The World Water Wars (Anti-Vigilante and The Rips in Time)

Anti VigilanteI’ve written an unusual science fiction novel “Anti-Vigilante and The Rips in Time”.  Creating my own world, peoples and language, the book is a “preventable vision of the future” with its hooks deep into renewable energy and the impending World Water Wars.  The science in my book utilizes ocean energy and photovoltaics to power their daily world. People from the past become the Gods of the Future as they appear through the Rips in Time.

You can find “Anti-Vigilante and the Rips in Time” at Amazon.com today, just follow this link:

Renewable Energy Event- Free Desalination Workshop

If I lived closer to Sacramento, I’d love to attend this workshop. Desalination is a vastly underused resource that creates clean drinking water from ocean salt water!

The Public Workshop will be held on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. at the Joe Serna Jr.-Cal/EPA Headquarters Building, State Water Resources Control Board
Coastal Hearing Room. The address is: 1001 “I” Street, Second Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814.

Ocean Renewable Energy News

On September 13 & 14, 2012 OREG (The Ocean Renewable Energy Group) will hold their 2012 Annual Conference “Turning Potential Into Reality” at the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

This year’s event will bring together industry, government, academia, suppliers, utilities, and other related sectors to network, learn, and share ideas on how to realize the potential of Canada’s growing marine renewable energy sector. The two-day conference will feature action planning work sessions in addition to our usual updates on progress by sector leaders, and networking opportunities intended to help build connections and support emerging industry needs.

Ocean tidal power to become a reality in the US

According to Renewable Energy Magazine:
Regulators in the state of Maine have set the terms of a 20 year contract to distribute electricity being harvested from the movements of ocean tides — the first long-term power purchase agreement for tidal energy in the US.

Have Sad Ocean Awareness Day

June 8th is Ocean Awareness Day….

I’ve lived in So. Cal. since I was 3 and things have sure changed. Now the beaches are so dirty (people leave trash and cigarette butts in the sand) and the water isn’t clean (runoff from over watering lawns has sent hundreds of pounds of pesticide and trash laden water from our storm drains directly into the ocean), it’s not safe to swim in the ocean anymore.

Sad commentary on what we (humans) are doing to this planet. Where will it end?

Understanding Ocean/Tidal/Stream Power

 

Ocean energy at work

Ocean energy comes in many forms, and has been an effective, safe, constantly renewable energy supplier to Scotland for many years. It’s time we stop subsidizing BIG DIRTY COAL and OIL companies, and put our money in the future! Here’s a link to the entire article…Understanding the Effects of Ocean/Tidal/Stream Power | RussellRay.
