GLOBAL FUTURE ANALYSIS


ENERGY | INVENTIONS


The most world changing inventions have not been made in labs, but in the study and the garages. Behind all world changing inventions was a total new approach. Tesla draw his concept of the induction motor just with a bough of a tree in a park for a friend with he had a discussion on the use of electricity to power the engines in the factories of the world. The world needs inventors. The Energy Crisis needs inventors. Inventors that make energy more cheap. If we don't get them, we're in serious very deep problems. Inventors needs scientists. Inventors and scientists come from different planets, they speak an other language. Scientists don't want to loose their good name. Therefore scientists must no invent: inventing is being exposed to risk. Scientists don't like risks. Inventors operate in the 50% till 100% risk area.
