PrioritiesOur primary purpose is to facilitate the emergence of ever more highly efficient, non-depleting energy technologies into the marketplace. We ourselves might not be the ones to actually introduce the products to the marketplace, but we provide support for those who do by providing a fertile ground of identifying and bringing forth proven concepts that can be taken by others to the marketplace where they can bless the lives of mankind. All of our tasks need to be undertaken with this objective in mind. Some technologies do not directly promise to be a marketable device, yet they serve to foster the advance of other technologies that do. That said, let us now consider each of our roles, and see how it ties into
this primary objective. Open Sourcing: Taking working technologies and openly publishing them, with a means of receiving input from a world of contributors who help continually improve the technology. Anyone is free (and encouraged) to take a particular iteration of our work and present it to the market. News: Report on developments with the purpose of inspiring the field with advances made, and warning them of pitfalls and mistakes. Encyclopedia: Compile concisely, accurately, as well as comprehensively an anthology for trusted and helpful reference by those who are advancing the technology, from the inventor, to the investor, to the marketer, to the customer. Showcase: Display working technologies to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology, to inspire belief in its potential, and confidence in its function, thus speeding its arrival and propagation in the marketplace. Grants: To help obscure but deserving emerging technologies make it to the next step of development -- toward the marketplace. Awards: Awarded each 6 months to encourage designs that have promise for the marketplace. Library: Provide resources to support the knowledge base required to understand, assess, refine, and present a technology to market. Academy: Fosters education of people in these technologies that they might be better ready to invent, confirm, invest, market or purchase them. Internships: Give students a hands on learning experience in the process of assessing, refining, and preparing a technology for the marketplace. Store: Provide technologies for sale that have arrived at the marketplace; as well as kits, books, videos, instruction manuals, components that they can use to bring other technologies to market. Philanthropy: Give a hand to those who are in difficult circumstances and thus not able to afford items that could bless their lives. PAC: Identify laws that impede the advancement of these technologies, and help to amend them that the technologies might arrive without hindrance to the marketplace. See also
