Inventor Dean Kamen wants to put entrepreneurs to work bringing water and electricity to the world's poor. |

Dean Kamen unveiled the latest versions of his power and water package for the third world. The two components are a water purifier called Slingshot that uses a fraction of the power of alternatives and a Stirling engine based power generator that works on cow dung. The $1500 water purifier will produce 1000 liters of water a day, while the $3,700 generator produces around 1 kW, which is enough to deliver light to a small village. The two products have been in development for years, but it looks as though they are now ready for more prime time consideration.
Stirling Engine for THINK?

Think North America is likely to be based in Southern California and the cars it sells here will be assembled locally. The venture investors will own half of Think North America. In March, General Electric Co. invested $4 million in Think Global.

Dear Village People,
Village Energy welcomes the recent good news that Norway's THINK Global is soon to return to California* in a timely new bid to make carbon-free electric cars again! Do we really think THINK will fecklessly further the fight against far-from-functional fossil fuel addiction? ...Follow on for more.
Fresh news about Dean Kamen's Slingshot water purifier and Stirling power generator is re-fueling our fondness for electric cars and renewable energy, (and the electric car nuts and gifted inventors who make it all happen). These grassroots, free radicals, not only address the piling problems in our pitifully, poor, polluted predicament, but they are energetically and unashamedly doing something powerfully positive to make a real change in the world that does some good for life on earth to go on!
So let's celebrate the good news together, and in so doing, distance our thoughts away from all hectic confusion and hellish conditions in the darkening world sans EVs, ...because a new day is dawning, so THINK ELECTRIC CARS and think CLEAN AIR, and thank God for THINK Global and Dean Kamen. |

The car will go 110 miles without a charge and will cost less than $25,000 new by the end of 2009. Dubbed Think City, the two-seater revs up to about 65 miles per hour max, runs on sodium batteries and is 95 percent recyclable,

Our collective addiction to oil is at the root of at least six fundamental issues that are adversely affecting our nation and indeed, the entire planet:
- corporate-driven globalization,
- global warming,
- poverty,
- war,
- terrorism,
- and the undue influence of money on the political process

ENERGY
VIEW: |
With most of the world's current power supply coming from coal and other fossil fuels, we need a transition to clean, renewable energy sources that will protect the world's health, environment and quality of life. A commitment to clean energy would reduce pollution, create millions of high tech jobs, diversify our energy sources, add to global energy security and save billions of dollars. A much-needed transition to solar, wind power and other renewable energy in every region of the world holds the promise of a better future for us, our children and future generations.
