PES Network free energy news and directory service passing the hat
If you appreciate the news, directory, and networking service we
provide, perhaps you could chip in and help us pull through a skinny time.
We're looking to raise $20,000.
We love what we do here at PES
Network, Inc., covering and cataloguing breakthrough clean energy
technologies. The words of encouragement and support from so many of you
means a lot to us and helps spur us forward, despite the difficulty that this
task entails.
The primary difficulty is financial as there is not a lot of money out here in
the fringes of science. Certainly you are aware that the inventors in this
arena are fledgling in their efforts to get the meager finances they need to
take the next step. That phenomenon spills over to us as well as people
are slow to open their wallets to buy the gadgets and gizmos we advertise on our
site, which helps keep us afloat.
It is true that renewable energy is the wave of the future, but it is also true
that the more exotic you are, the less support you typically get. As we
say at the bottom of our site: "He who is one step ahead is a genius.
He who is two steps ahead is a crackpot." There are very few people
who dare hang around the latter crowd.
It has been like three years since we at PES Network have passed the hat to get
financial help for our own support. We've been able to stay afloat from
advertising and a few products we sell. However, the economic downturn has
effected us to the point that we now need to do something to pull out of a red
trend that we're in. When I say "we", simply put, that entails
me, full time (supporting my family of 6), and one part-time 1099 contractor,
along with the expenses involved in keeping the websites up. The rest of
the network is a voluntary force of advisors and brains who help us bring you
this news, directory, and networking service. I mention that so that you
can get a ballpark figure in your head as to the level of funding that would be
helpful.
In passing the hat, I anticipate a couple of types of donations. One would
be some small donations by those of you who use this service regularly and want
to chip in what you can, even if it is just a token amount. The other
would be some of the companies out there who have benefitted directly and
substantially because of the coverage we have given you, the people we have
recommended, and resources that have materialized as a result. We would
like to ask you to return the favor and bestow a commensurate donation if you
can.
You can make a donation through our Fund
Drive page at FreeEnergyNews.com While PES is not a tax-free
entity, you can make a tax-free donation through our sister organization, the New
Energy Movement, which will retain 10%. Our goal for this fund drive
is to pull in $20,000. If you can, we would appreciate
it if you could sign up for a monthly pledge.
And of course we encourage you to support our sponsors, which helps them and us
and you.
ADVISORY: With any
technology, you take a high risk to invest significant time or money
unless (1) independent testing has thoroughly corroborated the
technology, (2) the group involved has intellectual rights to the
technology, and (3) the group has the ability to make a success of
the endeavor.
All
truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
