*Yesteday's breaking news story in UK press:
Sunday September 21, 2003 [excerpts below]
http://www.observer.co.uk The Observer
http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1046388,00.html
"White House officials have undermined their own government scientists'
research into climate change to play down the impact of global warming,
an investigation by The Observer can reveal.
"The disclosure will anger environment campaigners who claim that efforts
to cut greenhouse gas emissions are being sabotaged because of President
George W. Bush's links to the oil industry.
"Emails and internal government documents obtained by The Observer show
that officials have sought to edit or remove research warning that the
problem is serious. They have enlisted the help of conservative lobby
groups funded by the oil industry to attack US government scientists if
they produce work seen as accepting too readily that pollution is an
issue."

O'Leary's July 23, 2003, testimony to California Energy Commission
proposing a New Energy Policy for California (copied near end below)
-- O'Leary and other top energy scientists visited Governor Davis' office
and the California Energy Commission Offices in early August 2001,
delivering information about new scientific developments portending
availability of new energy technologies to replace nuclear and fossil
fuel power. This information has apparently been ignored or
bottlenecked and it is still unknown if Governor Davis is aware
of it. Dr. O'Leary's testimony two months ago to CEC was followed
that very evening by the Secretary of State executing the document
calling for the Recall Election, coincidentally.
-------
*The breaking news article still unknown to general public, by science
columnist in the Wall Street Journal, September 5, 2003, authenticating
realities of Cold Fusion technology spuriously dismissed by DOE in
1989 yet subject of multi-million dollar research projects since and
eleven international conferences on cold fusion, now understood as
"Low Energy Nuclear Reactions" which also have demonstrated
applications/side-effects portending technologies to neutralize
radioactive wastes, ie, the "Low Energy Nuclear Transmutation"
aspect of this LENT and LENR new science formerly under banner
of "cold fusion." Details at http://www.infinite-energy.com

What would have happened to Washington DC if Hurricane Isabel had hit
with its original approaching wind velocities of 165mph, ie, would there be
anything left of Washington DC today?
----
*Overview of the many kinds of new energy technologies that Dr. O'Leary is
recommending to the State of California and the Federal Government for
implementation to address global climate change and need for a Climate
Stabilization Treaty asap with accompanying "crash-program" like a New
Apollo Project or a New Manhatten Project to finish their research and
development, overcome federal dual-use secrecy restrictions, and begin
manufacturing of whatever best of these myriad devices have best promise.
[one scientist's overview:]
Recent decades of scientific advances hold bright promise for the so-called
"New-Energy" technologies genre which portend the end of nuclear and
fossil fuel power as they are urgently brought through final research and
development phases and into manufacturing with the deserved support
of public institutions and universities. This "New-Energy" genre includes
names such as cold fusion (recently authenticated by the September 5,
2003, Wall Street Journal "Science Journal" article), advances in hydrogen
electro-chemistry and nuclear-chemistry based energy technologies,
"scalar energy," "zero-point energy," "space power," solid-state oscillating
electromagnetic systems, rotating "overunity homopolar" electromagnetic
systems, energized rotating magnetic matter energy systems, and Low
Energy Nuclear Reactions with Low Energy Nuclear Transmutatation
(LENR/LENT) effects which also exhibit ability to neutralize radioactive
wastes, each with different and not yet reconciled theoretical
understandings of long-proven but inadequately publicized successful
experimental results.
-----
*The role of an expanded biofuels industry for more immediate relief of
climate destabilization by moving away from fossil fuels which do not
replenish atmospheric oxygen or fix atmospheric carbon dioxide as do
biofuels in the growing cycle. How would an expanded biofuels industry
help revive California's economy and help it take lead in an innovative
and thoughtful step by step new energy policy implementation.
----
*The status of arrangements for the Emergency Climate Stablization
Conference being convened by Alden Bryant, secretary of the
New Energy Movement, reknown "Grandfather of the UN Climate
Treaty" and the 1992 "Emergency Climate Stabilization and Earth
Regeneration Act" introduced to Congress (unsuccessfully) by his
Berkeley Congressman the late Ronald V. Dellums. This conference
is being convened as a briefing for Governor Davis's staff and the
California recall candidates, 12-1:30pm (doors close 11:50am) at
the Berkeley City Council Chambers, 2134 Martin Luther King Jr Way,
Berkeley, CA, Wednesday, September 24, 2003, preceding the
televised recall candidates debate that evening in Sacramento
sponsored by the California Broadcasters Association. Invited also
to send their representatives have been President Bush, the co-chairs
of the US House of Representatives Congressional Progressive Caucus,
Rep. Barbara Lee of Berkeley and US Democratic Presidential Candidate
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, California Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne
Feinstein, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Rep.
William M. Thomas of Bakersfield area, and a dozen or so recall
candidates who have been sent briefing info on this new energy
policy overture already for consideration over the weekend.

ask the radio station to archive this historic program for internet
listening in the future.
Dr. O'Leary is the author of hundreds of technical papers on space
and space technologies, several books for the scientific and general
public commmunities, including his trilogy of "Exploring Inner and
Outer Space," "The Second Coming of Science," and "Miracle in
the Void" about these new energy technologies and how he as a scientist
had to deal with his mind coming apart over this new knowledge and
"putting it back together." Dr. O'Leary wrote the foreword for the
wonderful general public overview book about these new energy
technologies by Canadian journalist Jeane Manning, "The Coming
Energy Revolution" from Avery books.

Here is Dr. O'Leary's formal message delivered July 23, 2003, to the
California Energy Commission:
From: Brian O'Leary
Subject: today's testimony to the Calif. Energy Comm.
Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 9:11 AM
Remarks to the California Energy Commission, Public
Hearings on Reducing California Petroleum Dependence,
July 23, 2003
Brian O'Leary, Ph.D.
P.O. Box 27,
Washington, CA 95986

I thank you for this opportunity to make an appeal to
consider robust new energy options that could save the
planet. After receiving my Ph.D. in astronomy from UC
Berkeley in 1967, I served as a NASA astronaut, after
which I became a professor at Cornell and other
universities, teaching and researching planetary
physics and energy policy, for almost thirty years.
Over the past ten years, I have been an author,
researcher, futurist and teacher of new energy
concepts. I am president of the New Energy Movement,
a nonprofit whose purpose is to cut emissions to zero
by 2020 through innovation.
I have returned to live in California because I love
the scenery and free thinking here. I think that we
Californians share in our hearts a willingness to
embrace cutting-edge solutions to the grave problems
we new face in the energy crisis before us. More than
ever, we must now be forward-thinking and examine all
viable options before catastrophe strikes--whether it
be war, scarcities, pollution, climate change, or
economical/ecological collapse. Our addiction to
fossil fuels and nuclear energy lies at the center of
our demise and can be overcome by an Apollo program to
develop clean energy--even beyond traditional
renewables such as solar, wind and hydrogen.
I believe the solutions are there if we can simply
overcome our denials and ignorance. In the short run,
a blend of conservation and pursuing low-emission
options will help enormously. But in the long run,
only new energy solutions could solve the challenge.
We will need to do much more to understand and embrace
the potential solutions.
In 1975, I served as a special consultant on energy
for Morris Udall's Subcommittee on Energy and the
Environment in the U.S. Congress and as a senior
advisor during his presidential campaign. The
environmental movement was then growing and we had
hopes then that we would have a clean, renewable and
independent energy economy by 2000. But the vision
became subsumed within the hubris of politics, greed
and bad science. Time magazine this week declared,
"...you can thank more than three decades of bungled
energy policies...Get ready for more bungling."
I am here to urge you to go deeper, to set aside your
preconcieved ideas about solutions, and to consider
some options that the U.S. government has heretofore
suppressed. I am here to propose that the state of
California study and support R & D of selected new
energy options, some of which might have practical
application in the near future, and could become the
cornerstone of a zero-emission future by 2020, and the
end of polluting energy.
Being a physicist, I would not have thought that any
of these energy sources would be viable. But after
more than a decade of intense study and travel to
laboratories all over the world, I have changed my
mind. Numerous technologies have been successfully
demonstrated to my satisfaction. Included are
low-energy nuclear reaction technology (cold fusion),
advanced hydrogen technologies, and zero-point energy.
Unfortunately, some of these concepts do not have
public demonstrations yet, but these will happen
soon.
You may have heard the loud chorus of skeptics
naysaying the efficacy of new energy. At the risk to
my own career, I have taken the opposite position:
experiments and theories on new energy keep moving
ahead as irrefutable results keep coming in and are
published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature.
We are in the research phase of an R & D cycle
awaiting sufficient funding to move forward to
commercial application. There are many reasons to
believe this process could happen within years with
adequate funding, on the order of hundreds of
millions, not billions, of dollars.
But the funding must come from somewhere and we have
seen that private dollars aren't ready to do this
until somebody is ready for commercial takeoff, and we
are not there yet. We have a classic
chicken-and-the-egg problem, one which the government
traditionally fills.
The U.S. government shows no interest in these
concepts. So I pose the question to you: could the
state of California be willing to have a look?
Because if just one of these technologies proves out
as a practical energy source, we would be well on our
way to a clean and renewable energy economy, perhaps
just in time to avoid catastrophe. Would it not be a
tragedy that the human experiment fails because we did
not have the foresight to embrace the true answers
because of our own limitations of vision?
The energy crisis is a physical problem demanding
physical solutions that no amount of political hubris,
media spin or legal manipulation could undo. But a
concerted effort coming from the public and government
could. There may not be as much fast money doing this
versus the continuing exploitation of fossil fuels
until we run out or become extinct.
We have a choice now: either to slip ever further into
the societal suicide from current energy practices or
to move into a new energy culture--even if, for the
moment, you may perceive this as a longshot (I am here
to say it isn't a longshot).
Let us dream for a moment. The Los Alamos National
Laboratories, managed by the University of California,
has become a center for nuclear energy research and
development, a technology which has now proven to be
dangerous for a number of good reasons. What if we
phased in new energy at Los Alamos, evaluating safety
and environmental impact all along the way? Some of
its scientists are already working on low energy
nuclear reactions technology. Why not expand this
effort? What is the risk, besides to vested
interests?
In the end, we will have to make some choices, and I
hope, wisely. In spite of its current budget
problems, ironically caused by the energy crisis
itself, California has a unique opportunity to step
forward into the vanguard of a new energy development
at very little investment, and as an example to the
world. Are we up to the task?
