I met this girl named Sandy<\/a>, she gave me a kiss and everything went black for a week. No power, no heat, no refrigeration, and she left me\u00a0very annoyed. She came into\u00a0everyone’s\u00a0 lives like a Japanese arashi<\/a> and left as quickly as she came. She left a trail of death, destruction, and annoyance in her wake.<\/p>\n

If people had heeded the warnings of 20 years ago, hurricane Sandy might have never\u00a0occurred,\u00a0 the damage and destruction to property could have been lessened or never have happened,\u00a0lives could have been saved, and the disruption to peoples lives could have been prevented.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The nature of politics, federal, state, and local\u00a0regulations, the monetary goals of corporations, government support of\u00a0entrenched\u00a0bureaucracies, and corporate lobbying has made most current clean energy solutions expensive and time consuming to install.<\/p>\n

Lets side step all of these issues and hit corporations in their pocket books. Lets turn energy generation<\/em> into the\u00a0commodity and energy into something people and corporations just have. Where energy generation and energy storage become a fixed one time cost per kilowatt and per kilowatt hour. Where if your corporation doesn’t use this technology you are at a financial\u00a0disadvantage and\u00a0destined\u00a0to fail.<\/p>\n

Setting the following project goals accomplishes\u00a0this.<\/p>\n

Create a device to generate clean, renewable energy 24 hours a day, with a minimum of five days of storage capacity, an\u00a0LCOE (Levelised Cost of Energy)<\/a> below 20 dollars per megawatt hour, a life span of over 20 years, that can be mass produced in a high speed manner using \u00a0pre-1970’s technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A solution along these lines does several things.<\/p>\n
