Jim McKirdy  |  Supported idea  "Define the problem before solving it"  |  3 years ago
The only way I know how to solve a problem is to think of a solution not in the same manner that created the problem to start with. For some reason people just don't do that. They think by adding features the problems go away. The products...

Heat is the purest form of energy. With that being said. The sun's heat is the only cost effective, natural source of power. It requires no fuel to produce heat using the sun's energy.

The vision of an energy indendent Planet Earth may seem delusional to some people. The idea of our world powered by wind turbines and photovaltic power stations is quite overwhelming to the mind, admittedly. Questions emerge - doubts really. How would we get there? Where do even start? Where would all the money come from? Could I contribute somehow? Ironically, the answers to these questions and others may lie at the tip of your fingers, even as we speak! Networking is an incredibly powerful tool, especially among like minds. When powerful minds come together in unison, there is nothing that cannot be achieved, quite frankly. Through Too Step, a global coalition can begin to form. Upon form...
