ZRS GREG ALLEN - SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT - MARCH 24 2007

Please note: This presentation is more for the audio value of Greg Allen's points of view concerning wind turbines being a better alternative than to having nuclear facilities being built in Ontario, Canada.

I am not the best at making videos, so please understand that if you elect to comment, please comment on the audio rather than the visuals.

This video contains an excerpt of Greg Allen and our exclusive interview that took place on Zest Radio Show with host, Paul D. Richmond on March 24 2007.

Thank you to Greg Allen for speaking with me about this topic that is so very relevant in today's world concern about our future energy needs.

Peace,

Paul D. Richmond / ZEST

UPDATE: July 11 2009

Hello friends and supporters,

We hope you are well.

Here's a little update about the issues discussed in this video.

Please read Toronto Star editorial at this link;

http://www.thestar.com/article/658528

And, here's Greg's response that the editorial staff decided to not print in response.

Any idea why the major media did not choose Greg's response for public consumption? Let us know :)

Peace,

Paul

P.S. Here's Greg's response to the editorial called "Nuclear Tennis Match"

"Rather than a tennis match, a more apt depiction is a shell game where taxes for corporate welfare are shuffled about. The editorial plays into the nuclear lobby's extortion racket that claims we have no viable alternative. Minister Smitherman's much repeated aphorism, that the wind doesn't always blow and the sun doesn't always shine, is supposed to dismiss the prospects of replacing nuclear and coal with renewable power. Nuclear plants don't always run, often for years as in Ontario's recent experience, and coal was burned to make up lost capacity. European studies already demonstrate the ability to deliver dependable, competitive electrical service without nuclear or coal, using an optimum combination of wind, hydraulic, solar, bioenergy, and storage assets. With the Green Energy Act in hand, the Ontario government needs to get planning the post-carbon, post-nuclear electrical system and energy economy. Our future depends on it."

Nice job Paul...good piece of interview and great montage to highlight it. Windfarms are sprouting up around here in abundance. A HUGE local landfill has also just installed a methane powered generator that is producing megawatts and selling them back to the power company. There's hope.

Keep up the good work my friend..

Hi Pine, Thank you for checking this video out! It's great to see your community is acting in a responsible manner when it comes to community planning of electricity production. Seems that it's a lot better consideration for all in the kind of projects going on in your area. In Toronto, they built a gas fired power plant on our lake shore and didn't even get an environmental assessment before construction. There are many good things happening because of Greg Allen and the work he does for us all

nice Video

Hi rockinfortheplanet, We do what we can to represent the interests of this planet in the here and now, and for the future too. Greg Allen is an amazing resource of new sustainable ideas and inventions that are necessary to heed and implement if indeed the planet and humanity will have a chance at positive survival.

With efforts by us all in helping to educate and inform our communities, perhaps our future generations will have a chance at a positive existence and survival.

Peace,

Paul

Fantastic and informative. We absoluetely MUST fight hard to make certain our planet finally begins to heal from all the decades of abuse. It's people like you and Greg who get that word out, keep the fight at the forefront, and work hard to never let us forget what our responsibilities are. Thanks so much for sharing this.

In order to reach sustainable investment return, the changes have to be more dramatic, sooner rather than later.

[Lilmosey]

This is why I feel as tho T. Boone Pickens and his "Pickens Plan" to get away from our dependence on oil and to build air turbines across the country in the US is one of the better plans. He has taken it to the steps of Capitol Hill and he's traveling our country to get his "army" together to try to bring others on board with his ideas. Thanks so much for bringing this to light for the public. People need to become educated, and this is a GREAT example.

[procyonis]

The changes have to be more dramatic, sooner rather than later. At present people have to fund their own changes if they wish to get out of the national grid .Wouldnt we all like to have our own wind turbines/solar panels? Yes But most people cant afford to change, or are unable to get the necessary consent from local councils..The majority of our worlds leaders just think about The economics Cheaper fuel from a poorer earth is the answer from Nuclear.

[procyonis]

Several energy suppliers here in the U.K. have green energy tariffs; the majority of allotted money from the tariff is stored until that day when it can be used. In the mean time you are still funding whatever means by which that particular company acquires its electricity, be it nuclear/ fossil fuel. Community owned wind turbines are the way forward, cut out the fat pocketted middle man who just causes war and upset over need and greed

[PeaceProfit]

Nuclear argues that infrastructure to store and distribute wind and solar is not available so their answer is to spend 20 years building more Nuclear Plants the solution is to spend 20 years building vast quantities of electric vehicles, cars, trucks, trains, bikes, rickshaws, solar homes etc. which are capable of storing & distributing power, while moving the electric grid into the road ways via induction technology thus in 20 years distribution and storage is planet wide.

We have some wind turbines around us and I have heard nothing but good about them. I don't know much about them, but I do believe from what I have heard that they are a very good means of producing green energy. Thanks for posting my friend and for the share and feel free to pass on my statement if you would like to. Thanks.

Very interesting 5***** ;):)

We have wind turbines around us. I'm not sure how they are doing. Haven't heard. Thanks for posting my friend.
