The Metamorphosis Project
To my many Friends, Family, Colleagues, and fellow citizens of the Great Planet Earth. I am honored to be able to present to you the first public draft of the Metamorphosis Blueprint; this document has been a collaboration from some of the greatest thinkers and doers of this century.

I don’t believe that many would argue that the continued pattern of living and working together needs a change to be sustainable into our future generations. This Blueprint is a “Protocol” for living and working together under the same Sun on the same Planet.
I would ask each of you to take a moment to read this short document, it may change your life, it may reinforce your own commitment, it may be Read the rest of this entry »

Alternative Energy
Today Pareto Energy and Howard University announced the first every MicroGrid partnership. Organized around co-generation technologies the proposed MicroGrid will allow highly efficient technologies to simultaneously produce electric and thermal energy used for space heating and cooling among other things.
The build out will take about two years to complete and based on the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) the engineering phase will begin immediately. Howard University is only one of five academic facilities in the nation with a core competency in SmartGrid and MicroGrid design and development. Guy Warner, founder and CEO of Pareto Energy when asked about MicroGrids is quoted “They’re also efficient, secure and often renewable energy sources that create jobs while eliminating the threat of power interruptions that cost Americans billions of dollars every year”
