There needs to be focused environments of open communication between the green luminaries/visionaries and the people who are actually building things on a day-to-day.

One of my main goals when developing mydealbook was to give these RE development collaborative tools a social feel so that these kinds of dialogues could take place. Hopefully it takes place either there or somewhere for the good of the earth.

Portable, renewable energy, desalination, super-efficient motive power for tanks and airplanes, etc. -- that'll draw DARPA dollars and political will like nothing else.</p> One way to get government funding and support is to develop green technologies that are easily militarized.
