Hi Jerry,
I have not yet had a chance to read your article on Quickstep, but I just wanted to comment on your thoughts about what is holding back the implementation of solar chimneys and all the other wonderful ideas that have been discussed here. It takes intelligent & creative people to perfect these alternative energy sources. And it will take even more intelligent & creative people to get them installed. I hope we do not need a major crises for it to happen, but, likely, that is what will be required.
I remember back in the 80's I used to subscribe to a magazine called New Shelter. It was wonderful. All those technologies discussed back then should be commonplace today. Unfortunately fossil fuels got cheap again and the vision was lost. I doubt we will see any progress until alternative energy gets cheaper. It is a real catch 22, as that will not happen until they are adopted. We need one of those business model creative geniuses that you speak of.
What is Buffett up to these days??? You got any contacts...?
