So Whathappens IF...... we stay on this track?

Over 1,000 new coal-fired power plants planned

Is this a future you want...

... for your children? For anyone‘s children?

In the US, the median

person pays $1 in 6 for

energy

$9,000/year, $22 a day

Worldwide:

$1 a day for energy

on $3 a day

income

Global energy costs: $ 5 trillion a year…… Global rate of increase in debt:

$5 trillion a year

Coincidence?

Business As Usual will get us...

• Global Warming

• Worse Air Pollution

• Heat Stress

• Increases in Sea Levels

• Ocean Acidification

• Mega Storms

• Droughts....

What IF...we change track?

Fusion

13th Feb 2014

„…$5 billion National Ignition Facility, where scientists recently got a tiny bit closer to their goal of creating a controlled fusion reaction…”

„Conventional“ Fusion:

Heat + Neutrons...

Big, $$$, Too Late

„pB11“ Fusion:

Direct Electrical Energy

Affordable, Nearly Ready

Lawrenceville Plasma Physics & the Dense Plasma Focus

pB11 is aneutronic (NO radiation)

Compact (shipping container)

Cheapest Energy Source by far!

Limitless fuel from SEAWATER!

Goal product: 5 MW Focus Fusion generator

At approx $1M / unit

Lower projected cost than any other energy tech

$60/kW or 0.2 cents/kWh

LPP Timeline

2013-2014: Scientific demo

2017-2018: Commercial prototype

2019: Mass manufacture

Independent Review Assessment

“a much higher

level of investment is

warranted“

How You can Help

• Volunteer to help with media awareness: Tweet, Blog, Call

• Pledge to the campaign

• Donate

US $2M in additional funding will allow LPP to contract specialist engineering help to achieve ignition in 2014

This will be a game changer for Climate and Human Health!
