Introduction
"Breakthrough Power: How
Quantum-leap New Energy Inventions Can Transform Our World is the result of the
authors’ individual travels through a fascinating international scene that some
people call the free energy underground, or non-conventional energy research.
The authors also follow the progress of known energy alternatives toward
quantum-leaps in the direction of energy independence and energy abundance,
instead of small-step improvements to old technologies.And why
now? The publication of Jeane’s 1996 book The Coming Energy Revolution: The
Search for Free Energy had opened doors for further travel invitations to
conferences in Europe and to meet with leading new-energy researchers in North
America. As a result she eventually saw the need for a new book for a new era.
The 21st century is ushering in a time of increasing public awareness that
energy is everyone’s business, not just a concern of the hardhats-and-pylons
crew. Choices of energy technologies affect everyone in the human family.
"In 2007 after watching one of
his public speeches and remembering the synergy and shared philosophy when they
worked on New Energy Movement projects together, she asked Joel Garbon to join
the Breakthrough Power book project. He brings a scientist’s perspective, and
shares the intention to convey important messages to an even broader public
than had The Coming Energy Revolution."
What I Learned
Joel Garbon works with me as a member of the New Energy
Congress, so it is rather hard for me to be "impartial" in my praise
for this book, because quite a bit of it is something I feel I've personally
been involved in, since I became the "Website Director" for
PESWiki.com earlier in 2008. I had to keep checking to see if we "had it
covered", as it took me over a week to get through this book by Jeane
Manning and Joel Garbon.
What delighted me to no end was the reference to technologies
that are in my "own back yard" I've help "popularize" such
as; Infinia Corporation's Solar Sterling Engine and Green Power Inc's pilot
plant for generating real live Petroleum from municipal dry waste (petroleum is
no longer to be considered as a "non-renewable"!).
We plan on using the book as a "flagship" for the
New Energy Congress and the Pure Energy Systems Network.
Now, if you think everything is peachy-keen and rosy, think
again. We all have our life experiences to fall back on and mine is in the
nuclear industry. Some of our members, including Joel Garbon are adamantly
opposed to it. He also is the President of the New Energy Movement and has been
pushing an agenda for the US Congress. I personally don't think
"government" has the solutions and I feel it hinders more than it
helps.
The reason I gave the book a 4.5 instead of a 5 is because
it does have an occasional typo. But don't let that dissuade you from buying
the book. It does look at New Energy with the right focus and that is why we at
the New Energy Congress, with all our diverse backgrounds are so
"into" New Energy. We have a common goal to work through ways of
improving our quality of life on earth without dirtying our nest.
Conclusions
If you would like to read about some of the truly
fascinating, promising alternative energy technologies "out there",
start here and then go to http://www.peswiki.com to learn even more about how we can "transform our world" into a
"want-to-have" energy legacy for generations to come.
