Inaugural Post

Greetings everyone, welcome to the inaugural LGS post. Thanks to the people who have been here for me while I put things together. Things are still getting put together, I still have a couple more book categories to set up, I am still adding friends to the Last Regulars section, and I'm also managing the General Petition for New-Energy. If you have not read that petition, please do, I think you'll agree it is an important effort. It is really the inspiration for this blog, and also for NEXDemand and all that is growing from that. There is a lot happening. You know, I have to keep myself busy between customers. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to wait around for something to do. I make my own breaks.

I think when it comes right down to it, you can get to the point of what all this is about in the understanding that we can solve any problem we create. We have to draw from our creativity. There was a time when that really meant something. You know, all the stories you've heard about the great inventors who changed our lives? Well, there are new ones out there now, and they need to be appreciated, and brought into the forefront of our attention.

You'll find a lot of great info here, and plenty of things to keep you busy and hopefully entertained as we figure out what we are going to do about keeping our future open to travel, and plenty of power. There will be more and more added as we go along. So I hope you'll subscribe to the feed, too.

I'm like you, I am an expert on the subject of fuel and power. If you are an American  you are part of the Energy Establishment. In the US, we use about 24% of all the energy produced in the world, and we are merely 5% of the population. Wow! If that's not an establishment, I don't know what is, right! Hmmm, what're we gonna do, huh?

Well, If there is anyone who can figure it out, we can. Most of the major advancements in energy and travel have come from our country. We had a little thing called the Industrial Revolution, and it changed everything about the way we look at the world and our place in it. So now, we are experiencing the effects of our actions, and we are going to have to apply the creativity that brought our new way of life to solving the same problems that are the by-products of that creation.

Think of the computer you are using right now. Just ten years ago a computer with such performance would have cost 10 times as much, and it would be at least 5 times bigger. That is the way technology and innovation works when we let it. So that's what we have to do.

We've gotten a little soft and pudgy over the years as we've enjoyed the fruits of the efforts of our predecessors. The cost of fuel is going to take care of that isn't it? Food prices go up when fuel costs go up so we eat less, because it costs more to get it to you. We'll have to walk more, we'll be riding bikes; SEE!!! We're getting better already! Next thing you know you'll be developing the next brilliant innovation to get us out of this mess! Good for you! I wonder who it's going to be, don't you? Who is going to come up with the next breakthrough that helps us get through this?

Look, I'm not going to babble on any longer. If you want to know more about what's going on just go look around, and don't worry, the dog doesn't bite.  Other than that subscribe to the blog, because there will be more added on a regular basis, and there will be a weekly video from my workbench by 8pm CST every Friday night. So, don't be a stranger.

Have a great time.

Your Devoted Attendant,

Robert Run

Hi Folks.

I wrote a book called "What Money Can't Buy" that talked about my hopes (then) of a future Hydrogen economy. I have learned alot since doing that research and even though there is alot of good advice in it, I think I have a new solution.

ALLOW EVERYONE TO GROW INDUSTRIAL HEMP!

Instead of a Hydrogen economy we would have a Hempen economy. If everyone grew hemp, everyone would be able to feed and clothe themselves and the oil the hempseed produces can create just about everything fossil oil now can. There is no need for anyone in the world to starve or lack for clothes and shelter. We need to appeal to the greed of the powers that be that they would have more longterm profits by supporting hemp. Education is the key.

Michael,

You are welcome to send me info about industrial hemp, send it to my email address. I do plan on putting together a page of references for things like agriculture and local practice. This may not happen for a while, but please don't hesitate to send anything you think is helpful.

And if you want to come back and plug your book and leave us a link with the info or something.. that is fine too. If the book is on amazon, I will add it to the book section.
