloading
the file to print where you are...

Dini has not only envisioned the
possibilities, but actually created
the prototype of off-grid energy
efficient dwellings to come...
