The big picture: In a World of Global Warming and ever dwindling Energy Resources, the only way to maintain prosperity and growth is access to cheap, clean, Renewable Energy on a VERY LARGE scale.

 

 

Dear reader, starting right NOW , the NEXT 5 to 10 YEARS will be CRITICAL & CRUCIAL to you and me and the rest of the world !!

Whats the worst that can happen : Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See

 

 

 

Why M.A.R.E. ?

 

 

Because our world faces several severe challenges, some of which are intimately linked:

 

1.     global warming & climate change

2.     the impending energy (oil) crisis

 

Let's put it this way:

 

Our civilization sits in a car running downhill on a steep slope, without brakes and still looking for a driver !

 

The alarm bells are ringing ! 

New to the issues ? Dont' take our word, see our links here !

 

If we fail to address either problem properly the consequences will be dire:  see our Blog here (click)

 

Doing nothing is not an option anymore !

 

Mitigation to minimize chaos is complex...

 

Bottom line: while every effort in energy efficiency and conservation is welcome, very large scale clean renewable energy solutions have to be designed and build NOW:

 

 

This is where the M.A.R.E. Initiative comes in.

 

 

M.A.R.E. is put together by people who care about the future of this planet and want to act now, before it's way too late. People who do realize we need to think BIG.

 

M.A.R.E. is about putting our priorities right as a globally responsible civilization and it is about decisive leadership and bold visions.

 

 

M.A.R.E. gets it's tremendous energy from the combined power of the Sun and the Ocean, a mighty combination! 

MARE's goal is to become the largest independent clean energy provider in the world and has the potential to make the Difference, the next big step in our progress as a civilization.

The project is based on proven technologies, qualified as "suitable for funding" by the World Bank.

Background of the situation:

According to the independent Energy Watch Group", world oil production has peaked in 2006. This fact is backed up by several other sources ( see Links and Video ). Soon, production output will start to decline at a rate of several percent per year. Recent price development is just one proof of this. By 2020, and even more by 2030, global oil and gas supply will be dramatically lower. This will create a supply gap which can hardly be closed by growing contributions from other fossil or nuclear energy sources in this time frame.


No nation is prepared to deal with the high prices and shortages for energy that will soon begin to work their way through the entire global economic system.

 

The world is at the beginning of a structural change of its economic system. This change will be triggered by declining fossil fuel supplies, rapidly raising energy prices and will dramatically influence almost all aspects of our daily life.

 

Global warming is a very serious, even vital problem:

The latest data shows overwhelming proof of the deep reaching effects on our environment. The non linear nature of its progression poses a real threat to our civilization, not to speak of mass extinctions of wildlife.

In short: we are killing our life support!

 

Climate change will force humankind to change energy consumption patterns fundamentally, By significantly reducing the burning of fossil fuels and find clean, renewable, large scale replacements .

  

The now beginning transition period probably has its own rules which are valid only during this phase. Things might happen which we never experienced before and which we may never experience again once this transition period has ended. Our way of dealing with energy issues will have to change in a deep, far reaching, fundamental way.

 

 

MARE Initiative offers the world a real solution to all these problems, a future without compromises, a grand vision.

 

MARE will construct a giant energy platform on which a number of proven, readily available technologies will be integrated in a very "smart" way. This platform will generate clean, renewable energy from a single, well chosen location and show the world how to solve the energy crisis, significantly reduce CO2 emissions and slow down global warming. The proposed project , when fully developed, will produce enough electricity to power Europe and West Africa.

 

The MARE initiative is headed by TurboSolar World (TSW) of Switzerland, a private Research and Development company supported by leading scientists and engineers from the Fraunhofer society (Germany) and uses cutting edge technologies developed by the German Aerospace Center, solar energy division and other partners.

 

MARE Initiative is a work in progress, we will keep you updated on a regular basis.

Electric energy power plants produce nearly half the CO2 emissions in the world (mainly from coal, oil and gas) :(see CARMA study) this is where our main effort has to go if we want results fast !

 

 

Make no mistakes, the MARE Initiative project is like no other in this world

 

It's vision and concept encompasses the very needs of tomorrow's world, today.
We will need dramatically more electricity, very much in the form of clean, renewable, CO2 free. Not only to powerwhat we are so used to have and love, but also the upcoming , unavoidable electric urban transport, as very often seen on TV these days.This in turn will considerably
lower our carbon footprint. The MARE Project is a win-win.
But the vision goes on to clean, fresh water and food production as well, so bear with us...

 

We need support from sponsors and philanthropes, we need support from all of you ! Please get in touch with me at :
