Since reviewing the U.S. Army National Ground Intelligence Center's
report on zero point energy research, Captain Todd Hathaway chose to
conduct an independent investigation of advanced energy technologies
that do not fall into conventional alternative energy fields of
research and development. This independent investigation culminated
in an event held in Bethesda, Maryland on August 20, 2007, hosted by
New Energy Congress member Nora Maccoby. Results of CPT Hathaway's
independent investigation have been made available online at
http://www.green- salon.com/ presentations. htm Based on the interviews
and presentations over the past month, it is clear that advanced
energy technologies commonly identified as zero point energy
technologies are not only real but are being brought to full scale
production in real time.

The difficulties to bring advanced energy technologies to the public
have compromised our nation's ability to liberate itself from our
collective dependency on foreign fossil fuels. All hydrocarbon- based
energy production devices are obsolete, including hybrid cars, since
they have conventional battery banks and high replacement cost. Even
the hydrogen cars using the new fuel cell technology fall into the
same category, as hydrogen production only shifts the problem around
but does not solve the real problem of our dependency on oil --
imported oil to be more precise. Advanced alternative energy
technologies have many advantages over fossil fuels and conventional
alternative energy technologies. The volume of fossil fuels imported
to the United States could be drastically reduced to a level that
would eliminate the need for global hegemony in order to protect our
energy and material demands by shifting a small fraction of either
private or government research and development funding to advanced
energy technologies. The economics of advanced alternative energy
systems are considerably less expensive then the present multi-
trillion dollar fossil fuel based energy and transportation
infrastructures. These newly developed advanced alternative energy
technologies preserve the integrity of the planet's ecosystem at the
same time.

If the advanced alternative energy technologies mentioned in the
presentations provided via the link above were adopted worldwide, the
impetus for oil wars could be eliminated within the next five years.
Every person on the planet could have access to an unlimited supply
of electrical energy and the means of producing clean water. All
nations could fully embrace the Kyoto Protocols, as these advanced
energy technologies minimize environmental pollution. Cost savings
is also an attractive feature of these technologies when you consider
the total cost of our nation's dependency on fossil fuels. In
effect, we could change the world as we know it by 2012, as energy
scarcity would become a thing of the past. The hurdles are many and
the technical solutions are by no means simple; however, current
research findings have shown that they are all solvable given
sufficient time and research funding.

Follow-on events are scheduled in Washington D.C. as early as this
fall, similar to events listed online at www.green-salon. com, to
include National Press Club briefings and meetings with members of
Congress. Next August, the 14th International Conference on
Condensed Matter Nuclear Science will also be held in Washington
D.C., hosted by Dr. David Nagel and sponsored by the International
Society for Condensed Matter Nuclear Science (www.iscmns. org).

Mankind can no longer afford the luxury of maintaining the status quo
in the realm of energy consumption. It is time for massive change on
a global scale; and supporting advanced energy technology research
and development is our last and best hope to avoid a cataclysmic
transition to world peace by overcoming energy scarcity scenarios.
Failure to do so will inevitably result in regional and world wars
within the next five years.
