A visionary millionaire can change the game. Ed does not appear to be a visionary thinker though I believe he is a decent human being with the best of intentions. However, he is forward-thinking to the extent he has engaged the three-tiered conception of COIN so he deserves a lot of credit. COIN needs to continue moving ahead steadily with all revenue-producing operations.
It looks like few people are tuning in to the adversarial contest over organic orientation between corporate giants versus the likes of COIN. I introduced the theme in my last post. I feel certain Michael Moore would relish producing a documentary piece concerning the apparent "lock-down" of agricultural seed technology by Monsanto. This is an extremely serious issue we should all be paying attention to since it will effect all future generations.
COIN may need a radical orientation of marketing strategy, and thinking before they are able to prosper. I would be trying to access the "Hollywood elite" for assistance to locate visionary people like a Richard Branson or the notorious venture capital master, Vinod Khosla, of India who are not defeated by million dollar proposals. You need just one strong personality like an Angelina Jolie to get the ball rolling. A shy wealthy person who sees the light of the vision is good enough to get this cause off the ground.
Consider the billions of dollars spent annually on food-aid projects to troubled countries. One can expect to see Bangladesh, and certain North African nations to regularly petition for food assistance. Rather then send boxes of food every year, why not work to generate a commitment to finance a permanent COIN "Terra Sphere facility" in these areas so they will have a perpetual source of food along with some new jobs? Reevaluate the need to have a million-dollar license fee for each facility until enough of them get up and running. A true philanthropic sponsor would not need to profit. COIN might qualify for a nice tax write-off out of the deal. This seems like a proposal Bill Gates could relate to. He appears to be a true humanitarian.
If a big cost-factor of the Terra Sphere facility is electricity, then consider evaluating the emergent technology of NENE with its nano-particle spray which has the capacity to generate electricity from artificial light. This technology is designed to piggy-back from existing light. They say it can be sprayed onto most surfaces, even soft fabrics. Their technology sounds like something from a science fiction story. They have recently been taken under the wing of NREL, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, out of Colorado. NENE shows zero debt, and is presently hanging at a share price of 1.86 as I write this post.
Reorientation of status quo thinking holds untold growth potential. It takes a bit of courage to step "outside of the box." Why not make a concerted effort to move toward a New Age for the good of all.
