A New System for Open, Location Independent, Reliable, Clean and Renewable Energy.

An Open Letter to Sir Richard Branson

Dear Sir Richard Branson,

Upon reading the information on the recently announced Virgin Earth Challenge I feel that although I admire the noble effort, I have difficulty with the terms and conditions of the challenge. I believe that if you and the Virgin group of companies were serious regarding improving our planet that you have the resources to make an immediate change in the world energy situation and to lower the risk of climate change.

I believe that we have an initial design for an implementable system that uses indirect solar collection to generate electricity, produce clean water and store thermal energy in an economical, environmentally friendly, scalable, reliable, efficient and location independent manner using common construction materials. This system design is not under limited Intellectual Property protection and a pilot project and further commercial ventures may be initiated under the Virgin brand.

I am challenging you to invest some resources, form an engineering team and take the shpegs.org idea and build some efficient thermal solar energy systems with massive bright red convection towers with the Virgin logo painted on the side.

Sincerely,
Robert J. Rohatensky
