| The Fugitive Futurist (1924) |
 |
This witty short - subtitled 'A Q-riosity by
"Q"' - proffers futuristic visions of London
landmarks by way of a 'magic' camera. But
while its gleeful inventor turns out to be an
escapee from the local asylum, French
director Gaston Quiribet was not entirely
barking up the wrong tree with one of his
trick shots - that of Trafalgar Square
flooded by rising sea levels. Could this be a
prophetic glimpse of our great capital's
fate? (Simon McCallum)

| Become Solar Futurist With Wisdom2See |
 |
The Time Is Now Many Are Effected By High
Electric & Heating Bills
And With The Coming Recession That Will Be
Found Among Businesses& Residential
Homeowners Will Be Massive Foreclosures.
New revision with solar photos with important
information on 2.5 billion people on earth in
still living in the dark with no electricity.
And the question is why solar energy is so
important with today Oil Prices predicted to
reach 200 dollars per barrel and climbing !
The connection which must be understood is
that as Oil Prices climb the problem with
begins with the oil consolidation efforts
that has created the results of not new oil
refineries and the same goes with the
electric utilities companies with no new
electric power plants having to be built
within the pass 40years and many have been
converted over to natural gas from coal due
to the EPA standards.
Recent new US Supreme Court ruling due to the
scientific research on Global Warming has
made strong decisions on how the coal
industry is going operate .
The coal industry will have hell of a fight
on their hands as climate change dictate a
rush to new alternative energy solutions .
This sounds like competition coming.
We urge that if any disruption occur remember
recently CNN reported in a new documentary
this Tue called The Planet in Peril ,We have
been Warned!
Showing the effects of the war in the Mideast
making the OIL Supply being cut off for
months with your local gas stations closed
but the problem is what will drive the
electric rates ?
The Stock Markets clashes and we are learning
that it not only the housing foreclosures but
that a 50% default on car payment loans are
see increase late payment and at 3 and 4
dollars a gallon what do you expect?
Leaving very few choices between food and
medicine ....!
Let me know if you need more information on
you solar project contact me .
Make your hospitals, home ,business, church
or mosques
an sanctuary do it now for we do not have
much time.
So if the disruption do have effect on the
electrical power plant you can be a beck en
of light for our communities.
I invited you to become an Solar Energy
Futurist Today !
Our mission is to see the World 50% OFF of
OIL by 2020 let not these oil baron dictate
the agenda to the world in front of GLOBAL
CLIMATE CHANGE !
